Abstract
Description
Title of the invention: Bottle for liquid or viscous product TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The field of the invention is that of the packaging and distribution of products of liquid or viscous consistency. The present invention relates particularly to the distribution of products in the cosmetic, pharmaceutical, or food sectors. It specifically relates to the distribution of creams, lotions, liquids, or gels (for example, cleansing gels) intended to be applied to the body of a user. These products are typically contained in bottles with caps having a transverse dimension of at most a few centimeters.
[0002] The present invention thus relates to a cap, and a bottle comprising such a cap, for the distribution of a liquid or viscous product, in particular a product intended for bodily application. STATE OF THE ART
[0003] Various cap structures (also called capsules) are already known that allow the distribution of products contained in bottles onto the neck of which such caps are mounted (in practice by screwing or clipping).
[0004] Caps are known in particular which in closed configuration have the appearance of simple screw caps, while in open (dispensing) configuration, an upper part of the cap is moved so as to allow product to exit through an outlet orifice.
[0005] For example, document FR2954754 presents such a cap. This document describes a dispensing cap for a bottle of liquid or viscous product comprising a cap body and a top piece adapted to be moved relative to this body between a closed configuration and a dispensing configuration. The cap, and in particular its top piece, is configured such that the upper wall of the cap is entirely formed by the upper wall of the top piece, and the cap and the top piece have complementary surfaces in the form of a portion of a sphere adapted to slide along each other from the closed configuration to the dispensing configuration and vice versa.While this cap is particularly practical and aesthetically pleasing, it is desirable to develop other caps offering alternative kinematics, specifically in which no moving part of the cap protrudes transversely from the rest of the cap. Furthermore, it is advantageous to design a cap that can be detached from the rest of the bottle to allow for refilling the reservoir once all the product has been used.
[0006] We also know of liquid product bottles which have a cap-like nozzle mounted on their neck and whose rotation allows the activation or deactivation of a pump.
[0007] For example, document EP1954596 discloses a pump bottle comprising a nozzle mounted on a casing, the rotation of which raises or lowers a pump activation button. More specifically, a pump is integral with a cartridge containing the product to be dispensed. This assembly includes at least one protrusion that is positioned within a set of ramp-like guides in the casing. Rotation of the nozzle raises the cartridge and the pump, thereby exposing the pump activation button to the user, who then dispenses the product by pressing the button.
[0008] In a similar manner, document WO2013178927 describes a bottle for dispensing a liquid product using a pipette. Through a similar mechanism, rotating a cap first raises a pipette activator button and then unscrews the cap. With the activator button thus released, the user can press it once to draw the product into the pipette, and then again to dispense the product.
[0009] This type of kinematics, in which the rotation of a nozzle or cap causes a translation of a dispensing element of a bottle, is desirable. However, known devices allow for the activation or deactivation of a pumping mechanism, but they are not suitable for dispensing a product in the absence of such a pumping mechanism. Description of the invention
[0010] The present invention aims to remedy all or part of the disadvantages of the prior art mentioned above.
[0011] For this purpose, the invention relates to a bottle for liquid or viscous product, in which the bottle includes a reservoir having an internal volume adapted to contain the product, the reservoir having a bottom and a neck which are opposed in a so-called longitudinal direction, the bottle further including a cap fixed on the neck of the reservoir.
[0012] The cap comprises a body that rotates relative to the reservoir and a dispensing nozzle that forms a channel between the internal volume of the reservoir and a dispensing orifice. The cap includes a mechanism configured to transform a rotation of the body into a longitudinal translation of the dispensing nozzle, between a lowered position in which a dispensing orifice is closed, and a raised position in which the dispensing orifice is open.
[0013] The cap comprises a sleeve fixed relative to the reservoir, the sleeve comprising a sealing portion which extends longitudinally inside of the neck and which includes an inner surface, the distribution nozzle having a lower part mounted to slide longitudinally in said sealing portion so that a seal is made between the inner surface of the sealing portion of the sleeve and an outer surface of the lower part of the distribution nozzle.
[0014] Such a bottle exhibits a convenient opening mechanism and eliminates any risk of losing a cap. Furthermore, the proposed cap configuration, which includes a sleeve that attaches to the neck of the reservoir and forms a sealing surface inside the neck, ensures a seal for the product within the mechanism and, more generally, at the cap.
[0015] In order to form the mechanism, the body may include a ramp describing a portion of a spiral and the sleeve may include a longitudinal guide, the distribution tip having at least one pin, the pin extending into the longitudinal guide and being engaged in the ramp.
[0016] Alternatively, in order to form said mechanism, the sleeve may include a ramp describing a portion of a spiral and the body may include a longitudinal guide, the distribution tip having at least one pin, the pin extending in the longitudinal guide and being engaged in the ramp.
[0017] The distribution nozzle may comprise two parts mounted freely in rotation, namely the lower part comprising the sealing portion and the pin, and an upper part comprising the distribution orifice, the upper part being blocked in rotation vis-à-vis the sleeve.
[0018] The sealing portion may be slightly conical and may include a deformable thinned end portion which is in contact with the lower part of the dispensing nozzle.
[0019] An annular seal can be interposed between the sealing portion of the sleeve and the lower part of the dispensing nozzle.
[0020] The sealing portion can be straight cylindrical and the lower part of the distribution nozzle can have a cross-section corresponding, within a functional clearance, to that of the sealing portion.
[0021] The lower part of the dispensing nozzle can be cylindrical, for example cylindrical of revolution.
[0022] The sealing portion of the sleeve and the lower part of the dispensing nozzle can be dimensioned so that said lower part of the dispensing nozzle extends longitudinally beyond the sealing portion, towards the reservoir of the bottle, both in the lowered position and in the raised position of the dispensing nozzle.
[0023] The length of the sealing portion is advantageously greater than or equal to 2 mm, preferably greater than or equal to 5 mm.
[0024] The bottle may include a valve at the dispensing orifice.
[0025] The cap can be clipped onto the neck of the bottle.
[0026] Alternatively, the cap can be screwed onto the neck of the bottle.
[0027] The bottle can be configured so that, starting from the lowered position of the dispensing nozzle, a counterclockwise rotation of the body with a first minimum torque causes the dispensing nozzle to move to the raised position and then, the rotation being continued with a second minimum torque, greater than the first minimum torque, the rotation causes the cap to be unscrewed.
[0028] The bottle may contain, for example, a serum, an oil, a milk, a liquid foundation, a shower gel, a shampoo, a low-viscosity cream, a lotion, or a makeup remover. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF FIGURES

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0030] The present description is given as a non-limiting example of an embodiment.
[0031] Fig. 1 represents a bottle according to an embodiment of the invention. Bottle 1 has a conventional appearance and includes a reservoir 2 with an internal volume for holding a liquid or viscous product. As a simple example, the product might have a dynamic viscosity between 0.8 mPa·s and 1000 mPa·s. With such a viscosity, the product can be dispensed without applying pressure to the reservoir. Therefore, reservoir 2 can be rigid. However, as an alternative to a rigid reservoir, a deformable reservoir can be used for dispensing products with higher viscosities. A deformable reservoir is defined as one that a user can deform manually with reasonable effort.
[0032] The reservoir 2 has a bottom 3 and a neck 4 (not visible in [Fig. 1], but visible for example in the cross-sectional view of [Fig. 4]). The bottom 3 and the neck 4 are opposite along a longitudinal direction L. The bottle 1 extends in the example shown along a principal axis parallel to the longitudinal direction L.
[0033] A cap 5 is fixed on the neck 4. The cap 5 has, in the example shown here, the appearance of a classic screw cap.
[0034] The cap 5 has a body 6 which forms its outer side wall. A rotation of the body 6, preferably in the conventional unscrewing direction, i.e. counterclockwise, causes a dispensing nozzle 7 to extend as shown in [Fig. 2]. The dispensing nozzle 7 has a dispensing orifice 8. The dispensing orifice is oriented transversely, i.e. perpendicular to the longitudinal direction L.
[0035] Thus, a rotation of the body 6 causes a longitudinal translation of the dispensing nozzle 7. This rotation allows the dispensing nozzle 7 to move from the lowered position shown in [Fig. 1] to the raised position shown in [Fig. 2]. In the lowered position, the dispensing orifice 8 is closed, in this case by the body 6. The dispensing nozzle 7 then forms the upper surface of the cap 5. In the raised position, the dispensing orifice is uncovered, so that the product contained in the reservoir can be dispensed.
[0036] To do this, the cap 5 includes a mechanism for transforming the rotation of the body 6 into a translation (preferably a simple translation, or possibly a translation combined with a rotation) of the dispensing nozzle.
[0037] Figures 3 and 4 represent a first example of a mechanism enabling this. For better understanding, body 6 is shown in transparency in Figure 3. Figure 4 is a cross-sectional view along plane AA shown in Figure 1.
[0038] The cap 5 has a sleeve 9 which is fixed to the neck 4. In the example shown here, the sleeve 9 is screwed onto a thread 10 of the neck 4. Tightening the sleeve 9 on the collar 4 ensures its rotational locking, a relatively large force being required to cause it to loosen.
[0039] Alternatively, a snap-fit or clip-on fixing can be used, with a means blocking the sleeve from rotating with respect to the neck.
[0040] The distribution nozzle has at least one pin 11, which extends transversely. In the example shown here, the distribution nozzle has two diametrically opposed pins 11 (the sleeve being here generally cylindrical of revolution).
[0041] The pin passes through a longitudinal guide 12, which is a longitudinal slot formed in the sleeve 9. The longitudinal guide 12 has a width 1 which corresponds to that of the pin 11 up to a functional clearance allowing the pin to translate effortlessly in the longitudinal guide 12.
[0042] The end of the pin is further engaged in a ramp 13. The ramp 13 is a groove formed on an internal surface of the body 6, in the thickness of said body 6. The ramp 13 preferably has a width L which corresponds to that of the pin 11 up to a functional clearance allowing the pin to translate effortlessly in the ramp 13.
[0043] The ramp 13 forms a portion of a spiral, for example, over approximately a quarter turn. The ramp 13 nevertheless has two end portions 14 which are flat, that is to say, they extend in a transverse plane (perpendicular to the longitudinal direction). The end portion 14 is more clearly visible in [Fig. 6], which is described below. This end portion 14 is optional and provides some stability to the raised and lowered positions of the dispensing nozzle. It prevents the dispensing nozzle from, for example, being pushed into the body 6 by pressing on it longitudinally: when the pin 11 is in the end portion, a rotation of the body is necessary to engage the pin in the portion of the spiral formed by the ramp 13. Conversely, in the absence of a flat end portion 14, the bottle can be closed by simply pressing on the dispensing nozzle in the longitudinal direction.The bottle can then be closed either conventionally by turning the body 6 of the cap, or with a very simple gesture by pressing on the dispensing nozzle which then causes the body 6 to rotate, which can be useful when the user has wet or slippery hands.
[0044] Thus, the rotation of the body 6 causes (or follows) a relative movement of the pin 11 in the ramp 13, while the pin 11 (and therefore the distribution nozzle) is held fixed in rotation by the longitudinal guide 12. This results in a longitudinal movement of the distribution nozzle 7.
[0045] In order to allow the rotation of the body 6, the latter is rotatably mounted on the sleeve 9. To this end, in the example shown, the sleeve 9 is provided with radial protrusions 16 and the body is provided, on its inner surface, with an annular groove 17 in into which the radial protrusions 16 are engaged. Obviously, the protrusions 16 could be replaced by a peripheral ridge. Furthermore, the protrusions (or the ridge) could be formed on the inner surface of the body 6, while the corresponding groove 17 would be formed on the sleeve 9.
[0046] It is noteworthy that the cap is configured so that the torque required to move the dispensing nozzle by turning the body 6 is less, and preferably much less, than the torque required to unscrew the cap from the neck. This prevents any unintentional unscrewing of the cap, but nevertheless allows the cap to be removed by continuing to unscrew it, with a higher torque, once the dispensing nozzle has been brought to the raised position.
[0047] As can be seen in particular in [Fig.4], the dispensing nozzle forms a channel 15, which is free of any obstruction and which allows the passage of the product from the reservoir 2 to the dispensing orifice 8.
[0048] Unlike bottles with a pump, in which the pump is fixedly mounted on the neck and in which it is easy to ensure a seal between the neck and the pump on the one hand, and in which the pump forms a sealed space on the other, it is necessary in the context of the present invention to ensure a seal between the neck and a moving part, namely the dispensing nozzle. However, the neck of bottles, particularly glass bottles, can exhibit significant dimensional and geometric variations. This problem is solved in the invention by providing the sleeve 9 with a sealing portion 18.
[0049] The sealing portion 18 extends longitudinally inside the neck 4. The sealing portion has an inner surface 19 whose geometry and dimensions can be achieved with very tight tolerances. For example, the sleeve 9 can be made of injection-molded plastic, which ensures tight dimensional tolerances. Any other manufacturing process offering tight tolerances and minimal variation can be used to produce the sleeve 9. Alternatively or in addition, the inner surface 19 can be ground by machining.
[0050] The sealing portion extends over a certain length of the neck 4, for example over at least 2 mm, or even over at least 5 mm.
[0051] The inner surface 19 therefore forms a surface of known and controlled geometry, in relation to which it is possible to form and guarantee a liquid seal.
[0052] Thus, the distribution nozzle 7 has a lower portion 20 which is mounted to slide longitudinally within the sealing portion 18. Sealing can be achieved by the small clearance, or contact, between the sealing portion and the outer surface of the lower portion 20 of the distribution nozzle 7. For this purpose, the lower portion 20 of the distribution nozzle 7 can be cylindrical, with a cross-section corresponding transverse, within a small functional clearance, to the internal cross-section of the sealing portion 18.
[0053] Advantageously, the lower portion 20 is longer than the sealing portion 18. In particular, the lower portion 20 extends longitudinally beyond the sealing portion 18, both in the lowered and raised positions of the dispensing nozzle. Thus, sealing can be achieved along the entire length (i.e., the longitudinal dimension) of the sealing portion 18.
[0054] As an alternative to this sealing achieved between two corresponding surfaces, other means of achieving it can be used as explained below.
[0055] Figure 5 illustrates an optional valve that can be used in certain embodiments of the invention. The valve 21 is positioned at the outlet of the dispensing nozzle 7, thus forming the dispensing orifice 8. The valve 21 can be made of a flexible material, for example, silicone. It prevents the product from flowing out when the dispensing nozzle is in the lowered position. For example, the outlet surface 22 of the valve is then in contact with the inner surface of the body 6, which prevents any product from escaping.
[0056] The embodiment shown in Figures 6 and 7 is essentially identical to that of Figures 1 to 5, except that this embodiment does not include a valve at the outlet of the dispensing nozzle. Therefore, the dispensing orifice can have a calibrated cross-section, depending on the nature of the product contained in the bottle, to ensure dispensing with a flow rate that is neither too low nor too high. In the example shown, the cross-section of the dispensing orifice is rectangular, so that this cross-section can be relatively large despite a low lift of the dispensing nozzle. Unexpected product leakage is prevented by a good fit between the inner surface of the body 6 and the dispensing nozzle 7. Optionally, a flexible element, for example made of elastomer, can be positioned on the inner face of the body 6 opposite the dispensing orifice when the dispensing nozzle is in the lowered position.This flexible element then allows for a perfect seal at the dispensing opening when the bottle is closed.
[0057] The embodiment shown in [Fig. 8] and [Fig. 9] differs from those in Figures 1 to 7 primarily in the mechanism for moving the dispensing nozzle from the lowered to the raised position (and vice versa). In these figures, only the cap 5 is shown; the bottle reservoir is otherwise similar to that of the embodiments described above.
[0058] Fig. 8 is a cross-sectional view, along a plane equivalent to that of figures 4 and 7.
[0059] In [Fig. 9], the body 6 of the cap 5 is shown in transparency in order to partially demonstrate the mechanism of the cap.
[0060] The cap includes, as in the embodiments already presented, a sleeve 9 intended to be fixedly mounted on the neck of a reservoir, for example by screwing, a body 5 rotatably mounted on the sleeve 9, and a dispensing nozzle 7 which forms a channel 15 allowing the passage of the product from the reservoir to the dispensing orifice 8. Here, the dispensing orifice 8 does not have a valve, but it could very well have one.
[0061] As in the embodiments already presented, the distribution nozzle 7 includes a pin 11 which is engaged in a longitudinal guide 12 and in a ramp 13.
[0062] However, in this embodiment, the longitudinal guide 12 is formed within the thickness of the body 6, on its inner surface. The ramp 13 is formed through the sleeve 9.
[0063] Therefore, when the body 6 rotates, the pin 11 is also rotated. However, for aesthetic and practical reasons, it may be desirable for the distribution nozzle to move from the lowered position to the raised position via a purely linear movement. For this purpose, in the embodiment shown in Figures 8 and 9, the distribution nozzle is made in two separate parts, namely a lower part 20 and an upper part 22.
[0064] The lower part 20 and the upper part 22 are mounted to rotate freely relative to each other about a longitudinal axis. In the example shown, an annular protrusion 23 of the lower part is engaged in a corresponding annular groove 24 of the upper part 22, which allows rotation between these two parts.
[0065] In order to block the upper part 22 from rotation, it is provided with a stop 25, here in the form of a longitudinal edge, this stop 25 being inserted into a longitudinal slot 26 formed in the sleeve 9. Thus, when the body 6 of the cap is turned, the lower part 20 of the distribution nozzle moves longitudinally by rotating, due to the progression of the pin(s) 11 in the ramp(s) 13, while the upper part 22, blocked from rotation with respect to the sleeve 9, has a pure translational movement.
[0066] Another aspect is illustrated in [Fig. 8]. Thus, in the device of [Fig. 8], the sealing portion 18 has a tapered end portion 25. Here, the tapered end portion 25 has a chamfer formed on the side of the neck wall of the bottle reservoir. The sealing portion 18 is slightly conical, or narrowed at the tapered end portion 25. This tapered end portion 25 is in contact with the lower part 20 of the dispensing nozzle 7, which ensures a seal along the contact line (or the contact surface, which has a short length). The flexibility of the tapered portion ensures its fit in contact with the lower part 20. We can then speak of a linear seal. If necessary, the thinned end part 25 can form a lip in contact with the lower part 20.
[0067] In an alternative embodiment, one or more annular seals may be interposed between the distribution nozzle 7 and the sealing part 18.
[0068] These different ways of obtaining the desired sealing can be applied to the different embodiments of the mechanism.
[0069] The present invention thus proposes a bottle for a liquid or viscous product, such as a shower gel or body cream, whose dispensing nozzle is raised or lowered to expose or, conversely, to cover and seal the dispensing orifice, i.e., to open or close the bottle. This opening and closing mechanism is intuitive (because the cap resembles a conventional screw cap and opens and closes by rotation) and user-friendly. The invention addresses sealing problems that may arise due to variations in the manufacturing of the reservoir, which can be made of glass or plastic with relatively large tolerances.
