Definitions

  • the ring comprises a skirt extending below the rupture means and a sleeve extending above the rupture means, the hoop being in stronger engagement with the sleeve than with the skirt.
  • the spirit of the present invention is to create a controlled weakness at the level of the fixing ring which is taken advantage of, not by the user of the distributor who is unaware of the presence of this weakness, but by a subsequent operator responsible for recycling. , including disassembly, the distributor.
  • This weakness makes it possible to permanently destroy the fixing ring and thus to remove the pump or the valve from the tank.
  • the receiving means 31 may be in the form of an annular groove 311 making it possible to receive, advantageously by snap-fastening, a projecting radial flange (not shown) formed by a dispensing member, such as a pump or a valve.
  • a dispensing member such as a pump or a valve.
  • the reception of the distribution member in this groove 311 must not only allow stable maintenance of the distribution member, but also a perfect seal.
  • the receiving means 31 also include an axial opening 312 through which the actuating rod (not shown) of the dispensing member can extend.
  • annular snap-on groove 311 one can imagine other structures making it possible to achieve stable and sealed fixing of the dispensing member on the ring.
  • the annular plate 32 extends radially outwards from the external periphery of the receiving means 31.
  • the purpose of this plate 32 is to exert an axial pressure on the upper annular edge of the neck to seal it. level.
  • a neck seal is interposed between the plate 32 and the upper edge of the neck, and this seal is pressed against the neck by the plate 32.
  • the guide bush 34 extends freely upwards from the external periphery of the plate 32.
  • the bush 34 extends in alignment with the skirt 33 so as to form together a cylindrical outer wall.
  • the sleeve 34 has a guiding purpose for a locking hoop (not shown), which is engaged with clamping around the cylindrical outer wall of the sleeve 34 and the skirt 33 to lock the fixing means 332 permanently engaged with the collar.
  • the ring 3 is provided with rupture means 35 making it possible to break it into at least two parts so as to be able to withdraw the pump or the valve from the reservoir.
  • These breaking means 35 are according to the invention provided between the fixing means 332 and the receiving means 31.
  • the breaking means 35 can for example be provided at the level of the plate 32.
  • the breaking means 35 are provided at the skirt 33.
  • the rupture means 35 are produced at the upper ends of the legs 331, approximately at the level where the legs 331 are connected to the rest of the ring.
  • the means of disruption 35 may for example be in the form of elongated through windows 35 which pass through the wall thickness of the tabs.
  • the fixing ring 3 of the figure 1 is associated with a locking band (not shown).
  • the tensile force or the torque can then be applied to the hoop at the level of the guide bush 34.
  • the figure 2 shows a second embodiment not claimed for a fixing ring.
  • This fixing ring designated 3 ', has a simpler design than that of the figure 1 .
  • the ring 3 ' comprises an annular plate 32 defining in its center an opening 312 for the passage of the actuating rod of the pump or of the valve.
  • the receiving means 31 do not have a special configuration, and are located just below the plate 32 which will have the function of wedging a projecting collar of the pump or valve on the upper edge of the neck. This collar can act as a neck seal.
  • the ring 3' also forms a fixing skirt 33 which s 'freely extends downwards from the outer periphery of the plate 32.
  • the skirt 33 internally forms fixing means 332 which may have a design substantially similar to those of the figure 1 .
  • the skirt of the ring 3 ′ is not formed with legs separated by slots, but is, on the contrary, continuous over its entire periphery.
  • the skirt 33 has a lesser deformation capacity, but on the other hand allows definitive fixing on its own without the aid of an additional locking hoop.
  • a covering band can however be used to improve the aesthetic appearance by masking the ring 3 '.
  • FIG. 3 we see a fluid dispenser whose tank 1 has only been shown very partially. Indeed, we only see the upper part of the tank 1 forming a neck 11 provided with an external shoulder 12 and several rotation locking profiles 13.
  • the neck 11 conventionally defines an opening 10 making it possible to make communicate the inside of the tank with the outside. This is visible on the figure 5 .
  • the shoulder 12 serves as an attachment profile intended to cooperate with the fixing means 332 of the ring 3 ".
  • the shoulder 12 extends over the entire outer periphery of the neck 11 which is oriented downwards. say that the fixing means will engage under the shoulder 12.
  • the locking profiles 13 are advantageously distributed equidistantly around the neck.
  • the fixing ring 3 has a design substantially similar to that of the first embodiment.
  • the skirt 33 forms legs 331 separated by slots 333.
  • the breaking means 35 are formed at the upper ends of the legs 331 at the level where they join the rest of the ring.
  • the ring 3 “comprises reception means, for example by snap-fastening, making it possible to receive a dispensing member 2, which comprises a body 21, a fluid inlet 22, a dip tube 23 and a pusher 25.
  • the dispensing member 2 comprises an actuating rod 24 on which the pusher 25 is mounted.
  • the fixing ring 3 "comprises several housings 335 formed between two adjacent legs 331.
  • the housing 335 can be considered as a particular slot since it separates two legs. This is clearly visible on the figure 3 and the figure 4 .
  • the housing 335 extends to the level of the means of 35.
  • the housings 335 are intended, during mounting of the ring on the neck, to receive the rotation blocking profiles 13 formed by the neck. This is visible on the figure 3 .
  • the profiles 13 fill the housings 335, so that the tabs 331 can no longer perform a rotational movement around the neck.
