  • the system does not require to design a specific bottle to be able to refill it. Indeed, this system allows the contrary to use conventional bottles (at least a portion of the standard bottles of the market).
  • the system plans to return the bottle to be refilled and use its pump in the depressed position to introduce inside this bottle of pressurized liquid from the source bottle and passing through a filling interface.
  • the filling interface fluidly connects the flasks.
  • the liquid can be pressurized in different ways: the pressurization can come from an injection of gas for example point in the source bottle, the opening of the source bottle in which a pressurized gas exerts a permanent pressure on the liquid, an external action of pumping the liquid contained in the source bottle in order to transfer it under pressure into the interface ...
  • the opening of said at least one first bottle can be located above the bottom thereof (normal position of the bottle with the head up) or below the bottom (position returned with the head down) .
  • the system described above may comprise one or more first bottles S (bottle (s) source (s)) and one or more second bottles R (bottle (s) to be refilled) according to the intended applications.
  • first bottles S bottle (s) source (s)
  • second bottles R bottle (s) to be refilled
  • the interface is adapted to cooperate with several bottles.
  • R and S flasks are conventional flasks in the sense that they have not been developed specifically to form part of the system according to the invention. Only the filling interface and its elements / moving parts, accessories, etc. have been developed specifically for the system functions.
  • the system described above can take different forms and, for example, it can be configured with a first source bottle S located below and a second bottle returned to refill R located above the first bottle, with the interface between the two (first configuration of the Figures 1a to 10b ).
  • the system can be configured with a first source bottle S located next to a second flask returned to re-fill R (second configuration of figures 11a-b ), the bottom of the second inverted flask may be arranged at a lower dimension than that of the first flask ( figure 11a ) or greater than first bottle ( figure 11b ).
  • the system can be configured with a first source bottle S returned and located next to a second bottle returned to refill R (configuration of Figures 12a-b ).

  • the fixed portion R14 extends partly outside the bottle to cooperate with the capsule for example by a shoulder and partly inside the bottle where it is extended by a dip tube or suction tube T fixed to the fixed part.
  • the pump R12 comprises, inside the fixed part R14, a movable part (piston) R16 which is able to slide axially along the internal face of the fixed part, while ensuring a tight contact between the two parts during of this relative movement.
  • the mobile part R16 comprises a first internal portion R16a mounted on a return spring R18 which is supported on the inner face of the bottom F of the fixed portion R14.
  • the mobile part R16 also comprises a second portion R16b which extends, on the one hand, partly inside the fixed part and, on the other hand, partly outside (through the capsule C). in order to be operated from outside the bottle as will be explained below.
  • the second portion R16b is mounted to bear on the first internal portion R16a via a return spring R19.
  • This second portion R16b is an elongate piece which has a generally hollow stem shape. It will be noted that the mobile part R16 can be in one piece.
  • a pusher not shown is generally mounted around the protruding portion of the second portion R16b in order to actuate the rod (by depression) and thus the pump from a rest position (not depressed ) such as Figures 1a-b .
  • the fixed part R14 comprises a wall R14a which is pierced with one or more holes of which only one R14b is represented on the Fig. 1a .
  • This or these holes allow to put in communication a chamber internal to the pump with the inside of the bottle when the first internal portion R16a moves towards the inner face of the bottom F of the fixed part, under the action of depression of the rod R16b, and releases the hole or holes R14b ( Fig. 1 C ).

  • the height of the cage is adjusted so that the ball b can move axially away from the valve seat s and thus bring into communication the inside of the tube T and the inside of the fixed part R14.
  • the ball b remains trapped inside the cage c by the distal end thereof which is narrower than its base to stop the movement of the ball.
  • the wall R14a of the fixed part R14 has a shoulder R14d around which the capsule C is mounted.
  • the second portion R16b comprises, in its part which extends inside the fixed part R14, a flange R16b1 located at the outer periphery of the second portion so as to be held in abutment against the internal face of the capsule C when the pump is not depressed ( figs 1a and 1b ), under the action of the springs R18 and R19.
  • the second portion R16b comprises, in its part which extends outside the fixed part R14 and the capsule C (beyond the flange R16b1), a diameter shrinkage R16b2 near its distal end.
  • This narrowing of diameter R16b2 makes it possible to create one or more orifices O for venting between this narrowing and an inner peripheral edge Ci delimiting the central opening of the capsule C and which is crossed by the second portion R16b when the second portion R16b is pressed inside the fixed part R14 ( Fig. 1 C ).
  • the outside of the bottle communicates with the inside of the fixed part R14 of the pump via the orifice or openings O for venting (orifice (s) open (s)) and with the inside of the bottle via the hole or holes R14b released from the wall of the pump.
  • This arrangement thus creates a passage internal to the bottle (especially internal to the pump) for the passage of the outside air compensation in the conventional use of the bottle.
  • this passage is used to convey liquid from the bottle S, then from the interface I to the inside of the bottle R.
  • a piece R20 forming a pump cover is mounted around the capsule C and the neck of the bottle Rc generally by clamping and is open axially at its two opposite ends so as to be able, by a proximal end R20a, to be threaded onto the capsule and, by its distal opposite end R20b, leave free access to the second portion R16b and a space between the part R20 and the portion of the capsule C surrounding the second portion R16b.
  • the distal end R20b is provided with an internal peripheral rim or return r ( Figs. 1a and 1b ) directed towards the part of the capsule surrounding the second portion R16b.
  • the bottle S has the same pump structures, crimping capsule and pump cover part as the bottle R as described above, although this is not an obligation.
  • the bottle S may comprise another type of pump and / or crimping cap and / or pumphead piece, or even crimping cap or pump cover piece or just one of them.

  • the structure I10 is configured to accommodate a plurality of movable parts or attachment parts for mechanical attachment of the interface on each of the bottles R and S and the attachment of these parts together (however, in other embodiments the parts or attachment parts of the mobile interface or not are not necessarily hooked together), as well as contact parts with the protruding portion of the second portion R16b of each pump R12 to operate the pump by depression.
  • the contact parts also perform the function of seal with the relevant bottle.
  • the two parts or attachment pieces I12, I14 are each housed in a peripheral space having a height or axial dimension (taken along the alignment direction of the bottles and the interface, this direction being here confused with the vertical axis) which allows each attachment part to slide axially towards the other part from the position of the Figures 1a-b .
  • the two parts I12, I14 are arranged at the ends I10a and I10b and are held there in spaced apart position on the one hand, thanks to elastic members I16a, I16b (ex: springs of return) mounted between these parts and an inner support surface of the structure and, on the other hand, thanks to one or more internal returns I10a1 ( Fig. 1b ).
  • Each attachment portion I12, I14 has a substantially annular shape and has on each of its two opposite faces the hooking members of the two types described above.
  • the elastic members I16a, I16b are compressed until the engagement or hooking of the two attachment members I12b, I14b complementary, each of which for example each have a retaining lug shape (second operational latching position of the Fig. 1 C ). This makes it possible to immobilize the two attachment parts I12, I14 with respect to one another in a second hooking position.
  • the structure I10 of the interface comprises a central block I22 located between the two attachment portions I12, I14 and which comprises at least a portion of each of the passages P1 to P3.
  • the block I22 comprises an axial through-cavity I22a located at the periphery of the block and in which at least a portion of the internal fasteners I12b, I14b extend, so as to allow their axial displacement under an external action and their connection ( Figs. 1b and 1c ).
  • the structure I10 also comprises two parts I18, I20 of contact with the protruding part (outer) of the second portion R16b of each pump R12.
  • Each piece I18, I20 is disposed between an end I10a, I10b of the structure and the central block I22, in a central region (near the longitudinal axis, here vertical, of the structure) which is surrounded by the attachment part corresponding device I12 or I14.
  • Each piece I18, I20 is installed in a central housing delimited externally by an axial wall I22b, I22c (ex: cylindrical) which extends from the central block I22.
  • Each piece I18, I20 is made of a material less rigid than the rest of the structure I10 so as to be elastically deformed under axial stress and form a seal.
  • Each part I18, I20 comprises in its central part a channel I18e, I20e provided, at one end facing the block I22, a lip seal I18a I20a which, in the absence of air pressure internal to the interface (pressure higher than ambient outside pressure), is closed (non-return valve).
  • Each piece I18, I20 also comprises an annular protrusion I18b, I20b which extends axially from the face of the part which is opposite the block I22, in a part of this face which surrounds the central part with the channel. This growth ring I18b, I20b crushes in contact with the capsule C ( Fig. 1 C ), thus ensuring a sealing function.
  • Each piece I18, I20 has, on the opposite side side to that bearing the annular protrusion, a central cavity 118c, I20c in which the seal I18a, I20a extends.
  • the central block I22 comprises one or more projecting elements I22d, I22e, which are intended to support the bottom of each cavity, next to the seal I18a, I20a.
  • Each piece I18, I20 also comprises a passage portion I18d, I20d for the routing of the liquid for the part I18 and the gas flow for the part I20.
  • Each passage portion I18d, I20d constitutes a portion of the passage P1 and the passage P3 respectively, the other parts of the passages P1 and P3 being integrated in the block I22.
  • the passage P2 is also integrated in the block I22.
  • the piece I18, I20 also comprises, at the end of the channel I18e, I20e opposite that where the lip seal I18a I20a, a housing I18f, I20f whose width corresponds to the diameter of the shrinkage R16b2 of the rod R16b.
  • an overpressure is created in the bottle S by injection of a gas under pressure (arrow G) in the interface I via the passage / channel P3 ( Fig. 1 C ), then in the bottle S through the orifice O, the hole R14b, the opening Ra of the neck and the inside of the bottle as indicated by the arrows.
  • the liquid L present in the bottle is thus subjected to the overpressure of gas, which causes its rise in the tube T, the lifting of the ball b above the seat s, the crossing of the valve by the liquid, the rise of the liquid inside the rod R16b, through the lip seal I20a open under the pressure of the liquid, the internal cavity located behind and the vertical passage P1 (integrated passage portion I22 block and I18d portion), then through the orifice O of the bottle R, the hole R14b, the opening Ra of the neck and the inside of said bottle R.
  • the liquid thus leaves the source bottle S and is transferred, via the filling interface I, to the flask returned R to fill it again.
  • the liquid injected under pressure into the bottle R fills the latter from the neck.
  • the liquid level rises and the internal air is expelled by the tube T, as indicated by the arrows, then travels through the valve which opens under the pressure of the air, the inside of the rod R16b, the channel and the lip seal 18a which opens under the pressure of the air, then the passage P2 before exiting the interface.
  • a piece A of absorbent material such as a ring is placed around the structure of the interface, at the outlet of the passage P2 (alternatively, the piece is placed against the face where the outlet of the passage P2 is arranged) in order to absorb a possible liquid flow that may occur after all the air from the bottle R has been discharged to the outside and that the liquid level has exceeded the upper end of the tube T.
  • This piece A is also useful when the pump n ' has not been previously purged.
  • the gas is, for example, injected at a pressure of between 0.1 and 2 bar, for example 0.5 bar.
  • This gas is generally a gas that does not alter the composition of the liquid L such as air or a known inert gas (eg nitrogen). Means for injecting gas under pressure will be described later with reference to figures 7a-b , 8a-b .
  • a deactivation element B (ex: deactivation finger) is positioned, through the outer wall of the structure I to level of an organ, namely for example the organ I14b.
  • a thrust on the deactivating element B makes it possible to deform the organ I14b of the organ I12b by deformation and, thus, to release the organs I12b and I14b engaged with each other.
  • the attachment portions I12 and I14 deviate axially from one another to return to the intermediate position of the figure 1b .
  • the interface is always attached to the bottles but no longer in a locked position.
  • FIGS 2a to 2c illustrate a first possible example of a mechanism allowing a simplified implementation, on at least one of the two bottles R and S, of a filling interface I 'similar to that of the Figures 1a-c .
  • the following description relates only to the attachment of the interface to the inverted flask R, knowing that the same mechanism is duplicated for attachment to the lower bottle S not shown. All the illustrated references on the Figures 1a-c are not repeated here for the sake of clarity but apply with the exception of the hooking parts I12 and I14 and their hooking between them which no longer takes place. The shape of these parts has indeed been modified and the springs I16a, I16b have been removed.
  • the interface I ' comprises a central block I'22 incorporating at least a portion of the passages P1 to P3, an elastomer contact piece 1'18 similar to the piece I18, surrounded by an axial extension 1'22b but which has no no lip seal (however, in a variant not shown, this part may include a seal such as I18a).
  • the interface comprises a space or peripheral housing E 'surrounding the I'18 piece and in which is positioned the attachment portion I'12 equipped with its shackles 1'12a.
  • the attachment portion I'12 has an annular shape delimited at its outer periphery by an axial wall or axial elements I'12b which are provided on their outer face of teeth.

  • the interface I 'and the bottle are close to one another and the attachment members 12a (resilient tabs) deform elastically in contact with the rim r of the pump-retaining piece R20 to cross the opening delimited by the outer edge of the capsule C and this flange and engage with said flange in the retained position (hooked) on the figure 2b .
  • the interface is thus fixed to the bottle R in a first attachment position which is not yet the locked operational position. We do the same with the lower bottle S not shown.
  • the Figure 2c illustrates the next step in which levers I'30 are raised (rotation of 180 ° about their pivot axis I'30a), which causes the gripping portion I'12 to slide downwards by meshing of the teeth of the levers and teeth of the axial wall or of the axial elements I'12b.
  • the hooking portion 1'12 being attached to the piece R20 integral with the bottle R, the latter is driven downwardly with the engaging portion 1'12 (or the interface is driven upwards towards the vial), thereby bringing the contact member 1'18 into contact with the tapered protrusion R16b2 of the rod R16b.
  • the system is made operational, ready to transfer pressurized liquid from the bottle S to the bottle R under the action of a gas injection under pressure.
  • Lever means (s) described (lever (s) controlled by a gear) and its (their) implementation allows (thanks to a force reduction effect) any user can easily operate the pump of each bottle (the supply of the pump in the lowered or depressed position generally requires a force of the order of 3 to 4 kg or more) and to obtain the seal with the I'18 piece forming a seal.
  • the levers I'30 are in the locking and unlocking position arranged along the interface, which does not cause any external space likely to hinder the user. The procedure is the same with the lower bottle S not shown.

  • the system 500 is partially housed inside a body 502 of a housing or cabinet 530 closed by a cover 534 not leakproof.
  • the engaging portion 540 is part of the system fill interface as is the interface portion 342 and includes a base 542 that is lower than the pedestal 344 and includes an internal passage 544 for the liquid.
  • the two bases 344 and 544 are connected to each other by a conduit 546 (conduit for the passage of liquid) which is for example sealingly engaged in force on two respective nozzles 344a and 544a integral with the bases.
  • the base 542 is shown with a shoulder but it is not a necessity.
  • the passage 544 extends from the nozzle 544a located at one end of the passage to an opposite end which opens on the upper face of the base 542. Note that the nozzle is disposed on one of the sides of the base but it could be willing to another place.
  • the passage 544 forms a bend and thus has in this example a layered L shape.
  • the source bottle S4 is equipped with a pump 550 mounted here non-releasably on the bottle, via a crimping capsule C (in a variant the pump is removably mounted).
  • a part 552 forming a pump cover is mounted around the capsule and the neck of the bottle.
  • the pump 550 comprises, like the pump R12 Figures 1a-c , a movable part (piston) whose end 554a opening beyond the pump cover 552 is configured to fit into a housing 542a of the base 542. This housing surrounds the open end of the passage 544. Thus, the Inside the piston is in communication with the passage 544.
  • the user has only to successively press the bottle / release the pressure as indicated by the double vertical arrow to cause the descent / rise of the bottle and, thus, actuate / release the pump of the bottle S4.
  • the device 610 includes a pumping device 612 for pressurizing gas from a gas source (eg tank or ambient air) 614 and a valve 616 connected to the passage 624 (eg via a fitting 624a).
  • the source 614 shown in dotted lines may or may not be part of the device 610.
  • the pumping device 612 is for example of the manual type, for example of the type of the figures 7a-b or of the electric type, for example of the type of figures 8a-b which includes an electric pump.
  • the valve 616 is configured in a first state not open on the outside so as not to interrupt the delivery of pressurized gas in the passage 624 and into the bottle S5 (this gas is pressurized by the pumping device when this last is activated).
  • valve 616 When the valve 616 is in a second state open to the outside (passage from one state to another controlled manually or electrically), the pressure in the passage 624 and in the source bottle S5 drops and equilibrates with the atmospheric pressure, which interrupts the injection / delivery of pressurized gas into the source bottle S5. Generally, the pumping device 612 has also ceased to function when the valve 616 goes into this second state.
  • the valve is for example a solenoid valve which is electrically controlled.
  • Actuation of the valve 616 in the second state thus makes it possible to immediately stop the transfer of the pressurized liquid from the source bottle S5 to the bottle to be filled R5 and thus the filling of the latter.
  • the filling continues even when the pumping device stops working because the compressible air generates a phenomenon of inertia.
  • the re-filling system 650 of the figure 13b schematically illustrates another embodiment in which the elements of the figure 13a are identical except for device 610.
  • the refilling system 650 comprises a device 660 configured to deliver / supply gas under pressure to the source bottle S5 using a pressurized gas tank 662.
  • the pressurized gas tank 662 is capable of supplying pressurized gas to the passage 624 and to the source flask S5.
  • the device 660 comprises a first valve or valve 664 which, depending on its state (manually or electrically controlled), open or closed, allows the delivery of pressurized gas from the tank 662 into the passage 624 and into the source bottle S5 or prevents this routing.
  • This valve can be mounted directly on the tank or remote from it (the valve is for example placed on a pipe connected to the tank and downstream thereof in the direction of flow of the gas, the pipe between the tank 662 and the valve 664 may or may not be part of the gas passage 624) according to the desired configurations.
  • the valve 664 can be manual or electrically controlled.
  • the device 660 also comprises a second valve which is the valve 616 already described with reference to the figure 13a .
  • this valve When this valve is open (first state), it allows the gas to flow to the source bottle S5 via the passage 624 and, when it is closed (second state), it prevents the supply of pressurized gas to the source bottle S5 via the passage 624.
  • the second valve 616 is generally open on the outside when the first valve 664 is closed (to abruptly stop the transfer of liquid under pressure between the bottles) and, conversely, it is closed when the first valve 664 is opened (to cause the transfer of pressurized liquid between the vials).
  • the device 610 ( Fig. 13a ) or 660 ( Fig. 13b ), regardless of its configuration, may or may not be integrated with the system's fill interface. On the figures 7a-b , 8a-b , the device is for example separate from the interface.
  • the device is at least partly integrated with the filling interface.
  • This figure illustrates a system 700 refilling according to another embodiment of the invention.
  • This system takes over system 100 from the figure 9 with an S6 source bottle without pump in the head up position, a flask to be filled R6 returned, and a filling interface 702 which comprises, on the one hand, the interface 102 of the figure 9 and, on the other hand, an extension 704 of this interface.
  • This extension 704 accommodates a pumping device 710 comprising an electric pump 712 (for example with air) and a valve 714 which are both mounted connected to the gas passage 716 (as in FIG. figure 13a ) connected to the passage P'3 leading directly to the interior of the bottle S6.
  • a member 718 for actuating the pump 712 such as an on / off button disposed on an outer face of the interface makes it possible to implement the pump.
  • the valve 714 is automatically open on the outside in order to quickly end the filling (the two members 712 and 714 are for example electrically connected to one another).
  • the interface 702 also comprises a power supply of the pump and the valve (here a solenoid valve) which is formed of batteries or batteries 720.
  • a power supply of the pump and the valve here a solenoid valve
  • the connections between the power supply 720 and the elements 712, 714 of the interface are not represented in the cutting plane.
  • Absorbent material 722 (optional) is disposed on the gas (air) exhaust passage 724 which extends, in the interface extension 704, the passage P'2. This material makes it possible to absorb liquid in the event of an undesired liquid outlet from the flask R6 through the gas evacuation passage.
  • the interface extension 704 for example takes the form of a belt surrounding the interface portion 102 and attached thereto.
  • the interface 702 could be formed in one piece.
  • the interface extension can alternatively take another form. It should also be noted that part 102 of the filling interface which welcomes the bottles R6 and S6 may alternatively adopt a different form of that illustrated here, including other means for fixing the bottles.
  • the interface extension 704 can accommodate instead of the pump 712 a gas tank under pressure (eg air or inert gas) equipped with a valve fulfilling the functions of the valve 664 of the figure 13b .
  • a gas tank under pressure eg air or inert gas
