Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a moulded preform for the manufacture of a recipient from a thermoplastic material using a blow moulding process, as well as such a recipient.
  • the present application relates more specifically to recipients intended to receive and dispense a cosmetic product, such as bottles, and applicator assembly reservoirs, such as roll-on applicators.
  • thermoplastic material there are numerous techniques for manufacturing moulded recipients from thermoplastic material.
  • a particularly advantageous technique is manufacturing by blow moulding a preform previously made by moulding the thermoplastic material, for example PET, PE, PP, PS, POM, PVC.
  • the preform may notably be manufactured using an injection or extrusion process.
  • a preform comprises a preform body intended to be expanded by blow moulding to form a main body of the recipient, and a preform head that is intended to form a neck of the recipient and is not intended to be deformed by the blow moulding operation. More specifically, the preform head is intended to enable the preform body to be positioned and held inside the blow mould. The preform head is also intended to enable a blow moulding tube to be inserted into the preform body.
  • Making the preform by injection is usually preferred if the recipient has to be manufactured with a neck provided with a thread or other means enabling a top such as a dispensing head or a closing cover (screw cap) to be attached.
  • Said top is often designed to be removable, and it may be desirable to secure the unscrewing of said top to prevent accidental opening. This is particularly desirable if the dispensing head comprises several removable elements intended to be disconnected from the recipient separately and/or for different reasons.
  • a dispensing head comprising on one hand a base intended to be disassembled from the recipient to enable refilling, and on the other hand a lid mounted on the base and intended to be removed with each use may be cited by way of example.
  • child-safety systems are known, as described and illustrated for example in documents US11174081B2 and DE202021106745U1 for roll-on applicators, or US5865330A for a bottle top.
  • such systems comprise locking lugs that are disposed on a part of the neck of the recipient and are associated with deformable parts of the cap. In an idle position, the deformable parts butt against a corresponding surface of the lug to prevent the cap from being unscrewed. The user can press an appropriate zone of the cap to deform said deformable parts and thus to separate them from the lug, thereby enabling the cap to be rotated and unscrewed.
  • the locking lugs are carried by a collar attached to the neck.
  • the deformable zones are made in the form of flexible tabs able to cooperate directly with the locking lugs.
  • the locking lugs are also attached to the recipient, either on a surface of a shoulder joining the body to the neck, or on a plate extending from a base of the neck.
  • the locking elements are made on a wall of the neck, which may hinder the formation of the screw thread of the cap. Furthermore, the deformation zones are formed by the skirt of the cap and are deformed by bearing against the unlocking surfaces oriented at 90° from the lugs.
  • the present application relates to a moulded preform for the manufacture of a recipient of thermoplastic material using a blow moulding process, said preform comprising a main part or preform body configured to be blown to form a hollow main body of the recipient and a head part that is not intended to be deformed by blow moulding and is configured to form at least one neck of the recipient.
  • the head part also comprises at least one portion of a shoulder of the recipient joining the main body to the neck, said shoulder bearing at least one locking lug projecting, at a non-zero distance from the neck, from an outer upper surface of the shoulder in a direction substantially parallel to a longitudinal direction of the neck.
  • the shoulder of the recipient and the locking lugs thereof are injected into the preform head, in accordance with the desired final shape, without being integrated into a part of the preform intended to be deformed during blow moulding.
  • the body of the preform is deformed and a part of the material is rejoined beneath the injected shoulder, which is not deformed during blow moulding.
  • the blow mould will advantageously be designed so that there is a continuous surface between the shoulder and an outer surface of the main body of the recipient.
  • the preform is understood to be the result of the moulding step shaping the preform before the blow moulding step.
  • the preform may be a customized product that may notably be stored and/or moved between the moulding step and the blow-moulding step. This is notably the case in injection blow moulding processes conventionally comprising two separate steps.
  • the preform undergoes the blow-moulding step sooner or later, including immediately after the moulding step, to transform it into the finished recipient.
  • the preform may also be a non-customized temporary intermediate product.
  • the portion of the head of the preform intended to form the shoulder of the recipient is made in the form of a collar projecting from the preform at a join between the neck and the body of the preform.
  • the collar intended to form the shoulder of the recipient projects in a direction substantially transverse to a longitudinal axis of the preform.
  • the part intended to form the shoulder of the recipient has an essentially flat outer upper surface. “Upper” means that the surface is oriented towards an opening of the neck. “Lower” means a surface oriented towards a bottom of the recipient or of the body of the preform.
  • a longitudinal axis of the preform coincides with the longitudinal axis of the neck.
  • the locking lug has at least one downstream stop surface substantially transverse to an unscrewing direction of the thread of the neck, said downstream stop surface being configured to cooperate with a complementary locking element of a top in order to prevent it from being unscrewed in the absence of an elastic deformation radially separating said complementary locking element from the lug.
  • the locking lug has an upstream profile configured to enable at least one complementary locking element of the top to pass by elastic deformation in a screwing direction.
  • Upstream means a position further along the thread in the opening direction of the neck, i.e. closer to the opening of the neck.
  • downstream refers to a position closer to the preform body or the body of the recipient along the thread.
  • the head part of the preform intended to form the shoulder has at least two diametrically opposed locking lugs.
  • the present invention also relates to a moulded recipient made of thermoplastic plastic material that can be obtained by blow moulding a preform according to the present application.
  • the recipient comprises a hollow main body intended to contain a product and surmounted by a shoulder bearing a threaded neck.
  • the shoulder has at least one locking lug projecting, at a non-zero distance from the neck, from an outer upper surface of the shoulder in a direction substantially parallel to a longitudinal direction of the neck.
  • the recipient is characterized in that said lug is formed as one piece with the shoulder.
  • the shoulder has a material rejoining surface between an unblown moulded outer upper part and a blown inner lower part.
  • the present application also relates to an assembly for packaging and dispensing a product, characterized in that it comprises a top that is able to cooperate removably with the neck of a recipient according to the application.
  • the top has at least one locking element that is movable elastically between an idle position in which the locking element butts against the locking lug of the recipient in an unscrewing direction, and a separated position in which the locking element is separated from the corresponding locking lug of the recipient and enables said top to be unscrewed.
  • the top is a ball holder, the assembly being able to form a roll-on applicator.

  • FIG. 1 shows an example packaging and dispensing assembly 100 according to the present application in the form of a roll-on applicator assembly.
  • the present invention is not limited to a specific type of dispensing assembly and may notably be used in pump bottle assemblies or other assemblies.
  • the applicator assembly comprises a recipient 120 on a neck 121 of which a dispensing head 130 is mounted to form a top.
  • the dispensing head 130 comprises a base formed by a ball holder 131 mounted removably on the neck 121, and a lid 132 mounted removably on the ball holder 131.
  • the assembly 100 forms a refillable roll-on applicator as described generally for example in documents DE202021106745U1, ES2413163B1 or even WO2021155454A1.
  • the ball holder 131 forming the base of the top is intended to be disassembled from the recipient 120 to enable refilling or replacement with a full recipient, the ball holder 131 being then mounted on the neck 121 of another recipient 120.
  • the lid 132 is intended to be disassembled from the ball holder 131 during a more frequent use of the applicator assembly 100.
  • the assembly and disassembly of the ball holder 131 forming the base of the top and of the lid 132 is notably executed by screwing.
  • the neck 121 of the reservoir has an outer thread 122 able to cooperate with a complementary inner thread 134 of an inner skirt 133 of the ball holder.
  • the lid 132 has an inner thread 136 that is able to cooperate with a complementary outer thread 135 carried by an outer peripheral surface 137 of the ball holder 131.
  • the neck 121 has end-of-travel screwing stops 127 intended to cooperate with complementary stops carried by the inner skirt 133 of the ball holder 131.
  • a first solution is to provide screw threads in different directions. By doing so, the lid is disassembled in a first direction of rotation, whereas the user has to unscrew in the other direction to disassemble the top. However, this is counter-intuitive for the user. Furthermore, if the user, or the factory during an initial assembly, overtightens the lid, the ball holder may be unscrewed (and vice versa).
  • Another solution is to design assembly threads on the base of the top and of the lid so that they have different unscrewing forces, the force required to unscrew the ball-holder top having to be significantly greater than the force required to unscrew the lid.
  • Such threads are complex to design and make since the intended unscrewing forces must remain acceptable for the user while being sufficiently different and outside the manufacturing tolerances.
  • the lid 132 and the base 131 of the top prefferably be able to unscrew in the same direction as in the present example, in particular in the conventional anticlockwise direction and preferably with similar unscrewing forces.
  • the top formed by the ball holder 131 has at least one locking element that is movable elastically between an idle position in which the locking element butts against a corresponding locking lug of the recipient in an unscrewing direction, and a separated position in which the locking element is separated from the locking lug of the recipient and enables said top to be unscrewed.
  • the movable locking element is formed in an outer skirt 137 of the ball-holder top 131.
  • the movable locking element is a flexible tab 138, the separated position being a position in which the flexible tab 137 is pushed radially towards the inside of the top.
  • the top has two diametrically opposed movable locking elements, i.e. two flexible tabs 138.
  • the locking elements of the ball-holder top 131 are intended to cooperate with locking lugs 151 disposed on the recipient 120 described below.

  • the recipient 120 is characterized in that the lugs 151 are formed as one piece with the shoulder 123. More specifically, as explained above, the lugs 151 are provided directly in a moulded preform head, including at least an upper part of the shoulder bearing said lugs, and not intended to be deformed during the blow moulding operation.
  • the upper part of the shoulder bearing the lugs 151 is made in the form of a collar 151b projecting radially in relation to a longitudinal axis of the preform and located substantially at a join between the preform head (forming the neck 121, which is not deformed during blow moulding) and the preform body (forming the body 122 of the recipient 120, which is deformed during blow moulding).

  • An upper part of the shoulder bearing the lugs is also located in the second volume, while a lower surface of this part is flush with the first volume.
  • the preform body When blow moulding the preform body, the preform body is deformed and expands to fit the internal shape of the mould. By doing so, a part of the blown plastic material is rejoined to the lower surface of the shoulder part located at the interface between the first (blow moulding) volume and the second (holding) volume. Consequently, the shoulder of the final recipient may have a material rejoining surface between an unblown moulded outer upper part (belonging to the preform head) and a blown inner lower part (belonging to the preform body).
