Description

L'invention concerne un flacon de distribution d'un produit fluide, notamment liquide, par exemple d'un produit cosmétique de soin, de maquillage ou de parfumage, ou d'un produit pharmaceutique.The invention relates to a dispensing bottle of a fluid product, in particular a liquid product, for example a cosmetic care, make-up or perfume product, or a pharmaceutical product.

Le flacon de distribution comprend un corps dans lequel un réservoir de conditionnement du produit est formé, ainsi qu'un dispositif de prélèvement du produit conditionné qui est monté de façon étanche sur ledit corps. En particulier, le dispositif de prélèvement peut comprendre une pompe à actionnement manuel qui est alimentée en produit conditionné, ladite pompe étant agencée pour distribuer le produit sous pression, par exemple sous la forme d'un aérosol.The dispensing bottle comprises a body in which a product conditioning tank is formed, as well as a device for removing the packaged product which is sealingly mounted on said body. In particular, the sampling device may comprise a manually operated pump which is fed with conditioned product, said pump being arranged to distribute the product under pressure, for example in the form of an aerosol.

Le dispositif de prélèvement comprend des moyens d'alimentation en produit conditionné, par exemple formés d'un tube plongeur, qui présentent un orifice amont disposé dans le réservoir pour permettre le prélèvement du produit à distribuer.The sampling device comprises conditioned product supply means, for example formed of a dip tube, which have an upstream orifice disposed in the reservoir to allow the sampling of the product to be dispensed.

Dans un exemple d'application, les flacons selon l'invention permettent la distribution d'échantillons de produit, notamment pour un volume de produit conditionné dans le réservoir qui est compris entre 1 et 10 ml. En particulier, les échantillons ainsi distribués peuvent permettre à un client de tester le produit, les flacons étant alors qualifiés de flacons testeurs d'échantillons. En variante, les flacons peuvent être dits « de sac » en ce qu'ils permettent de transporter facilement un volume réduit de produit, par opposition à des flacons de contenance supérieure qui sont en général lourds et encombrants car cossus.In an exemplary application, the bottles according to the invention allow the distribution of product samples, in particular for a volume of packaged product in the reservoir which is between 1 and 10 ml. In particular, the samples thus distributed can allow a customer to test the product, the bottles then being called sample vials. Alternatively, the bottles can be called "bag" in that they can easily transport a reduced volume of product, as opposed to bottles of higher capacity which are usually heavy and bulky because affluent.

Dans ces applications, par exemple pour des raisons logistiques, de praticité ou encore environnementales de recyclage, il peut être souhaitable de pouvoir recharger le réservoir en produit à partir d'une source dudit produit. En effet, il est peu pratique pour un utilisateur d'effectuer le remplissage du réservoir à l'aide d'un petit entonnoir et peu écologique de jeter un flacon vide pour le remplacer par un plein constituant recharge.In these applications, for example for logistical, practical or environmental recycling reasons, it may be desirable to be able to recharge the reservoir product from a source of said product. Indeed, it is impractical for a user to fill the tank with a small funnel and unecological to discard an empty bottle to replace it with a full constituent refill.

Des flacons de distribution sont déjà proposés à la vente, dans lesquels le corps est équipé d'une soupape de remplissage du réservoir qui est agencée pour permettre la mise en communication d'une source de produit avec ledit réservoir. En particulier, la soupape peut s'ouvrir par appui sur le gicleur de la pompe d'un flacon source qu'il convient d'actionner à plusieurs reprises pour réaliser le remplissage, ce qui est un geste peu intuitif pour l'utilisateur.Dispensing bottles are already offered for sale, in which the body is equipped with a tank filling valve which is arranged to allow the communication of a product source with said reservoir. In particular, the valve can be opened by pressing the nozzle of the pump of a source bottle that must be actuated several times to perform the filling, which is an unintuitive gesture for the user.

On a proposé des flacons de distribution dont le réservoir est vide de produit et présente une dépression d'air qui est agencée pour pouvoir réaliser ultérieurement le remplissage initial du réservoir en produit par mise en communication étanche d'une source de produit avec ledit réservoir par l'intermédiaire d'une soupape de sorte que ladite dépression induise le remplissage dudit réservoir par aspiration du produit contenu dans ladite source.Dispensing vials whose reservoir is empty of product have been proposed and have an air depression which is arranged in order to be able subsequently to perform the initial filling of the reservoir with product by placing in sealed communication a source of product with said reservoir by via a valve so that said depression induces the filling of said reservoir by suction of the product contained in said source.

Toutefois, se pose le problème de la conservation dans le temps de la dépression d'air dans le réservoir. En effet, les dispositifs de prélèvement ne sont jamais parfaitement étanches aux micro-fuites d'air car ils comprennent de nombreuses zones d'étanchéité par serrage et sont composés de matières plastiques ou élastomériques qui, dans le temps, s'avèrent légèrement poreuses à l'air.However, there is the problem of the conservation in time of the air depression in the tank. Indeed, the sampling devices are never perfectly tight micro-air leaks because they include many sealing areas by clamping and are composed of plastic or elastomeric materials which, over time, are slightly porous to the air.

L'invention vise à perfectionner l'art antérieur en proposant notamment un flacon de distribution dans lequel une dépression d'air dans le réservoir peut être conservée lors du stockage du flacon avant son remplissage initial, de sorte à fiabiliser la capacité de remplissage par aspiration dudit réservoir par mise en communication étanche d'une source de produit avec ledit réservoir.The invention aims to improve the prior art by proposing in particular a dispensing bottle in which an air depression in the reservoir can be preserved during storage of the bottle before its initial filling, so as to make reliable the filling capacity by suction said tank by sealing communication a source of product with said tank.

A cet effet, l'invention propose un flacon de distribution d'un produit fluide comprenant un corps dans lequel un réservoir destiné au conditionnement dudit produit est formé, ledit flacon comprenant en outre un dispositif de prélèvement dudit produit conditionné qui est monté de façon étanche sur ledit corps, ledit dispositif de prélèvement comprenant des moyens d'alimentation en produit conditionné qui présentent un orifice amont disposé dans le réservoir, ledit corps étant équipé d'une soupape de remplissage dudit réservoir qui est agencée pour permettre la mise en communication d'une source de produit avec ledit réservoir, le réservoir étant vide de produit et présentant une dépression d'air qui est agencée pour pouvoir réaliser le remplissage ultérieur du réservoir en produit par mise en communication étanche d'une source de produit avec ledit réservoir par l'intermédiaire de la soupape de sorte que ladite dépression induise le remplissage dudit réservoir par aspiration du produit contenu dans ladite source, ledit flacon comprenant en outre une enveloppe montée dans le réservoir pour compartimenter ledit réservoir en un espace interne dans lequel l'orifice amont est disposé et un espace externe, ladite soupape comprenant des moyens de rupture de ladite enveloppe lors du remplissage du réservoir afin de mettre en communication les espaces externe et interne.For this purpose, the invention proposes a dispensing bottle of a fluid product comprising a body in which a reservoir for packaging said product is formed, said bottle further comprising a device for sampling said packaged product which is mounted in a sealed manner on said body, said sampling device comprising means for supplying product conditioning having an upstream orifice disposed in the reservoir, said body being equipped with a filling valve of said reservoir which is arranged to allow the communication of a source of product with said reservoir, the reservoir being empty of product and having an air depression which is arranged to be able to carry out the subsequent filling of the reservoir with product by sealed communication of a source of product with said reservoir via the valve so that said depression induces the filling of said reservoir by suction of the product contained in said source, said bottle further comprising an envelope mounted in the reservoir for compartmentalizing said reservoir in an internal space in which the upstream orifice is disposed and an external space, said valve comprising means for breaking said envelope when filling the tank to connect the spaces external and internal.

Le corps 1 peut être monobloc, par exemple réalisé par injection-soufflage ou extrusion-soufflage, ou en plusieurs parties injectées puis assemblées, par exemple par soudure ultra-sons ou par friction rotative, en matière plastique rigide, en métal, par exemple en aluminium, ou en verre. En variante non représentée, le corps 1 peut être souple, notamment déformable lors de la distribution du produit.In the embodiments shown, the body 1 is rigid, especially having sufficient rigidity so that the volume of the reservoir 2 remains substantially constant. The body 1 may be in one piece, for example produced by injection-blow molding or extrusion-blow molding, or in several parts injected and then assembled, for example by ultrasonic welding or by rotary friction, made of rigid plastic material, of metal, for example made of aluminum, or glass. In variant not shown, the body 1 can be flexible, especially deformable during the distribution of the product.

Le flacon comprend un dispositif de prélèvement 3 du produit conditionné qui est monté de façon étanche sur le corps 1, notamment dans l'ouverture supérieure dudit corps. Le dispositif de prélèvement 3 est équipé d'un bouton poussoir 4 qui est pourvu d'un orifice de distribution 5 dudit produit, ledit bouton poussoir étant déplaçable réversiblement sur une course d'actionnement dudit dispositif entre une position au repos et une position enfoncée dans laquelle l'orifice de distribution 5 est en communication avec le réservoir 2 par l'intermédiaire dudit dispositif.The bottle comprises a sampling device 3 of the packaged product which is sealingly mounted on the body 1, in particular in the upper opening of said body. The sampling device 3 is equipped with a push button 4 which is provided with a dispensing orifice 5 of said product, said push button being reversibly movable over an actuating stroke of said device between a rest position and a depressed position in which the dispensing orifice 5 is in communication with the reservoir 2 via said device.

Le dispositif de prélèvement 3 comprend des moyens d'alimentation en produit conditionné qui, sur les figures, comprennent un tube plongeur 6 disposé dans le réservoir 2, ledit tube présentant un orifice amont 6a disposé dans le réservoir 2. Par ailleurs, le tube plongeur 6 présente un orifice aval équipé d'un clapet 7 d'entrée du produit dans le dispositif de prélèvement 3.The sampling device 3 comprises means for supplying the packaged product which, in the figures, comprises a dip tube 6 disposed in the tank 2, said tube having an upstream orifice 6a disposed in the tank 2. Furthermore, the dip tube 6 has a downstream orifice equipped with a valve 7 for entering the product in the sampling device 3.

Dans les modes de réalisation représentés, le dispositif de prélèvement comprend une pompe 3 de distribution actionnée manuellement au moyen d'un bouton poussoir 4 qui est alimenté avec le produit sous pression en vue de sa distribution. Le bouton poussoir 4 est monté sur le gicleur 8 de la pompe 3 en mettant l'orifice de distribution 5 en communication avec un canal de sortie 8a dudit gicleur.In the embodiments shown, the sampling device comprises a dispensing pump 3 manually operated by means of a push button 4 which is fed with the product under pressure for distribution. The push button 4 is mounted on the nozzle 8 of the pump 3 in putting the dispensing orifice 5 in communication with an outlet channel 8a of said nozzle.

La pompe 3 comprend également un piston 9 monté autour du gicleur 8 pour délimiter une chambre de dosage 10, ledit gicleur étant déplaçable réversiblement sur une course de distribution - respectivement d'aspiration - dans laquelle le piston 9 ouvre - respectivement ferme - la communication entre le canal de sortie 8a et la chambre de dosage 10.The pump 3 also comprises a piston 9 mounted around the nozzle 8 to delimit a metering chamber 10, said nozzle being reversibly movable over a distribution stroke - suction respectively - in which the piston 9 opens - respectively closes - the communication between the outlet channel 8a and the metering chamber 10.

Le bouton poussoir 4 comprend une zone supérieure permettant à l'utilisateur d'exercer un appui digital sur ledit bouton poussoir afin de pouvoir déplacer le gicleur 8 sur sa course de distribution jusqu'à une position enfoncée dudit bouton poussoir, le retour du bouton poussoir 4 en position de repos sur la course d'aspiration du gicleur 8 étant classiquement réalisé par un ressort 11.The push button 4 comprises an upper zone allowing the user to exert a digital support on said push button in order to be able to move the nozzle 8 on its dispensing stroke to a depressed position of said push button, the return of the push button 4 in the rest position on the suction stroke of the nozzle 8 being conventionally realized by a spring 11.

Le bouton poussoir 4 est équipé d'une buse de pulvérisation 12 qui est agencée pour distribuer radialement un aérosol du produit au travers de l'orifice de distribution 5. Toutefois, l'invention n'est pas limitée à un mode particulier de distribution du produit. En particulier, notamment pour un embout nasal de pulvérisation, le bouton poussoir 4 peut permettre une distribution axiale du produit et un autre type de dispositif de prélèvement 3 peut être envisagé.The push button 4 is equipped with a spray nozzle 12 which is arranged to radially distribute an aerosol of the product through the dispensing orifice 5. However, the invention is not limited to a particular mode of dispensing the dispenser. product. In particular, especially for a nasal spraying nozzle, the push button 4 may allow axial distribution of the product and another type of sampling device 3 may be envisaged.

Le corps 1 du flacon est équipé d'une soupape 13 de remplissage du réservoir 2 qui est agencée pour permettre la mise en communication d'une source de produit avec ledit réservoir. La source de produit peut comprendre un réservoir source sur lequel est disposé un tube de sortie, le remplissage en produit du réservoir 2 étant réalisé par montage dudit tube en appui étanche sur la soupape 13 qui est agencée pour s'ouvrir de façon réversible.The body 1 of the bottle is equipped with a valve 13 for filling the reservoir 2 which is arranged to allow the communication of a source of product with said reservoir. The source of the product may comprise a source reservoir on which an outlet tube is arranged, the product filling of the reservoir 2 being carried out by mounting said tube in sealed support on the valve 13 which is arranged to open reversibly.

En particulier, on peut utiliser en tant que source de produit un flacon nourrice de contenance supérieure, ledit flacon étant équipé d'une pompe dont le bouton poussoir est retiré pour permettre la disposition du gicleur en appui étanche sur la soupape 13. En effet, outre l'ouverture de la soupape 13, l'appui étanche provoque l'ouverture de la pompe afin de permettre le passage du produit de remplissage au travers d'elle.In particular, it is possible to use as a product source a nipple of higher capacity, said bottle being equipped with a pump whose push button is removed to allow the arrangement of the nozzle in sealing engagement with the valve 13. in addition to the opening of the valve 13, the waterproof support causes the pump to open in order to allow the filler to pass through it.

Selon une autre réalisation, le réservoir source est formé à l'intérieur d'une poche souple qui peut être remplie de produit sans air ni gaz pour la bonne conservation dudit produit. Le transfert du produit dans le réservoir 2 est alors possible dans toutes les positions et la poche souple ne peut pas être détournée de son rôle de source puisque sans gaz propulseur ni pression interne, ni bouton poussoir pour actionner une éventuelle pompe ou valve associée au tube de sortie.In another embodiment, the source reservoir is formed inside a flexible bag which can be filled with product without air or gas for the proper preservation of said product. The transfer of the product into the tank 2 is then possible in all positions and the flexible bag can not be diverted from its source role since no propellant or internal pressure, or push button to actuate a possible pump or valve associated with the tube Release.

Dans les modes de réalisation représentés, la soupape 13 de remplissage est disposée sur l'extrémité inférieure du corps 1, de sorte notamment à remplir le réservoir 2 par le fond du flacon, ce qui correspond à un geste intuitif.In the embodiments shown, the filling valve 13 is disposed on the lower end of the body 1, so in particular to fill the tank 2 by the bottom of the bottle, which corresponds to an intuitive gesture.

Pour ce faire, l'extrémité inférieure du corps 1 présente un orifice 14 de communication avec le réservoir 2 et la soupape 13 comprend un gicleur 15 qui est mobile entre une position stable de fermeture étanche de l'orifice 14 du réservoir et une position contrainte de remplissage dudit réservoir par ouverture dudit orifice.To do this, the lower end of the body 1 has an orifice 14 for communication with the reservoir 2 and the valve 13 comprises a nozzle 15 which is movable between a stable position for sealing the orifice 14 of the reservoir and a constrained position filling said tank by opening said orifice.

En relation avec les figures, le gicleur 15 est pourvu d'un canal interne 16, ledit gicleur étant monté en translation dans une bague 17 qui est fixée de façon étanche dans une cage 18 formée sous le corps 1. La soupape 13 comprend en outre un ressort 19 de rappel du gicleur 15 en position de fermeture et deux joints respectivement externe 20 et interne 21 pour étanchéifier le montage du gicleur 15 dans la bague 17 et la mise en communication de la source de produit sur ledit gicleur.In connection with the figures, the nozzle 15 is provided with an internal channel 16, said nozzle being mounted in translation in a ring 17 which is sealed in a cage 18 formed under the body 1. The valve 13 further comprises a spring 19 for returning the nozzle 15 in the closed position and two respectively external 20 and internal 21 seals for sealing the mounting of the nozzle 15 in the ring 17 and the communication of the product source on said nozzle.

Le réservoir 2 est vide de produit et présente une dépression d'air qui est agencée pour pouvoir réaliser le remplissage ultérieur dudit réservoir en produit par mise en communication étanche de la source de produit avec ledit réservoir par l'intermédiaire de la soupape 13 de sorte que ladite dépression induise le remplissage dudit réservoir par aspiration du produit contenu dans ladite source. En particulier, la dépression d'air peut être de l'ordre de - 980 hPa.The tank 2 is empty of product and has an air vacuum which is arranged to be able to carry out the subsequent filling of said tank product by sealing communication of the product source with said tank via the valve 13 so that said depression induces the filling said reservoir by suction of the product contained in said source. In particular, the air depression can be of the order of -980 hPa.

Le dispositif de prélèvement 3 peut être du type sans reprise d'air dans le réservoir 2 de conditionnement en compensation du volume de produit distribué pour permettre des remplissages ultérieurs ou avec reprise d'air pour limiter l'utilisation du flacon à un seul remplissage. Dans les modes de réalisation représentés, la pompe 3 présente un trou d'évent 22 qui est agencé pour permettre de compenser le volume de produit prélevé dans le réservoir 2 par de l'air.The sampling device 3 may be of the type without air intake in the tank 2 of conditioning in compensation of the volume of product dispensed to allow subsequent refilling or with air intake to limit the use of the vial to a single filling. In the embodiments shown, the pump 3 has a vent hole 22 which is arranged to compensate for the volume of product taken from the tank 2 by air.

Le flacon comprend en outre une enveloppe 23 montée dans le réservoir 2 pour compartimenter ledit réservoir en un espace interne 2a dans lequel l'orifice amont 6a est disposé et un espace externe 2b. Ainsi, lors du stockage et avant le premier remplissage par aspiration, le dispositif de prélèvement 3 n'est en communication qu'avec l'espace interne 2a, ce qui limite à cet espace les éventuelles fuites d'air passant par l'intérieur dudit dispositif, et l'étanchéité de l'espace externe 2b est indépendante de celle du dispositif de prélèvement 3 ce qui permet de la garantir plus facilement.The bottle further comprises an envelope 23 mounted in the reservoir 2 for compartmentalizing said reservoir in an internal space 2a in which the upstream orifice 6a is disposed and an outer space 2b. Thus, during storage and before the first filling by suction, the sampling device 3 is in communication with the internal space 2a, which limits to this space any leakage of air passing through the interior of said device, and the sealing of the outer space 2b is independent of that of the sampling device 3 which allows to guarantee it more easily.

La soupape 13 comprend des moyens de rupture de l'enveloppe 23 lors du remplissage du réservoir 2 afin de mettre en communication les espaces externe 2b et interne 2a. Ainsi, le remplissage de l'ensemble du réservoir 2 peut être réalisé par aspiration et le produit conditionné dans ledit réservoir peut être prélevé par l'intermédiaire de l'orifice amont 6a lors de l'actionnement du dispositif de prélèvement 3.The valve 13 comprises means for breaking the envelope 23 during the filling of the reservoir 2 in order to put in communication the external 2b and internal 2a spaces. Thus, filling of the entire reservoir 2 can be achieved by suction and the product packaged in said reservoir can be taken through the upstream orifice 6a during actuation of the sampling device 3.

De façon avantageuse, l'espace externe 2b peut présenter un volume qui est supérieur à celui de l'espace interne 2a, par exemple de l'ordre de 2 à 5 fois supérieur, de sorte qu'une éventuelle fuite d'air dans l'espace interne 2a puisse être diluée dans l'espace externe 2b lors de la rupture de l'enveloppe 23. Ainsi, même en cas de fuite au niveau du dispositif de prélèvement 3, la capacité de remplissage du réservoir 2 par aspiration n'est que faiblement impactée.Advantageously, the external space 2b may have a volume which is greater than that of the internal space 2a, for example of the order of 2 to 5 times greater, so that a possible air leak in the air internal space 2a can be diluted in the outer space 2b during the rupture of the casing 23. Thus, even in the event of a leak at the sampling device 3, the filling capacity of the reservoir 2 by suction is not only slightly impacted.

En particulier, les espaces interne 2a et externe 2b peuvent présenter chacun une dépression d'air initiale, ladite dépression pouvant être obtenue en assemblant le flacon dans une enceinte sous vide. En variante, notamment lorsque l'espace interne 2a présente un volume négligeable par rapport à celui de l'espace externe 2b, seul ledit espace externe peut présenter une dépression d'air.In particular, the inner 2a and outer 2b spaces may each have an initial air depression, said depression can be obtained by assembling the vial in a vacuum chamber. As a variant, especially when the internal space 2a has a negligible volume relative to that of the external space 2b, only said external space may have an air vacuum.

Dans les modes de réalisation représentés, l'enveloppe 23 présente un col 24 qui est fixé de façon étanche entre le corps 1 et le dispositif de prélèvement 3, ladite enveloppe venant recouvrir le trou d'évent 22 pour que celui-ci soit en communication avec l'espace interne 2a. Par ailleurs, l'enveloppe 23 présente une partie de fond 25 qui est disposée en regard du gicleur 15, ledit gicleur étant saillant dans l'espace externe 2b en position de remplissage pour permettre la rupture dudit fond par disposition dudit gicleur dans ladite position.In the embodiments shown, the envelope 23 has a neck 24 which is sealingly secured between the body 1 and the sampling device 3, said envelope coming to cover the vent hole 22 so that it is in communication with the internal space 2a. Furthermore, the casing 23 has a bottom portion 25 which is disposed facing the nozzle 15, said nozzle being projecting into the outer space 2b in the filling position to allow the rupture of said bottom by disposing said nozzle in said position.

Dans cette réalisation, l'enveloppe 23 entoure complètement le dispositif de prélèvement 3 dans le réservoir 2. En variante, seule une partie du dispositif de prélèvement 3 peut être recouverte par l'enveloppe 23, en particulier seul le tube plongeur 6 ou même uniquement l'orifice amont 6a pour former l'espace interne 2a à l'intérieur du dispositif de prélèvement 3.In this embodiment, the casing 23 completely surrounds the sampling device 3 in the reservoir 2. As a variant, only part of the sampling device 3 can be covered by the casing 23, in particular only the dip tube 6 or even only the upstream orifice 6a to form the internal space 2a inside the sampling device 3.

En relation avec les figures 1, le fond 25 est sécable par interaction avec le gicleur 15, notamment avec l'extrémité distale dudit gicleur qui peut présenter une zone d'appui améliorant sa capacité à découper le fond 25. Par ailleurs, le fond 25 peut présenter des prédécoupes d'une pastille correspondant à la zone d'interaction avec l'extrémité distale du gicleur 15.In relation to figures 1 , the bottom 25 is breakable by interaction with the nozzle 15, in particular with the distal end of said nozzle which may have a bearing zone improving its ability to cut the bottom 25. Furthermore, the bottom 25 may have pre-cuts of a pellet corresponding to the zone of interaction with the distal end of the nozzle 15.

En relation avec les figures 2, le gicleur 15 comprend des moyens de perforation du fond 25 de l'enveloppe 23. Plus précisément, l'extrémité distale du gicleur 15 porte des griffes 26 qui, en position de remplissage, viennent percer le fond 25 afin de mettre en communication les espaces interne 2a et externe 2b lors du remplissage.In relation to figures 2 , the nozzle 15 comprises means for perforating the bottom 25 of the casing 23. More specifically, the distal end of the nozzle 15 carries claws 26 which, in the filling position, pierce the bottom 25 in order to put in communication the internal 2a and external 2b spaces during filling.
