Embodiment Construction

[0029] In all three embodiments, the fixing device of the invention is designed to be fitted permanently to an opening 41 in a fluid reservoir 4. The reservoir may be identical in all of the embodiments of the invention. However, it may also be of different shapes, colors, or appearances. In this example, the opening 41 is formed by a neck 40 which is connected to a shoulder 44 which already forms a portion of a body of the reservoir that serves to contain the fluid. The neck 40 projects from said shoulder 44 and internally defines the opening 41. Advantageously, the neck 40 is symmetrical about an axis of symmetry X. The neck 40 has an inside wall that defines the opening 41. Said inside wall may be cylindrical or else slightly recessed. For example, it may have a narrowed through section below which the inside wall of the neck is recessed to a small extent. The neck also has a top periphery 42 at which a sealing bead 421 may be formed that projects upwards. On its outside wall, th...

Abstract

A fixing device for fixing a dispenser member (3) to an opening (41) in a fluid reservoir (4), said device having an axis of symmetry (X) and comprising a fixing ring (1) provided with means (113) for receiving the dispenser member (3) and with means (12) for fixing to the opening in the reservoir, said ring having a peripheral outside wall (111, 121), and a band (2) mounted on the ring so as to lock the ring on the reservoir opening, said band having an inside wall (21) designed to come into contact with the outside wall of the ring, said fixing device being characterized in that the outside wall of the ring is provided with at least one recess (114) and the inside wall (21) of the band is provided with at least one projecting profile (24) serving to come into engagement in the recess in the ring.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION [0001] This application claims the benefit under 35 U.S.C. §119(e) of pending U.S. provisional patent application Ser. No. 60 / 518,338, filed Nov. 10, 2003, and priority under 35 U.S.C. §119(a)-(d) of French patent application No. FR-03.11097, filed Sep. 22, 2003.TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002] The present invention relates to a fixing device and to a fitting method for fixing a dispenser member such as a pump or a valve to an opening in a fluid reservoir. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] In general, said opening is formed by a neck which projects from a reservoir body serving as a storage volume for storing the fluid. In the context of the present invention, the device has an axis of symmetry and comprises a fixing ring provided with means for receiving the dispenser member and with means for fixing to the opening in the reservoir. In addition, the fixing device further comprises a band designed to surround the ring, the band having a...
