Benefits of technology

[0009] An object of the present invention is to remedy the above-mentioned problem of the prior art by defining a device having a fixing ring and a band and in which the band is pre-positioned on the ring and / or the band is permanently fixed to the ring more easily and more securely. In order to achieve these objects, the present invention proposes for the outside wall of the ring to be provided with at least one recess and for the inside wall of the band to be provided with at least one projecting profile serving to come into engagement in the recess in the ring. Thus, the band is genuinely snap-fastened to the ring.

Problems solved by technology

Once the band is in the final fitted position on the ring, another problem arises related to fixing the band stably to the ring.

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...
