Description

La présente invention concerne les dispositifs permettant de stocker séparément au moins trois composants, de les mélanger et de les distribuer extemporanément.The present invention relates to devices for storing separately at least three components, mix them and distribute them extemporaneously.

De tels dispositifs sont utiles notamment pour le conditionnement des composants d'une teinture capillaire.Such devices are useful in particular for the packaging of components of a hair dye.

On connaít par le modèle d'utilité allemand 87 00 341 un dispositif comportant un récipient inférieur et un récipient supérieur pouvant tourner l'un par rapport à l'autre. Le récipient inférieur comprend deux chambres coaxiales obturées en partie supérieure par un même bouchon. Le récipient supérieur présente un épaulement qui, lors de la rotation des deux récipients, entraíne le bouchon précité hors de sa position d'obturation, permettant ainsi le mélange des composants.We know from the German utility model 87 00 341 a device comprising a lower container and an upper container rotatable relative to each other. The lower container comprises two coaxial chambers closed at the top by the same plug. The upper container has a shoulder which, when rotation of the two containers, causes the aforementioned plug out of its closed position, thus allowing the mixing of the components.

Un tel dispositif présente une structure relativement complexe se prêtant mal à la réalisation de l'un des deux récipients en verre, quand la nature de l'un des composants l'impose.Such a device has a relatively complex structure which lends itself poorly to the production of one of the two glass containers, when the nature of one of the components require it.

De plus, ce dispositif connu apparaít surdimensionné dans le cas où l'un des trois composants ne représente qu'un faible volume du mélange final, par exemple lorsque ce composant est un parfum.In addition, this known device appears oversized in the event that one of the three components represents only a small volume of the final mixture, for example when this component is a perfume.

Enfin, un tel dispositif ne peut pas être facilement modifié pour stocker quatre composants ou plus.Finally, such a device cannot be easily modified to store four components or more.

La présente invention a pour objet un nouveau dispositif permettant de stocker séparément au moins trois composants, de les mélanger et de distribuer le mélange obtenu extemporanément, qui soit à la fois de fabrication simple, fiable, qui permette si nécessaire d'utiliser un récipient en verre et qui puisse être modifié aisément le cas échéant pour stocker séparément quatre composants ou plus.The present invention relates to a new device for storing separately at least three components, mix them and distribute the mixture obtained extemporaneously, which is at the same time simple, reliable manufacturing, which allows if necessary to use a glass container and which can be changed easily if necessary required to store four or more components separately.

Le dispositif selon l'invention se caractérise par le fait qu'il comporte :

  • un premier récipient comportant un col et contenant un premier composant,
  • un deuxième récipient contenant un deuxième composant et pourvu d'une cheminée servant à l'introduction du col du premier récipient, l'un au moins des premier et second récipients comportant un embout de distribution,
  • un obturateur disposé de manière amovible dans ladite cheminée pour l'obturer avant l'utilisation,
  • un élément intermédiaire disposé dans la cheminée entre ledit obturateur et l'ouverture servant à l'introduction du col, cet élément intermédiaire définissant au moins un compartiment contenant un troisième composant, le col, la cheminée et l'élément intermédiaire étant en outre agencés de telle sorte qu'au terme d'une course en déplacement axial prédéterminée du col dans la cheminée, l'obturateur soit éjecté et les composants puissent se mélanger.
The device according to the invention is characterized in that it comprises:
  • a first container comprising a neck and containing a first component,
  • a second container containing a second component and provided with a chimney serving to introduce the neck of the first container, at least one of the first and second containers comprising a dispensing nozzle,
  • a shutter detachably disposed in said chimney to close it before use,
  • an intermediate element disposed in the chimney between said shutter and the opening used for the introduction of the neck, this intermediate element defining at least one compartment containing a third component, the neck, the chimney and the intermediate element being further arranged such that at the end of a predetermined axial displacement stroke of the neck in the chimney, the shutter is ejected and the components can mix.

Grâce à l'invention, le premier récipient peut présenter une forme relativement simple et être réalisé en verre si cela est nécessaire. De plus, le compartiment contenant le troisième composant peut avoir un volume juste suffisant pour contenir la quantité de produit requise, ce qui permet de réaliser un dispositif compact.Thanks to the invention, the first container can have a relatively shaped simple and be made of glass if necessary. In addition, the compartment containing the third component may have a volume just sufficient to contain the amount of product required, which allows for a compact device.

Dans un mode de réalisation particulier au terme de ladite course axiale prédéterminée, la coupelle est éjectée.In a particular embodiment at the end of said axial stroke predetermined, the cup is ejected.

Toujours dans un mode de réalisation particulier, le dispositif comporte à l'intérieur de la cheminée une lèvre annulaire d'étanchéité apte à s'appliquer de manière étanche sur le col au moins au terme du déplacement axial de ce dernier dans la cheminée, ladite lèvre étant située entre ledit élément intermédiaire et l'ouverture de la cheminée servant à l'introduction du col.Still in a particular embodiment, the device comprises inside the chimney an annular sealing lip capable of being applied so waterproof on the neck at least after the axial displacement of the latter in the chimney, said lip being located between said intermediate element and the opening of the chimney used to introduce the pass.

De préférence, cette lèvre est orientée vers l'intérieur du second récipient et l'élément intermédiaire prend appui initialement sur celle-ci.Preferably, this lip is oriented towards the inside of the second container and the intermediate element is initially supported thereon.

Dans un exemple de réalisation particulier de l'invention, l'élément intermédiaire est constitué par une coupelle.In a particular embodiment of the invention, the element intermediate is constituted by a cup.

De préférence, cette coupelle prend appui initialement par un rebord, à sa périphérie, sur un épaulement intérieur de la cheminée.Preferably, this cup is initially supported by a rim, at its periphery, on an interior shoulder of the chimney.

Avantageusement, l'obturateur d'une part comporte à sa périphérie une couronne conformée pour s'engager de manière étanche sur la cheminée et d'autre part repose initialement par sa face inférieure sur le rebord précité.Advantageously, the shutter on the one hand comprises at its periphery a crown shaped to engage tightly on the chimney and on the other hand rests initially by its lower face on the abovementioned rim.

De préférence, cette couronne définit une gorge ouverte vers le bas, destinée à coiffer l'extrémité libre de la cheminée.Preferably, this crown defines a groove open downwards, intended to cap the free end of the chimney.

Dans une réalisation particulière, l'élément intermédiaire comporte au moins en son centre une portée sur laquelle prend appui l'obturateur initialement.In a particular embodiment, the intermediate element comprises at least in its center a range on which the shutter rests initially.

Cette portée peut être constituée par un picot central ou en variante par une ou plusieurs cloisons définissant avec l'obturateur des compartiments destinés à contenir séparément des composants respectifs.This litter can be constituted by a central pin or alternatively by one or several partitions defining with the shutter compartments intended to contain separately from the respective components.

Ainsi, on peut aisément stocker quatre composants ou plus en ne modifiant que la coupelle, par ajout de cloisons pour réaliser des compartiments supplémentaires.So you can easily store four or more components by only modifying the cup, by adding partitions to make additional compartments.

De préférence, le col et la cheminée sont aptes à coopérer par vissage.Preferably, the neck and the chimney are able to cooperate by screwing.

Dans un exemple de réalisation particulier, le deuxième récipient comporte un corps pourvu à sa base d'une jupe tubulaire et la cheminée est portée par une pièce de connexion fixée sur ledit corps.In a particular embodiment, the second container has a body provided at its base with a tubular skirt and the chimney is carried by a piece of connection fixed on said body.

L'invention sera mieux comprise à la lecture de la description détaillée qui va suivre, d'un exemple de réalisation non limitatif, et à l'examen du dessin annexé sur lequel :

  • la figure 1 est une vue en élévation d'un dispositif conforme à un exemple de mise en oeuvre de l'invention, le col du récipient inférieur étant engagé dans la cheminée du récipient supérieur,
  • la figure 2 est une vue éclatée du dispositif de la figure 1,
  • la figure 3 est une vue schématique et partielle, en coupe axiale, de la partie inférieure du dispositif de la figure 1, avant l'utilisation,
  • la figure 4 illustre la mise en communication du compartiment intermédiaire et du récipient supérieur,
  • la figure 5 illustre la mise en communication des récipients supérieur et inférieur, et
  • les figures 6 à 9 illustrent deux variantes de réalisation du compartiment intermédiaire.
The invention will be better understood on reading the detailed description which follows, of a nonlimiting exemplary embodiment, and on examining the appended drawing in which:
  • FIG. 1 is an elevation view of a device according to an exemplary implementation of the invention, the neck of the lower container being engaged in the chimney of the upper container,
  • FIG. 2 is an exploded view of the device of FIG. 1,
  • FIG. 3 is a schematic and partial view, in axial section, of the lower part of the device of FIG. 1, before use,
  • FIG. 4 illustrates the communication between the intermediate compartment and the upper container,
  • FIG. 5 illustrates the placing in communication of the upper and lower containers, and
  • Figures 6 to 9 illustrate two alternative embodiments of the intermediate compartment.

Le dispositif 1 représenté sur la figure 1 comporte un récipient supérieur 2 et un récipient inférieur 3 permettant de stocker séparément deux composants respectifs A et B et de les mélanger au moment de l'utilisation.The device 1 shown in FIG. 1 comprises an upper container 2 and a lower container 3 allowing two respective components A to be stored separately and B and mix them at the time of use.

Le récipient supérieur 2 contient, dans l'exemple de réalisation décrit, un oxydant liquide et le récipient inférieur 3 un colorant liquide, le mélange obtenu étant destiné à la teinture des cheveux.The upper container 2 contains, in the embodiment described, a liquid oxidant and the lower container 3 a liquid dye, the mixture obtained being intended for hair dyeing.

Comme on peut le voir sur la figure 2, le corps 2a du récipient supérieur 2, réalisé en matière plastique, est muni à son extrémité haute d'un embout 4 pourvu d'une extrémité sécable 5 et comporte à sa partie basse une jupe tubulaire 6 d'axe X, munie extérieurement d'un bourrelet annulaire 7 permettant la fixation d'une pièce de connexion 8.As can be seen in Figure 2, the body 2 has the upper container 2, made of plastic, is provided at its upper end a nozzle 4 provided with a breakable end 5 and has at its lower portion a skirt tubular 6 of axis X, externally provided with an annular bead 7 allowing the fixing of a connection piece 8.

Cette dernière comporte une jupe extérieure 9 se positionnant dans le prolongement de la paroi extérieure du corps du récipient 2 et une cheminée intérieure 10 s'étendant à l'intérieur du corps 2a, comme on peut le voir sur la figure 3.The latter has an outer skirt 9 positioned in the extension of the outer wall of the body of the container 2 and an inner chimney 10 extending inside the body 2 a , as can be seen in FIG. 3.

La jupe 9 et la cheminée 10 se raccordent par une paroi 11 définissant une gorge annulaire 12 ouverte vers le haut, destinée à recevoir la jupe 6 du récipient 2.The skirt 9 and the chimney 10 are connected by a wall 11 defining a annular groove 12 open upwards, intended to receive the skirt 6 of the container 2.

Cette gorge 12 est pourvue de reliefs d'accrochage 13 destinés à coopérer avec le bourrelet annulaire 7 pour assurer la fixation de la pièce de connexion 8 sur le récipient 2, avec ajustement étanche dans cette dernière de la jupe 6.This groove 12 is provided with attachment reliefs 13 intended to cooperate with the annular bead 7 for fixing the connection piece 8 to the container 2, with tight fit in the latter of the skirt 6.

Le récipient inférieur 3 comporte un col fileté 23 sur lequel est vissé un bouchon 14 destiné à être retiré au moment de l'utilisation.The lower container 3 has a threaded neck 23 on which is screwed a plug 14 intended to be removed at the time of use.

La cheminée 10 comporte à sa base et sur sa surface intérieure des rainures hélicoïdales 21 et le récipient 3 comporte des ergots 22 destinés à coopérer avec ces rainures hélicoïdales 21, de telle manière que la rotation du récipient inférieur 3 relativement au récipient supérieur 2, dans un sens déterminé, provoque un déplacement vers le haut du col 23 selon l'axe X.The chimney 10 has at its base and on its inner surface grooves helical 21 and the container 3 comprises lugs 22 intended to cooperate with these helical grooves 21, such that the rotation of the lower container 3 relative to the upper container 2, in a determined direction, causes a displacement up the neck 23 along the X axis.

Le col 23 est dépourvu de filetage sur une certaine distance à partir de son extrémité supérieure 25 et présente ainsi une surface 26 cylindrique de révolution autour de l'axe X, comme on peut le voir sur la figure 3.The neck 23 is devoid of thread for a certain distance from its upper end 25 and thus has a cylindrical surface 26 of revolution around of the X axis, as can be seen in Figure 3.

Une lèvre annulaire d'étanchéité 27 dirigée vers le haut forme saillie à l'intérieur de la cheminée 10 pour s'appliquer de manière étanche sur cette surface cylindrique lorsque les récipients supérieur 2 et inférieur 3 entrent en communication, comme cela sera précisé dans la suite.An upwardly directed annular sealing lip 27 projects the interior of the chimney 10 to be applied in a sealed manner on this surface cylindrical when the upper 2 and lower 3 containers enter into communication, as will be explained below.

Une coupelle 29, dont la concavité est dirigée vers l'intérieur du récipient supérieur 2, est engagée dans la cheminée 10, laquelle comporte en partie supérieure un épaulement intérieur 28 sur lequel repose la coupelle 29 par un rebord périphérique 30.A cup 29, the concavity of which is directed towards the interior of the container upper 2, is engaged in the chimney 10, which comprises in the upper part a inner shoulder 28 on which the cup 29 rests by a peripheral rim 30.

Dans l'exemple de réalisation décrit, la coupelle 29 vient d'une part en appui par sa face inférieure 31 sur l'extrémité libre de la lèvre d'étanchéité 27 et d'autre part s'ajuste de manière étanche, par sa paroi latérale, à l'intérieur de la cheminée 10. In the embodiment described, the cup 29 comes to rest on the one hand by its underside 31 on the free end of the sealing lip 27 and on the other hand fits tightly, by its side wall, inside the chimney 10.

La coupelle 29 est remplie par un troisième composant C, par exemple un parfum liquide ou une poudre, ce composant C ne pouvant être stocké mélangé à l'un des composants A ou B sans se dégrader au cours du temps.The cup 29 is filled with a third component C, for example a liquid perfume or powder, this component C cannot be stored mixed with one components A or B without degrading over time.

Un obturateur 32 est fixé de manière amovible sur l'extrémité libre de la cheminée 10 et définit avec la coupelle 29 un compartiment intermédiaire contenant le composant C.A shutter 32 is removably attached to the free end of the chimney 10 and defines with the cup 29 an intermediate compartment containing the component C.

L'obturateur 32 s'applique par sa face inférieure sur le rebord 30 de la coupelle 29 et comporte à sa périphérie une couronne 33 définissant une gorge 45 dirigée vers le bas, s'engageant de manière étanche sur la cheminée 10 et conformée pour s'encliqueter sur un bourrelet extérieur 34 de celle-ci.The shutter 32 is applied by its lower face to the rim 30 of the cup 29 and has at its periphery a ring 33 defining a groove 45 directed towards the low, sealingly engaging the chimney 10 and shaped to snap on an outer bead 34 thereof.

La pièce de connexion 8 est fixée sur le corps 2a alors que la coupelle 29 et l'obturateur 32 sont déjà en place.The connecting piece 8 is fixed to the body 2 a while the cup 29 and the shutter 32 are already in place.

Pour utiliser le dispositif 1, l'utilisateur commence par dévisser le bouchon 14 puis engage le col 23 dans la cheminée 10.To use the device 1, the user begins by unscrewing the plug 14 then engages the neck 23 in the chimney 10.

Au terme d'une certaine course en rotation du récipient inférieur 3, l'extrémité supérieure 25 du col 23 atteint la lèvre 27 puis vient en appui contre la face inférieure 31 de la coupelle 29, de sorte que cette dernière est entraínée par la suite en déplacement selon l'axe X en direction de l'intérieur du récipient 2, c'est-à-dire vers le haut sur la figure 4.At the end of a certain rotational stroke of the lower container 3, the end upper 25 of the neck 23 reaches the lip 27 then comes to bear against the lower face 31 of the cup 29, so that the latter is subsequently driven by displacement along the X axis towards the interior of the container 2, that is to say towards the top in Figure 4.

La poursuite du déplacement du col 23 provoque l'éjection de l'obturateur 32, permettant ainsi aux composants A et C de se mélanger.Continued movement of the neck 23 causes the shutter 32 to be ejected, thus allowing components A and C to mix.

Ensuite, la coupelle 29 est repoussée au-delà de l'épaulement 28. Le diamètre intérieur de la cheminée 10 au-dessus de l'épaulement 28 étant supérieur au diamètre extérieur de la paroi latérale de la coupelle 29, cette dernière cesse d'obturer la cheminée 10, permettant le mélange des composants A et B, comme illustré sur la figure 5.Then, the cup 29 is pushed back beyond the shoulder 28. The diameter inside the chimney 10 above the shoulder 28 being greater than the diameter outside of the side wall of the cup 29, the latter ceases to close off the chimney 10, allowing the mixing of components A and B, as illustrated in FIG. 5.

On notera que la lèvre 27 s'applique de façon étanche sur la surface cylindrique 26 du col 23.It will be noted that the lip 27 is applied in a sealed manner on the cylindrical surface 26 of pass 23.

On a représenté sur la figure 6 une variante de réalisation dans laquelle la coupelle 29 est remplacée par une coupelle 29' comportant en son centre une portée 40, contre laquelle repose initialement la face inférieure de l'obturateur 32.FIG. 6 shows an alternative embodiment in which the cup 29 is replaced by a cup 29 ′ having in its center a bearing 40, against which initially rests the underside of the shutter 32.

Cette portée 40 est constituée par un picot central, comme on peut le voir sur la figure 7. This bearing 40 is constituted by a central pin, as can be seen on the figure 7.

Ainsi, l'obturateur 32 et la coupelle 29' ont ici une surface de contact plus importante que dans le cas de l'exemple de réalisation décrit précédemment, ce qui améliore la répartition des efforts en vue de l'éjection de l'obturateur 32.Thus, the shutter 32 and the cup 29 'here have a more contact surface. important than in the case of the embodiment described above, which improves the distribution of forces with a view to ejecting the shutter 32.

La variante de réalisation de la figure 8 diffère des précédentes par le fait que la coupelle 29 est remplacée par une coupelle 29" divisée en deux compartiments au moyen d'une cloison diamétrale 41, permettant ainsi de stocker séparément, à la place du composant C, deux composants D et E.The variant embodiment of FIG. 8 differs from the previous ones in that the cup 29 is replaced by a cup 29 "divided into two compartments at by means of a diametrical partition 41, thus making it possible to store separately, instead of component C, two components D and E.

La cloison 41 assure par ailleurs, tout comme le picot 40, une meilleure répartition des efforts en vue de l'éjection de l'obturateur 32.The partition 41 also ensures, like the pin 40, a better distribution of forces with a view to ejecting the shutter 32.

Dans les trois exemples de réalisation qui viennent d'être décrits, la hauteur h1 des surfaces de la coupelle et de la cheminée qui sont en contact est légèrement supérieure à la hauteur h2 des surfaces de l'obturateur et de la cheminée qui sont en contact, comme on peut le voir sur la figure 6, de sorte que lors du déplacement axial du col 23 dans la cheminée 10, l'obturateur 32 est éjecté alors que la coupelle 29 obture encore la cheminée, tel qu'illustré sur la figure 4.In the three embodiments which have just been described, the height h 1 of the surfaces of the cup and of the chimney which are in contact is slightly greater than the height h 2 of the surfaces of the shutter and of the chimney which are in contact, as can be seen in Figure 6, so that during the axial displacement of the neck 23 in the chimney 10, the shutter 32 is ejected while the cup 29 still closes the chimney, as illustrated in the figure 4.

Le mélange des composants A et C peut ainsi s'effectuer dans une première étape hors de la présence du composant B, lequel reste contenu dans le récipient inférieur 3.The mixing of components A and C can thus be carried out in a first step without the presence of component B, which remains contained in the container lower 3.

Bien entendu, on ne sort pas du cadre de la présente invention en diminuant la hauteur h1 pour la rendre inférieure ou égale à la hauteur h2 et faire en sorte que l'obturateur 32 et la coupelle se trouvent éjectés simultanément, le mélange des trois composants A, B et C, ou des quatre composants A, B, D et E dans le cadre de l'exemple de réalisation des figures 8 et 9, intervenant alors en une seule étape au lieu de deux comme décrit plus haut.Of course, it is not going beyond the scope of the present invention by reducing the height h 1 to make it less than or equal to the height h 2 and ensuring that the shutter 32 and the cup are ejected simultaneously, the mixture of three components A, B and C, or of the four components A, B, D and E in the context of the exemplary embodiment of FIGS. 8 and 9, then intervening in a single step instead of two as described above.

Dans les exemples de réalisation décrits, le récipient inférieur 3 est constitué par un flacon en verre mais pourrait bien entendu, en variante, être réalisé en matière plastique.In the exemplary embodiments described, the lower container 3 is constituted by a glass bottle but could of course, as a variant, be made of material plastic.

Dans les exemples de réalisation décrits, la coupelle est éjectée. En variante, la coupelle pourrait être réalisée avec des passages permettant aux composants contenus dans les compartiments supérieur et inférieur de se mélanger sans que la coupelle ait à être éjectée.In the embodiments described, the cup is ejected. Alternatively, the cup could be made with passages allowing the components contained in the upper and lower compartments to mix without the cup having to be ejected.

Dans les exemples de réalisation décrits, le ou les composants contenus dans la coupelle sont empêchés de quitter cette dernière, avant l'utilisation, par l'obturateur. En variante, on pourrait rapporter sur la coupelle une membrane réalisée dans un matériau soluble dans le composant contenu dans le compartiment supérieur, le ou les composants seraient alors empêchés de quitter la coupelle par ladite membrane et non par l'obturateur.In the embodiments described, the component or components contained in the cup are prevented from leaving the latter, before use, by the shutter. In variant, a membrane made of a material could be attached to the cup soluble in the component contained in the upper compartment, the components would then be prevented from leaving the cup by said membrane and not by the shutter.
