Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a fixing member, such as a ring or a turret, to fix a fluid dispensing device, such as a pump or a valve on the neck of a tank.
  • a fluid dispensing device such as a pump or a valve on the neck of a tank.
  • This kind of fastener is commonly used in the packaging of liquid or pasty product, in particular in the field of perfumery, cosmetics and pharmacy.
  • the fixing device used to mount the pump or the valve on the reservoir containing the product to be dispensed includes general a body provided with reception means generally by snap-fastening for receive the pump or the valve and fixing means by screwing or crimping on the neck of the tank.
  • a fixing ring In the case of a fixing ring for example, it extends from the neck from the tank upwards and thus hides the pump or the valve. For reasons aesthetic, the ring extends at least to the level of the lower end of the pushbutton when the pump or valve is at rest. Thus, the ring achieves a aesthetic junction between the tank and the pusher on which one presses to actuate the distribution system.
  • this type of fitting of the covering does not allow blocking in rotation, which can be annoying.
  • the present invention aims to be able to fix a covering even not cylindrical, on a fixing member, which can also be non-cylindrical.
  • the present invention relates to a fixing member for fixing a fluid dispenser device such as a pump or a valve on a tank, said fixing member comprising a body provided with receiving means for receive a dispensing device and fixing means on the tank, and a outer peripheral covering covering at least partially said body, said covering comprising hooking means cooperating with said body, said attachment means comprising teeth adapted to bite into the body.
  • the attachment means comprise a peripheral flap inwardly oriented defining an annular internal housing receiving one end a sleeve formed by said body.
  • the teeth are provided at the end of the flap.
  • said covering may be provided with retaining means cooperating with said body, the retaining means possibly comprising at least one internal projection cooperating by snap-fastening with said body.
  • the internal projection is formed by a fold towards the interior of the peripheral end of the covering on itself.
  • the body is provided with latching means cooperating with the means of retaining the covering.
  • the latching means comprise several elastic snap tabs.
  • the latching means comprise a peripheral flange snap elastic.
  • the covering has an ogival shape in vertical section.
  • the attachment means and the retaining means are provided on the covering respectively at the upper end and at the lower end of the casing, so that it is subjected to a tension between its two ends.
  • FIG. 1 there is shown a pump 3 surmounted by a pusher 4. Of course, it is entirely possible to replace this pump 3 with a valve.
  • the internal structure of the pump 3 not being critical for the present invention, she will not describe at all.
  • the only party involved in the present invention is the body 31 of the pump.
  • This pump 3 is equipped with a fixing member 2 which is present in the form of a ring.
  • the pump 3 thus equipped with its ring is ready to be. mounted on the neck of a tank (not shown).
  • the ring is formed by a body which conventionally comprises receiving means 24 which receive the end pump body upper by force snap-fastening, and fixing means 25 here in the form of an internal thread intended to cooperate with a corresponding thread provided on the neck of a tank (not shown).
  • the body of the ring comes as a whole in the form of a cylinder which defines in its part lower a sleeve 27 provided internally with internal thread 25 and in its part top of a sleeve 21 which projects upwards and ends at one end upper peripheral 23.
  • the ring forms an annular collar 28 which extends inwards.
  • the flange 28 is extends on its internal device by a sleeve 29 which defines the means of reception 24 by snap-fastening for the upper end of the pump body 31.
  • Such a ring 2 is of a completely classic design.
  • the ring 2 forms near the end 23 of the sleeve 21 an annular peripheral rim 26.
  • this annular peripheral rim 26 is produced by a thinning of the wall of the sleeve 21 at the upper end 23.
  • the ring 2 is provided, at the lower end of the sleeve 27, with pans distributed over the peripheral or a peripheral elastic flange 22 which projects outwards. These parts or this flange break the perfectly cylindrical appearance of the ring 2, so that it now has a conical or ogival overall shape.
  • the ring 2 includes a covering 1, preferably metallic, which covers the body of the ring. As we can see in FIGS. 1 and 2, this covering has a cross-sectional shape substantially ogival. To allow the attachment of this covering 1 on the body of the ring, attachment means are provided which cooperate with the body
  • these attachment means are located at the upper peripheral end of the covering 1 in the form of a flap peripheral 13 connected to the body 11 of the covering by an annular connecting flange 14.
  • the flap 13 forms with the upper end of the body 11 of the covering 1, a housing internal annular 16 (fig. 2a) in which is engaged the upper end 23 of the sleeve 21.
  • the flap 13 is provided with teeth 15 oriented downwards at the interior of the covering 1. These teeth 15 are adapted to bite into the rim 26 that forms the sleeve 21 near its end 23.
  • teeth 15 are adapted to bite into the rim 26 that forms the sleeve 21 near its end 23.
  • the housing 16 can be made of so that the end 23 of the sleeve 21 can be forcibly engaged inside of so as to wedge the annular end 23 in the housing 16. This can be done by making the housing 16 with a thickness slightly less than the thickness of the end 23 of the sleeve 21.
  • This annular peripheral flap 13 which thus forms a insertion housing 16 allows the covering to be hung up on the body of the ring.
  • the legs or the collar 22 of the ring are in contact with the inner wall of the body ll of the covering.
  • the parts or the flange thus serve as means for guiding and holding the position of the lower end of the covering 1.
  • the lower end of the body 11 of the covering 1 is provided with retaining means in the form of one or more internal projections which cooperate with the body 2 of the ring.
  • This or these projections interns can come in the most diverse forms provided that they protrude inward by forming an upward facing shoulder.
  • these means of retainers can be made in the form of a fold towards the inside of the end lower device of the dressing on itself as we can see on the Figures 1, 2 and 2b.
  • the lower end of the covering 1 can cooperate by snap-fastening with the tabs or the flange formed by the body 2 of the ring as can see it in figure 1.
  • the free ends of the legs 22 or the free end peripheral of the collar 22 come into engagement with the shoulder formed by the fold 12 of the covering 1. Because the ring 2 is made of plastic, the tabs or the flange 22 have a certain elasticity, which makes it possible to compensate for the tolerances for manufacturing the covering 1.
  • the attachment means provided at the upper end of the covering 1 are sufficient to ensure stable and solid positioning, the addition of retained at the lower end of the casing allowing it to snap into place under tension of the covering I between its two ends, which further contributes more to the stability of the fixing of the covering.
