Definitions

the invention relates to a sleeve for sealing a dispensing member in the neck of a bottle for packaging a fluid product to be dispensed, and a dispensing bottle comprising such a sleeve.
a fluid product in particular a liquid or a cream, for example a perfume, a cosmetic product or a pharmaceutical product
distribution vials having a reservoir in which the product is packaged and a neck surmounting said reservoir by defining a superior opening.
the bottle also comprises a dispensing member which is mounted in the upper opening by arranging the supply means of said member inside the tank to allow the return of the packaged product in said tank.
the dispensing member may be a pump actuated by a push button.
the inner frame has an outer surface for sealing between the sleeve and the inner wall of the neck by sealing said seat on said wall.
the known sleeves do not allow the attachment of a dispensing member indifferently in a glass neck and a plastic collar since the thickness of a glass neck is conventionally greater than that of a plastic collar .
the aim of the invention is to improve the prior art by proposing, in particular, a sleeve for fastening a dispensing member on two types of collar, in particular on a glass neck and on a plastic collar, which have an internal diameter and / or or a different thickness.
the invention proposes a sleeve for sealing a dispensing member in the neck of a bottle for packaging a fluid product to be dispensed, said sleeve having an external skirt intended to be locked on the outer wall of the neck and an internal armature in which the dispensing member is intended to be sealed, the inner armature having two respectively upper and lower outer spans, each of said spans having an interference diameter allowing the tight fitting of said bearing surface on an inner wall of a neck, said diameter of said bearing surfaces being different so that the sleeve allows the sealed attachment of a dispensing member indifferently on two types of necks.
the invention proposes a dispensing bottle of a fluid product having a reservoir in which said product is packaged, said reservoir being surmounted by a neck in which a dispensing member is fixed by means of such a sleeve. , the outer skirt being locked on the outer wall of the neck and the dispensing member being sealingly fixed in the inner frame, the inner wall of the neck being arranged to allow tight sealing on it of one of the outer seats .
the spatial positioning terms are taken with reference to the position of the bottle shown in the figures.
the product may be a liquid or a cream, for example a perfume, a cosmetic product or a pharmaceutical product.
the bottle may be formed of rigid material, in particular glass or plastic material, to include a body 1 defining a reservoir 2 for packaging the product.
the body 1 is surmounted by a neck 3 formed in one piece with said body by defining an upper opening for the tank 2.
the dispensing bottle also comprises a dispensing member 4 mounted in the upper opening by arranging the means for supplying said member inside the reservoir 2.
the dispensing member is a pump 4 actuated by a push button 5 equipped with a dispensing orifice 6.
the dispensing member 4 may be a valve for returning a product packaged under pressure in the tank 2.
the dispensing member 4 comprises a body 7 in which are housed the pressure release means of the packaged product.
the lower part of the body 7 is provided with a feed orifice, the feed means comprising a dip tube 8 having an upper part connected to the feed orifice and a lower part disposed in the tank 2.
the pump 4 comprises a nozzle 9 on which the push button 5 is mounted to actuate it in reversible translation on a distribution stroke, a piston being also mounted on the nozzle 9 between a closed state and a supply state of the orifices of said nozzle.
the invention is not limited to a particular mode of operation of the dispenser member 4.
the bottle also comprises a sleeve 10 for sealing the dispensing member 4 in the neck 3, said sleeve being able to have a cylindrical geometry of revolution and to be made in one piece based on a ductile material such as a plastic material polyolefin type.
the sleeve 10 may be arranged to mask the neck 3 of the bottle and / or the connection of the dispensing member 4 to the bottle.
the sleeve 10 has an outer skirt 11 disposed around the outer wall of the neck 3 to hide said neck.
the skirt 11 is surmounted by a well 12 in which the push button 5 is disposed in translation, in particular to hide the nozzle 9, the outer diameter of said well and said skirt being the same.
the outer skirt 11 has locking means 13 on the outer wall of the neck 3.
the inner wall of the skirt 11 is equipped with latching means formed an inner ring 13 to be locked under a groove 14 formed on the outer wall of the neck 3.
the sleeves 10 according to this embodiment have the advantage of being mounted on the bottles quickly and reliably, without the need for specific tool such as a crimping pliers, without face torque to ensure, without risk of self-evasion, and are tamper-proof.
the locking means 13 may allow the sleeve 10 to be screwed onto the neck 3.
the sleeve 10 also has an internal reinforcement 15 in which the dispensing member 4 is sealingly attached, the outer skirt 11 extending axially downwards and concentrically around the internal reinforcement 15.
the internal frame 15 has an axial ring 16 which is connected to the outer skirt 11 via a radial plate 17 which extends internally to the junction between the skirt 11 and the well 12.
the body 7 of the dispensing member 4 is disposed inside the radial plate 17 to slide axially in the inner frame 15 to be attached in a sealed manner, said body having a collar 18 which bears axially. on the radial plate 17 to define the end of stroke of said sliding.
the axial ring 16 is extended by an axial extension 19 which is formed opposite the radial plate 17, said extension being connected to said ring by an inner shoulder 20.
the axial extension 19 has an inner bearing 21 which is clamped around of the body 7 of the dispensing member 4 to ensure its sealing.
the inner armature 15 has two outer lower respectively 22 and upper 23, each of said bearing surfaces having an interference diameter Di, Ds allowing the tightness of said span on an inner wall of a neck 3.
Di interference diameter
the upper and lower bearing surfaces 23 are formed on the outside of the axial ring 16 and the axial extension 19, respectively.
This tightness by clamping is particularly advantageous in relation to a sleeve 10 provided with latching means 13 of the skirt 11 on the neck 3 since, during snapping, the sleeve 10 is slightly cupped until the nesting means snap-fastening 13 and then slackening, which induces a possible variation of axial positioning of the sleeve 10 on the bottle.
the interference diameter Ds, Di of the upper and lower bearing surfaces 23 is different, the lower bearing surface 22 possibly having a diameter Di interference which is less than the interference diameter Ds of the upper span 23.
the sleeve 10 allows the sealing of a distribution member 4 indifferently on two types of neck 3 whose inner wall is arranged to allow the tightness on it of one of the outer surfaces 22, 23, the other outer surface 23, 22 may in particular remain free.
the internal reinforcement 15 may have more than two outer bearing surfaces each having a different interference diameter for the sleeve 10 to allow the attachment of the dispensing member 4 to be indifferently on more than two types of collar 3.
the sleeve 10 allows in particular the attachment of the dispensing member 4 on the neck 3 of a plastic bottle ( figures 1 ) and glass ( figures 2 ).
the glass neck 3 has a thickness greater than that of the plastic neck 3, that is to say that, for a given outside diameter, it has an inside diameter which is smaller.
the neck 3 of the glass bottle is connected to the body 1 by an inner shoulder 24 while the neck 3 of the plastic bottle is arranged in the extension of the body 1.
annular housing 25, 26 is defined between the outer skirt 11 and each outer surface 22, 23, each housing 25, 26 being arranged so that a neck 3 can be disposed therewith. skirt locked on the outer wall of said neck and said outer bearing tight on the inner wall of said neck.
the neck 3 is disposed in the upper housing 26 of reduced thickness.
the rim of the neck 3 is disposed under the radial plate 17, the sleeve 10 being tight tight on the inner wall of said neck through the upper bearing surface 23 and locked on the outer wall of said collar snap.
the neck 3 is disposed in the lower housing 25 of greater thickness.
the rim of the neck 3 is disposed under the shoulder 20, the sleeve 10 being tight-tight on the inner wall of said collar by through the lower bearing 22 and locked on the outer wall of said collar snap.
the tightening of one of the outer bearing surfaces 22, 23 on the inner wall of the neck 3 promotes, by internal deformation of the frame 15, the tight fitting of the inner bearing 21 on the outside of the body 7 of the distribution member 4, in order to further make reliable the sealed assembly of said member on the neck 3 via the sleeve 10.
the outer bearing surfaces 22, 23 may be frustoconical so that their tightness on the inner wall of the neck 3 is made by relative sliding to the interference diameter.
the rim of the neck 3 may be disposed at an axial distance from the radial plate 17 - respectively of the shoulder 20 - in order to ensure tight sealing.
Fixing the dispenser member 4 in the neck 3 can be made in a particularly simple manner and indifferently of the type of neck 3 considered, by introducing the entire dispensing member 4 / sleeve 10 in said collar until locking the outer skirt 11 on the outer wall of said neck and tight fitting of one of the outer surfaces 22, 23 on the inner wall of said neck.
