Description

[0001] DESCRIPTION

[0002] TITLE: Member for taking up and dispensing a product contained in a container and assembly for packaging, taking up and dispensing a product comprising such a member

[0003] The present invention relates to the field of members for taking up and dispensing a product, notably a cosmetic product.

[0004] The term “cosmetic product” is understood, notably within the meaning of the present invention, to mean a product as defined in Regulation (EC) No. 1223 / 2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 November 2009 relating to cosmetic products.

[0005] More particularly, the invention relates to an assembly for packaging, taking up and dispensing a product, comprising a container or pot, and a member for taking up and dispensing the product contained in the container and mounted on said container.

[0006] Conventionally, product uptake and dispensing members comprise a hollow bulb or bulb pump of circular cross section configured to be compressed by a user so as to generate a suction pressure inside said bulb, and a tube or duct connected to said bulb and immersed in the container containing the product that is to be taken up.

[0007] The compressible bulbs are generally produced by a method of injectionmoulding a plastics materials such as a butadiene-acrylonitrile copolymer or nitrile rubber, abbreviated to "NBR", having a Shore A hardness of between 30 and 90.

[0008] However, although such material allows the bulb to be compressed without supplying an excessive compressive force, and is thus easy to use, such material is not recyclable and does not allow optimal control over the drawing-up and dispensing of the product.

[0009] The tubes associated with a compressible bulb are generally made of glass or of acid-modified polycyclohexylene dimethylene terephthalate, abbreviated to "PCT- A", or of poly propylene, abbreviated to "PP".

[0010] The known uptake and dispensing members are thus composed of a plurality of materials that are difficult to recycle or that are recyclable in their own distinct recycling paths, making the recycling process more complicated. To date, there are no uptake and dispensing members that are easily recyclable while at the same time providing the rigidity needed to allow optimal control of the drawing-up and dispensing of the product.

[0011] Proposing ecologically responsible, environmentally friendly solutions, of which the design and development take into account environmental issues, has become a major concern for tackling global challenges.

[0012] It is therefore essential to design products that allow the amount of materials used to be reduced and / or that allow them to be replaced with more environmentally friendly materials and / or that allow recyclable materials to be used, in order to reduce the carbon footprint of the product.

[0013] In this context, it is becoming important to replace certain materials with alternatives offering a better environmental footprint, notably by reducing the use of petrochemical-based starting materials and / or by using materials that are highly recyclable.

[0014] It is also important to provide recyclable packagings which notably contain elements which consist of as few materials as possible and / or do not comprise materials which are difficult to recycle, in order to make them easier to dismantle at the end of their service life.

[0015] As a result, it has become apparent that it is necessary to develop packagings consisting of environmentally friendly, recyclable materials to allow the packagings at the end of their service life to be reutilized and avoid pollution of the recycling pathways.

[0016] The present invention forms part of this strategy of developing uptake and dispensing members for the field of fluid cosmetic products, particularly care products, for example a serum, intended to be applied to the epidermis of a user.

[0017] Thus, by replacing the materials used in the conventional uptake and dispensing members with a material that is recyclable, it is necessary to modify the entire manufacturing method used for the uptake and dispensing members.

[0018] Specifically, the use of a more rigid plastic for the bulb is not envisaged in combination with an injection-moulding method, because it would then not be possible to release the bulb from the mould and / or the bulb would be too rigid and would be able to be compressed only with difficulty in order to draw up and dispense product. Moreover, simply replacing the material of the known bulbs would not make it possible to ensure compression that was satisfactory for the drawing-up and dispensing of the product.

[0019] There is therefore still a need to improve the members for taking up and dispensing a cosmetic product.

[0020] The object of the present invention is therefore to overcome the above drawbacks and to improve the uptake and dispensing members in order to make them easier to recycle, easy to manufacture, while at the same time ensuring satisfactory compression for drawing up and controlling the dispensing of the product.

[0021] A subject of the invention is a member for taking up and dispensing a fluid product, notably a cosmetic product, contained in a container.

[0022] The uptake and dispensing member extends along an axis of extension and comprises:

[0023] - an uptake and dispensing tube or pipette body, and

[0024] - an uptake and dispensing bulb or bulb pump secured directly or indirectly to the uptake and dispensing tube.

[0025] The uptake and dispensing bulb comprises a neck and a hollow body that is elastically compressible and extends axially from the neck towards the outside, said hollow body being bounded radially by two lateral pressing walls facing one another and two junctions, the lateral pressing walls having a width greater than the width of the junctions, the neck having a thickness greater than the thickness of the lateral pressing walls.

[0026] Said hollow body has a cross section in the radial direction the shape of which is non-circular, preferably elliptical, defining a major axis and a minor axis, the ratio between the minor axis and the major axis being strictly less than 0.8.

[0027] The lateral pressing walls form pressing zones on which the user exerts a compression force in order to draw product up inside the uptake and dispensing tube and to dispense the product onto a bodily surface.

[0028] The shape of the body allows for ease of use thanks to the flexibility of the lateral pressing walls that encourage compression while at the same time being rigid enough to allow control over the deformation pressure and thus over the drawing-up of the product that is to be taken up and over the dispensing of this product onto a bodily surface.

[0029] Specifically, the non-circular cross section of the body makes it possible to obtain lateral walls that are thinner in a radial direction and / or to achieve a favoured- deformation effect by pressing against the large faces of the bulb that are formed by the lateral pressing walls.

[0030] Moreover, the shape of the body means that the user is intuitively encouraged to press on the lateral pressing faces.

[0031] A “product” means a cosmetic product, for example a liquid product, that is intended to be applied, for example, to the user’s epidermis. In an entirely non-limiting manner, the product may be a care serum, or any fluid product intended to be taken up in order to be dispensed.

[0032] Advantageously, the hollow body of the uptake and dispensing bulb is bounded axially by an upper wall, the thickness of the upper wall being greater than the thickness of the lateral pressing walls.

[0033] This makes it possible to further encourage the deformation of the hollow body of the uptake and dispensing bulb when used on the lateral pressing walls.

[0034] As a preference, the thickness of the lateral pressing walls of the hollow body of the uptake and dispensing bulb is variable along its entire axial dimension.

[0035] Advantageously, the thickness of the junctions of the hollow body of the uptake and dispensing bulb is less than the thickness of the lateral pressing walls.

[0036] This difference in thickness between the lateral pressing walls of the hollow body of the bulb and the junctions makes it possible in use to obtain easier bending of the hollow body, thereby encouraging the hollow body to deform in order to take up the product.

[0037] As a preference, the uptake and dispensing bulb is made of a thermoplastic material, for example of a polyolefin such as polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), or of a polyester such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET).

[0038] The advantages of such a material, notably of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) are that it is transparent, recyclable, can be taken from a recycling pathway and is sufficiently rigid to provide control over the drawing-up of the product that is to be taken up and over the dispensing of said product

[0039] In general, the uptake and dispensing bulb is made from a material having an elastic limit / Young's modulus greater than 0.1 GPa, preferably greater than 0.15 GPa, and particularly from low-density polyethylene (LDPE), better still greater than 0.2 GPa, and particularly from polyethylene (PE), notably greater than 1.1 GPa, particularly from polypropylene (PP) and preferably greater than 1.5 GPa, particularly from polyethylene terephthalate (PET).

[0040] Advantageously, the minor axis of the hollow body of the uptake and dispensing bulb has a dimension greater than the inside diameter of the neck of said bulb.

[0041] This sizing offers the advantage of allowing the hollow body a compression travel that is significant enough to enable the dose of product to be taken up. This sizing is particularly advantageous when the uptake and dispensing bulb is made from a thermoplastic material insofar as thermoplastics are more rigid than the nitrile rubber conventionally used for compressible bulbs of the prior art, and cannot therefore be fully compressed.

[0042] Advantageously, the uptake and dispensing bulb is produced by a simple extrusion or injection-moulding method configured to create a preform defining the final geometry of the neck of the bulb, followed by a blowing method configured to stretch the body of the preform and create the hollow body of the bulb.

[0043] The injection-moulding step or extrusion enables the creation of a neck with a precise geometry to allow it to be assembled with the uptake and dispensing tube and / or with the mounting interface, for example by screwing-together, clip-fastening, force-fitting, etc.

[0044] The blowing step enables the body of the preform of the uptake and dispensing bulb to be stretched thus obtaining the stretched form of said body.

[0045] The uptake and dispensing tube is preferably made from the same material as the uptake and dispensing bulb.

[0046] This enables the uptake and dispensing tube and the uptake and dispensing bulb to be recycled along the same recycling pathway and makes it possible to conform to current environmental constraints.

[0047] For example, the neck of the uptake and dispensing bulb has a cross section of circular shape.

[0048] As a variant, a neck with a cross section of non-circular, for example of elliptical or ovoid, shape, could be anticipated.

[0049] The circular shape of the neck makes it possible to promote sealing when it is assembled directly or indirectly with the tube.

[0050] The hollow body of the uptake and dispensing bulb has, for example, an axial length of between 20 mm and 45 mm.

[0051] The ratio between the maximum radial dimension of the body and the maximum radial dimension of the neck is, for example, strictly less than 0.7.

[0052] The uptake and dispensing bulb has, for example, a volume of between 3 mL and 7 mL.

[0053] Advantageously, the uptake and dispensing tube comprises a body of cylindrical overall shape extending along the axis of extension and delimiting an interior duct extending from an open upper end to an open lower end and opening into the internal volume of the reservoir.

[0054] For example, the interior duct has a variable cross section with a diameter that is larger at the upper end than the diameter of the lower end.

[0055] As a variant, provision could be made for the diameter of the interior duct to be constant over the entire length.

[0056] According to a first embodiment, the uptake and dispensing member comprises a mounting interface extending along the axis of extension and the uptake and dispensing bulb is connected to the uptake and dispensing tube by means of the mounting interface.

[0057] Advantageously, the mounting interface comprises:

[0058] - an upper wall;

[0059] - a mounting skirt comprising a female thread intended to collaborate with a male thread of the container,

[0060] - an internal skirt extending from an internal end of the upper wall in a first axial direction;

[0061] - a first fixing skirt extending axially from the lower end of the internal skirt in the first axial direction and comprising, on its internal surface, a clip-fastening relief, for example an annular groove, collaborating with a clip-fastening relief of mating shape, for example an annular bulge, formed on the external surface of the uptake and dispensing tube; and

[0062] - a second fixing skirt extending axially from the lower end of the internal skirt in a second axial direction, opposite to the first axial direction.

[0063] The second fixing skirt is surrounded radially by the internal skirt while leaving a radial space to receive the uptake and dispensing bulb, the second fixing skirt comprising on its external surface a clip-fastening relief, for example an annular bulge, collaborating with an associated clip-fastening relief, for example an annular groove, provided on the internal surface of the uptake and dispensing bulb.

[0064] As a variant, any structural interchanging of the clip-fastening reliefs or other options for fixing the elements together could be envisioned.

[0065] The shape of the neck mates with the shape of the radial receiving space extending radially between the internal skirt and the second fixing skirt.

[0066] In this embodiment, the uptake and dispensing bulb is connected to the uptake and dispensing tube indirectly via the mounting interface.

[0067] In this embodiment, the neck of the uptake and dispensing bulb has no relief on its external surface for fixing it to the mounting interface.

[0068] As a variant, in this embodiment, the neck of the uptake and dispensing bulb could comprise one or more reliefs preventing rotation or providing angular indexing between the uptake and dispensing bulb and the mounting interface. However, such reliefs do not have the effect of providing axial retention of the neck of the uptake and dispensing bulb with respect to the mounting interface.

[0069] Advantageously, the first fixing skirt is offset radially towards the inside with respect to the internal skirt.

[0070] The uptake and dispensing tube may further comprise a radial flange pressing axially against the free end of the first fixing skirt.

[0071] For example, the mounting interface comprises an external skirt, referred to as dressing, radially surrounding the mounting skirt and connected to the mounting skirt by an upper wall intended to come to rest axially against the open end of the neck of the container in the position of closing off the container.

[0072] The external skirt of the mounting interface has, for example, an axial dimension that is greater than the axial dimension of the mounting skirt so that it sits flush with the shoulder of the container in the position of closing off the container and thus forms a barrier sealing against external particles that could find their way into the screw thread and impede the screwing / unscrewing of the mounting interface with respect to the container.

[0073] The external skirt of the mounting interface may have a cross section that is circular, or polygonal, for example square, particularly with rounded comers, notably so as to be consistent in shape with the cross section of the container with which the uptake and dispensing member is intended to be associated.

[0074] As a variant, provision could be made for the mounting interface to have no external skirt.

[0075] The internal skirt is, for example, surrounded radially by the mounting skirt.

[0076] According to a second embodiment, the uptake and dispensing bulb is connected directly to the uptake and dispensing tube without any intermediate element, the uptake and dispensing tube comprising, on its external surface, a clip-fastening relief collaborating with a corresponding clip-fastening relief provided on the internal surface of the neck of the uptake and dispensing bulb.

[0077] In this embodiment, the neck of the uptake and dispensing bulb comprises lugs projecting radially from the external surface of said neck and intended to collaborate with at least two angular segments of a mounting interface secured to the container.

[0078] In this embodiment, the mounting interface is secured to the container by any appropriate means such as by clip-fastening. To this end, the mounting interface comprises a container-mounting skirt having, on its internal surface, one or more clipfastening reliefs, such as a continuous or discontinuous bulge, suitable for collaborating with one or more complementary clip-fastening reliefs provided on the neck of the container. The mounting skirt of the mounting interface may have a cross section that is circular, or polygonal, for example square, particularly with rounded corners, notably so as to be consistent in shape with the cross section of the container with which the uptake and dispensing member is intended to be associated.

[0079] A second aspect of the invention relates to an assembly for packaging, taking up and dispensing a fluid product, notably a cosmetic product, comprising:

[0080] - a reservoir or container, for example in the form of a hollow body, delimiting an internal volume intended to contain a fluid product and comprising an open end for accessing said internal volume, the container extending axially along the axis of extension, from an upper end forming a neck provided with the open end as far as a lower end forming the bottom, and

[0081] - a member for taking up and dispensing the product as defined hereinabove, this member being mounted removably on the container and closing off the open end of said container in an assembled position, the uptake and dispensing tube extending into the container when the assembly is in the assembled position.

[0082] According to one embodiment, in which the uptake and dispensing member comprises the mounting interface, the neck of the container comprises removable means of attachment intended to collaborate with complementary means of attachment provided on the uptake and dispensing member, the mounting interface extending radially around the neck of the container in the assembled position.

[0083] In other words, the member for taking up and dispensing the product is configured to close off the opening of the reservoir and is removable with respect to said reservoir.

[0084] In this embodiment, the neck of the container may further be provided with a scraper member for scraping the uptake and dispensing tube, this member being fixed by any suitable means and provided with a scraping lip suitable for scraping the exterior surface of the tube as it is extracted out of the container.

[0085] According to another embodiment, in which the uptake and dispensing member does not comprise the mounting interface, the packaging assembly comprises a mounting interface distinct from the uptake and dispensing member and secured to the container.

[0086] The mounting interface comprises:

[0087] 1) a mounting ring comprising:

[0088] 1) a mounting skirt extending along the axis and comprising a clip-fastening relief intended to collaborate with a corresponding clip-fastening relief provided on the reservoir, ii) an internal skirt comprising at least two angular segments projecting radially from the internal surface of the internal skirt towards the inside and intended to collaborate with lugs projecting radially from the external surface of the neck of the uptake and dispensing bulb, the internal skirt being surrounded radially by the mounting skirt; and

[0089] 2) a scraper member for scraping the uptake and dispensing tube and comprising: i) an annular flange designed to rest against an upper end of the neck, ii) an external sealing skirt extending from the annular flange and comprising clipfastening reliefs intended to collaborate with corresponding clip-fastening reliefs provided on the internal surface of the neck of the container, and iii) an internal sealing skirt connected to the external sealing skirt and surrounded radially by said external sealing skirt, said internal sealing skirt comprising, on its internal surface, at least one sealing zone in radial contact with a sealing zone provided on the external surface of the uptake and dispensing tube.

[0090] The body of the container may be made, for example, of rigid or semirigid synthetic material or else of glass.

[0091] The neck of the container is for example connected to the body of the container by a shoulder.

[0092] For example, the neck of the container has an outside diameter smaller than the outside diameter of the body of the container. The removable means of attachment may be a male or female screw thread or clip-fastening reliefs.

[0093] The assembly is configured to package the cosmetic product, take up a quantity of the cosmetic product and apply it, notably to the epidermis of a user.

[0094] Further aims, features and advantages of the invention will become apparent upon reading the following description, which is given solely by way of non-limiting example and with reference to the appended drawings, in which:

[0111] [FIG 12B] is view in radial section of Figure 12.

[0112] In the rest of the description, reference will be made to an orthonormal basis X, Y, Z, where Z corresponds to an elevation or elongation axis representing the vertical direction, in which there can be seen:

[0113] - a longitudinal axis X, which is horizontal;

[0114] - a transverse axis Y, which is horizontal, and perpendicular to the longitudinal axis X, and

[0115] - a vertical axis Z, which is orthogonal to the longitudinal axis X and transverse axis Y and extends from bottom to top in Figure 1.

[0116] The expressions “upper” and “lower” refer to the upper part and the lower part of the figures, when the product packaging assembly is in the assembled position.

[0117] The terms “interior” or “internal” and “exterior” or “external” are used with reference to the inside of the product packaging assembly, the interior or internal parts being closer to the elevation axis Z-Z’ than the exterior or external parts.

[0118] Figures 1 and 6 show a first example of an assembly 1 for packaging, taking up and dispensing a fluid product P, notably a cosmetic product, configured for packaging the cosmetic product, taking up a quantity of the cosmetic product and applying it, notably to the epidermis of a user.

[0119] A “product” means a cosmetic product, for example a liquid product, that is intended to be applied, for example, to the user’s epidermis. In an entirely non-limiting manner, the product may be a care serum, a hair oil or any fluid product intended to be taken up in order to be dispensed. The assembly 1 for packaging the fluid product comprises a reservoir or container 10, for example in the form of a hollow body, delimiting an internal volume 12 containing a product P, for example a fluid product. The reservoir 10 extends axially along an axis Z-Z’ of extension that is presumed to be vertical in the figures, from an upper end 14 forming a neck provided with an open end 16 for accessing the internal volume 12 as far as a lower end 18 forming the bottom of the reservoir. The body of the reservoir 10 may be made, for example, of rigid or semirigid synthetic material or else of glass.

[0120] The neck 14 is in this instance connected to the body 12 of the container 10 by a shoulder 13.

[0121] As illustrated, the neck 14 has an outside diameter smaller than the outside diameter of the body of the reservoir 10 and comprises, on its exterior surface, a screw thread 14a onto which a member 20 for taking up and dispensing the product is screwed.

[0122] The member 20 for taking up and dispensing the product is configured to close off the open end 16 of the reservoir 10 and is removable with respect to said reservoir.

[0123] As a variant, provision could be made for the uptake and dispensing member 20 to be mounted on the container 10 by means other than screw-fastening, such as for example by clip-fastening.

[0124] The member 20 for taking up and dispensing the product P comprises an uptake and dispensing tube or pipette body 21 extending into the container 10 when the assembly 1 is in the assembled position, a mounting interface 30 secured to the uptake and dispensing tube 21, and an uptake and dispensing bulb or bulb pump 40 which is elastically compressible and secured to the mounting interface 30.

[0125] The uptake and dispensing tube 21 here comprises a body 21a of cylindrical overall shape extending along the axis Z-Z’ and delimiting an interior duct 21b extending from its open upper end 21d towards its open lower end 21c and opening into the internal volume 12 of the reservoir 10. As a variant, the body 21a of the uptake and dispensing tube 21 may have a square or polygonal cross section.

[0126] As illustrated, the interior duct 21b has a variable cross section with a diameter that is larger at the upper end 21d than the diameter of the lower end 21c.

[0127] As a variant, provision could be made for the diameter of the interior duct 21b to be constant over the entire length. The mounting interface 30 extends axially along the axis Z-Z' and radially around the neck 14 of the container 10.

[0128] The mounting interface 30 comprises a substantially cylindrical mounting skirt 31 extending along the axis Z-Z' and radially around the neck 14 of the container 10 and comprising a female thread 31a collaborating with the male thread 14a of the neck 14 of the reservoir 10.

[0129] The mounting interface 30 further comprises an external skirt 32, referred to as dressing, radially surrounding the mounting skirt 31 and connected to the mounting skirt 31 by an upper wall 33 intended to come to rest axially against the open upper end 16 of the neck 14 of the container 10 in the position of closing off the container 10. In this position, axial contact between the upper wall 33 of the mounting interface 30 and the open end 16 of the container 10 provides sealing of the container 10 with respect to the mounting interface 30.

[0130] To complement this, the neck 14 of the container may further be provided with a scraper member (not depicted) for scraping the uptake and dispensing tube 21, this member being fixed by any suitable means and provided with a scraping lip suitable for scraping the exterior surface of the tube 21 as it is extracted out of the container 10.

[0131] Such a scraper member may conventionally have an annular flange resting against the upper end 14 of the neck and against which the upper wall 33 of the mounting interface 30 comes into contact in the position of closing off the container 10 in order to seal same.

[0132] The external skirt 32 here has a substantially cylindrical shape. As a variant, provision could be made for the external skirt 32 to have the shape of a polygon, such as a squared circle, namely a square with rounded comers.

[0133] The external skirt 32 has an axial dimension that is greater than the axial dimension of the mounting skirt 31 so that it sits flush with the shoulder 13 of the container and thus forms a barrier sealing against external particles that could find their way into the screw thread and impede the screwing / unscrewing of the mounting interface 30 with respect to the container 10.

[0134] As a variant, provision could be made for the mounting interface 30 to have no external skirt 32. The mounting interface 30 further comprises an internal skirt 34 extending from an internal end of the upper wall 33 into the internal volume 12 of the container 10.

[0135] The internal skirt 34 is radially surrounded by the mounting skirt 31.

[0136] The mounting interface 30 further comprises a first fixing skirt 35 extending axially from the lower end of the internal skirt 34 towards the internal volume 12 of the container 10.

[0137] The first fixing skirt 35 here is offset radially towards the inside with respect to the internal skirt 34.

[0138] The first fixing skirt 35 comprises, on its internal surface, a clip-fastening relief 35a, here an annular groove, collaborating with a clip-fastening relief 21 e of mating shape, here an annular bulge formed on the external surface of the uptake and dispensing tube 21.

[0139] As a variant, any clip-fastening relief providing axial retention of the uptake and dispensing tube 21 with respect to the first fixing skirt 35 of the mounting interface 30 could be envisioned.

[0140] The uptake and dispensing tube 21 further comprises a radial flange 21f pressing axially against the free end 35b of the fixing skirt 35.

[0141] The mounting interface 30 further comprises a second fixing skirt 36 extending axially from the lower end of the internal skirt 34 towards the upper wall 33. The second fixing skirt 36 is surrounded radially by the internal skirt 34 while leaving a space E to receive the uptake and dispensing bulb 40.

[0142] The second fixing skirt 36 comprises, on its external surface, a clip-fastening relief 36a, here an annular bulge, collaborating with a complementary clip-fastening relief 41a, here an annular bulge formed on the internal surface of the uptake and dispensing bulb 40.

[0143] As a variant, any clip-fastening relief providing axial retention of the uptake and dispensing bulb 40 with respect to the second fixing skirt 36 of the mounting interface 30 could be envisioned.

[0144] The second fixing skirt 36 extends axially in the opposite direction to the first fixing skirt 35.

[0145] The uptake and dispensing bulb 40 comprises a neck 41 configured to be fixed to the mounting interface 30, and a body 42 that is elastically compressible and extends axially from the neck 41 towards the outside. The neck 41 here has a cross section that is circular in shape.

[0146] As a variant, a neck with a cross section of non-circular, for example of elliptical or ovoid, shape, could be anticipated.

[0147] The circular shape of the neck 41 makes it possible to promote sealing when the bulb 40 is assembled with the mounting interface 30.

[0148] The shape of the neck 41 mates with the shape of the receiving space E extending radially between the internal skirt 34 and the second fixing skirt 36.

[0149] The neck 41 comprises, on its internal surface, a clip-fastening relief 41a, here an annular bulge, collaborating with a complementary clip-fastening relief 36a, here an annular bulge, formed on the external surface of the second fixing skirt 36 of the mounting interface 30.

[0150] As a variant, any structural interchanging of the clip-fastening reliefs or other options for fixing the elements together could be envisioned.

[0151] In this embodiment, the uptake and dispensing bulb 40 is connected to the uptake and dispensing tube 21 indirectly via the mounting interface 30.

[0152] In this embodiment, as illustrated, the uptake and dispensing bulb 40 has no relief on its external surface.

[0153] As a variant, provision could be made for the external surface of the uptake and dispensing bulb 40 to comprise reliefs preventing rotation or providing angular indexing. In general, the external surface of the neck 41 of the uptake and dispensing bulb 40 comprises no relief providing axial retention of the uptake and dispensing bulb 40 with respect to the mounting interface 30.

[0154] The hollow body 42 of the uptake and dispensing bulb 40 is delimited radially by two lateral pressing walls 43a, 43b facing one another, and two junctions 44a, 44b. The lateral pressing walls 43a, 43b have a width greater than the width of the junctions 44a, 44b.

[0155] The lateral pressing walls 43a, 43b form pressing zones on which the user exerts a compression force in order to draw product P up inside the uptake and dispensing tube 21 and to dispense it onto a bodily surface.

[0156] The hollow body 42 of the uptake and dispensing bulb 40 is delimited axially by an upper wall 45.

[0157] As illustrated, the thickness of the upper wall 45 is greater than the thickness of the lateral pressing walls 43a, 43b. As visible in detail in Figure 6B, the hollow body 42 of the uptake and dispensing bulb 40 has a radial cross section that is non-circular, here elliptical, defined by a major axis A and a minor axis a, the ratio a / A between the minor axis a and the major axis A being strictly less than 0.8. For example, the minor axis a measures 10 mm and the major axis A measures 18 mm.

[0158] The neck 41 has a thickness greater than the thickness of the lateral pressing walls 43a, 43b of the hollow body 42. Preferably, the minor axis a of the hollow body 42 has a dimension greater than the inside diameter of the neck 41.

[0159] The thickness of the lateral pressing walls 43a, 43b may be variable or constant along the entire axial dimension.

[0160] The shape of the body 42 of the uptake and dispensing bulb 40 allows for ease of use thanks to the flexibility of the lateral pressing walls 43a, 43b that encourage compression while at the same time being rigid enough to allow control over the deformation pressure and thus over the drawing-up of the product that is to be taken up and over the dispensing of this product onto a bodily surface.

[0161] Specifically, the non-circular cross section of said body 42 makes it possible to obtain lateral pressing walls 43a, 43b that are thinner in a radial direction and / or to achieve flexibility of the lateral pressing walls 43a, 43b that is greater than that of the junctions 44a, 44b. The thickness of the junctions 44a, 44b is less than the thickness of the lateral pressing walls 43a, 43b.

[0162] Moreover, the shape of the body 42 of the uptake and dispensing bulb 40 encourages the user to press on the lateral pressing faces 43a, 43b.

[0163] The uptake and dispensing bulb 40 has a volume of between 3 mL and 7 mL.

[0164] The hollow body 42 of the uptake and dispensing bulb 40 has an axial length of between 20 mm and 45 mm.

[0165] The ratio between the maximum radial dimension of the body 42 and the maximum radial dimension of the neck 41 is strictly less than 0.7.

[0166] The ratio between the minimum radial dimension of the body 42 and the maximum radial dimension of the body 42 is equal to 1 if the body 42 were to have a circular cross section.

[0167] The uptake and dispensing bulb 40 is made of a thermoplastic material, for example of a polyolefin such as polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), or of a polyester such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET). The advantages of such a material, notably of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) are that it is transparent, recyclable, can be taken from a recycling pathway and is sufficiently rigid to provide control over the drawing-up of the product that is to be taken up.

[0168] In general, the uptake and dispensing bulb 40 is made from a material having an elastic limit / Young's modulus greater than 0.1 GPa, preferably greater than 0.15 GPa, and particularly from low-density polyethylene (LDPE), better still greater than 0.2 GPa, and particularly from polyethylene (PE), notably greater than 1.1 GPa, particularly from polypropylene (PP) and preferably greater than 1.5 GPa, particularly from polyethylene terephthalate (PET).

[0169] However, a bulb of that shape in that material cannot be produced by simple injection moulding, because of the rigidity of the material that would make it a complicated matter to remove it from the mould.

[0170] The uptake and dispensing bulb 40 is produced by an injection-moulding or extrusion method followed by a blowing step to create the hollow body 42.

[0171] The injection-moulding step or extrusion enables the creation of a preform defining the final geometry of the neck 41 of the uptake and dispensing bulb 40 with a precise geometry to allow it to be assembled with the uptake and dispensing tube 21 and / or with the mounting interface 30, for example by screwing-together, clipfastening, force-fitting, etc.

[0172] The blowing step enables the body of the preform of the uptake and dispensing bulb 40 to be stretched thus obtaining the stretched form of said body 42.

[0173] The blowing step is performed within standard parameters within the competence of the person skilled in the art and that notably depend on the size of the container, on the material used, and on the rigidity / flexibility desired for the body 42 of the bulb 40.

[0174] The uptake and dispensing tube 21 is preferably made from the same material as the uptake and dispensing bulb 40. This enables the uptake and dispensing tube 21 and the uptake and dispensing bulb 40 to be recycled along the same recycling pathway and makes it possible to conform to current environmental constraints.

[0175] Figures 7 to 12 depict a second example of an assembly 100 for packaging, taking up and dispensing a fluid product P, notably a cosmetic product, configured for packaging the cosmetic product, taking up a quantity of the cosmetic product and applying it, notably to the epidermis of a user. The assembly 100 differs from the assembly 1 illustrated in the preceding embodiment in terms of the shape of the connection interface 130 and the connections between the uptake and dispensing bulb 140, the uptake and dispensing tube 121, the connection interface 130 and the container 110.

[0176] The technical features of the body 142 of the uptake and dispensing bulb 140 are similar to those of the body 42 of the uptake and dispensing bulb 40 illustrated in the preceding embodiment, and differ from the preceding embodiment in that the neck 141 of the uptake bulb 140 is now fixed to the uptake and dispensing tube 121 directly rather than by means of the mounting interface 130.

[0177] The assembly 100 for packaging the fluid product thus comprises a reservoir or container 110, for example in the form of a hollow body, delimiting an internal volume 112 containing a product P, for example a fluid product. The reservoir 110 extends axially along an axis Z-Z’ of extension that is presumed to be vertical in the figures, from an upper end 114 forming a neck provided with an open end 116 for accessing the internal volume 12 as far as a lower end 118 forming the bottom of the reservoir 110. The body of the reservoir 110 may be made, for example, of rigid or semirigid synthetic material or else of glass.

[0178] The neck 114 is in this instance connected to the body 112 of the container 110 by a shoulder 113.

[0179] As illustrated, the neck 114 comprises an annular flange 115 extending radially outwards. As a variant, the neck 114 could have no such annular flange 115.

[0180] As illustrated, the neck 114 has an outside diameter smaller than the outside diameter of the body of the reservoir 110 and comprises, on its exterior surface, a clipfastening relief 114a, visible in Figure 12A, collaborating with a clip-fastening relief 131a provided on the mounting interface 130.

[0181] In this embodiment, the member 120 for taking up and dispensing the product P comprises only an uptake and dispensing tube or pipette body 121 extending into the container 110 when the assembly 100 is in the assembled position, and an uptake and dispensing bulb or bulb pump 140 that is elastically compressible and secured directly, with no intermediate element, to the uptake and dispensing tube 121.

[0182] The uptake and dispensing tube 121 comprises a body 121a of cylindrical overall shape extending along the axis Z-Z’ and delimiting an interior duct 121b extending from its open upper end 12 Id towards its open lower end 121c and opening into the internal volume 112 of the reservoir 110. As illustrated, the interior duct 121b has a variable cross section with a diameter that is larger at the upper end 121 d than the diameter of the lower end 121c.

[0183] As a variant, provision could be made for the diameter of the interior duct 121b to be constant over the entire length.

[0184] The mounting interface 130 extends axially along the axis Z-Z' and radially around the neck 114 of the container 110.

[0185] The mounting interface 130 comprises a mounting ring 130a secured to the container 110 and a scraper member 130b for scraping the uptake and dispensing tube 121, in its turn secured to the container 110.

[0186] The mounting ring 130a here is distinct from the scraper member 130b.

[0187] The mounting ring 130a comprises a mounting skirt 131, here substantially cylindrical, extending axially along the axis Z-Z' and radially around the neck 114 of the container 110 and comprising a clip-fastening relief 131a collaborating with the corresponding clip-fastening relief 114a of the reservoir 110.

[0188] The mounting ring 130a further comprises an internal skirt 132 comprising angular segments 132a projecting radially from the internal surface of the internal skirt 132 towards the inside and intended to collaborate with lugs 141a projecting radially from the external surface of the neck 141 of the uptake and dispensing bulb 140.

[0189] In the closing-off position, axial retention of the uptake and dispensing member 12 with respect to the container 110 is provided solely by the collaboration between the lugs 141a borne by the exterior surface of the neck 141 of the uptake and dispensing bulb 140 and the angular segments 132a borne by the internal skirt 132 of the mounting ring 130.

[0190] In order to detach the member 120 from the container 110, the user twists to disengage the lugs 141a borne by the exterior surface of the neck 141 of the uptake and dispensing bulb 140 from the angular segments 132a borne by the internal skirt 132 of the mounting ring 130 and thus be able to distance said uptake and dispensing member 120 axially from the container 110.

[0191] The internal skirt 132 is radially surrounded by the mounting skirt 131.

[0192] The sealing member 130b comprises an annular flange 139 pressing axially against the open end 116 of the container 110, an external sealing skirt 134 extending from the annular flange 139 into the internal volume 112 of the container 110 and an internal sealing skirt 135 connected to the external sealing skirt 134 and surrounded radially by said external sealing skirt 134. The external sealing skirt 134 comprises clip-fastening reliefs 134a collaborating with corresponding clip-fastening reliefs 114b formed on the internal surface of the neck 114 of the container 110.

[0193] The internal sealing skirt 135 comprises, on its internal surface, a sealing zone 135a in contact with a sealing zone 121e provided on the external surface of the uptake and dispensing tube 121. Moreover, the internal sealing skirt 135 comprises a scraping lip suitable for scraping the exterior surface of the tube 121 as it is extracted out of the container 110.

[0194] The uptake and dispensing tube 121 further comprises a radial flange 121f pressing axially against the free end 141c of the neck 141 of the uptake and dispensing bulb 140.

[0195] The uptake and dispensing bulb 140 comprises a neck 141 configured to be secured to the uptake and dispensing tube 121, and a body 142 that is elastically compressible and extends axially from the neck 141 towards the outside.

[0196] The neck 141 here has a cross section that is circular in shape.

[0197] As a variant, a neck with a cross section of non-circular, for example of elliptical or ovoid, shape, could be anticipated.

[0198] The circular shape of the neck 141 of the uptake and dispensing bulb 140 makes it possible to improve sealing.

[0199] The neck 141 of the uptake and dispensing bulb 140 comprises, on its internal surface, a clip-fastening relief 141b, here an annular bulge, collaborating with a complementary clip-fastening relief 121g, here an annular bulge, formed on the external surface of the uptake and dispensing bulb 121.

[0200] As a variant, provision could be made for the uptake and dispensing tube 121 to be fixed to the uptake and dispensing bulb 140 by any other clip-fastening means.

[0201] In this embodiment, the uptake and dispensing bulb 140 is connected to the uptake and dispensing tube 121 directly with no intermediate element.

[0202] The member 120 for taking up and dispensing the product is configured to close off the open end 116 of the reservoir 110 and is removable with respect to said reservoir 110 and with respect to the mounting interface 130.

[0203] As a variant, provision could be made for the uptake and dispensing member 120 to be mounted on the container 110 by means other than clip-fastening, such as for example by screw-fastening. In this embodiment, the neck 141 of the uptake and dispensing bulb 140 comprises lugs 141a, here two of them, spaced angularly from one another and collaborating with the angular segments 132a provided on the mounting ring 130a.

[0204] The hollow body 142 of the uptake and dispensing bulb 140 is delimited radially by two lateral pressing walls 143a, 143b facing one another, and two junctions 144a, 144b. The lateral pressing walls 143a, 143b have a width greater than the width of the junctions 144a, 144b.

[0205] The lateral pressing walls 143a, 143b form pressing zones on which the user exerts a compression force in order to draw product P up inside the uptake and dispensing tube 121 and to dispense it onto a bodily surface.

[0206] The hollow body 142 of the uptake and dispensing bulb 140 is delimited axially by an upper wall 145.

[0207] As illustrated, the thickness of the upper wall 145 is greater than the thickness of the lateral pressing walls 143a, 143b.

[0208] The hollow body 142 of the uptake and dispensing bulb 140 has a radial cross section that is non-circular, here elliptical, defined by a major axis A and a minor axis a, the ratio a / A between the minor axis a and the major axis A being strictly less than 0.8. The minor axis a for example measures 10 mm and the major axis A for example measures 18 mm.

[0209] The neck 141 of the uptake and dispensing bulb 140 has a thickness greater than the thickness of the lateral pressing walls 143a, 143b of the hollow body 142. Preferably, the minor axis a of the hollow body 142 has a dimension greater than the inside diameter of the neck 141.

[0210] The thickness of the lateral pressing walls 143a, 143b may be variable or constant along the entire axial dimension.

[0211] The shape of the body 142 of the uptake and dispensing bulb 140 allows for ease of use thanks to the flexibility of the lateral pressing walls 143a, 143b that encourage compression while at the same time being rigid enough to allow control over the deformation pressure and thus over the drawing-up of the product that is to be taken up and over the dispensing of this product onto a bodily surface.

[0212] Specifically, the non-circular cross section of the body 142 of the uptake and dispensing bulb 140 makes it possible to obtain lateral pressing walls 143a, 143b that are thinner in a radial direction and / or to achieve flexibility of the lateral pressing walls 143a, 143b that is greater than that of the junctions 144a, 144b. The thickness of the junctions 144a, 144b is less than the thickness of the lateral pressing walls 143a, 143b.

[0213] Moreover, the shape of the body 142 of the uptake and dispensing bulb 140 encourages the user to press on the lateral pressing faces 143a, 143b.

[0214] The uptake and dispensing bulb 140 has a volume of between 3 mL and 7 mL.

[0215] The hollow body 142 of the uptake and dispensing bulb 140 has an axial length of between 20 mm and 45 mm.

[0216] The ratio between the maximum radial dimension A of the body 142 and the maximum radial dimension of the neck 141 is strictly less than 0.7.

[0217] The ratio between the minimum radial dimension of the body 142 and the maximum radial dimension of the body 142 is equal to 1 if the body 142 were to have a circular cross section.

[0218] The uptake and dispensing bulb 40 is made of a thermoplastic material, for example of a polyolefin such as polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), or of a polyester such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET).

[0219] The advantages of such a material, notably of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) are that it is transparent, recyclable, can be taken from a recycling pathway and is sufficiently rigid to provide control over the drawing-up of the product that is to be taken up.

[0220] In general, the uptake and dispensing bulb 40 is made from a material having an elastic limit / Young's modulus greater than 0.1 GPa, preferably greater than 0.15 GPa, and particularly from low-density polyethylene (LDPE), better still greater than 0.2 GPa, and particularly from polyethylene (PE), notably greater than 1.1 GPa, particularly from polypropylene (PP) and preferably greater than 1.5 GPa, particularly from polyethylene terephthalate (PET).

[0221] However, a bulb of that shape in that material cannot be produced by simple injection moulding, because of the rigidity of the material that would make it a complicated matter to remove it from the mould.

[0222] The uptake and dispensing bulb 140 is produced by an injection-moulding or extrusion method followed by a blowing step to create the hollow body 142.

[0223] The injection-moulding step or extrusion enables the creation of a preform defining the final geometry of the neck 141 with a precise geometry to allow it to be assembled with the uptake and dispensing tube 121 and / or with the mounting interface 130, for example by screwing-together, clip-fastening, force-fitting, etc. The blowing step enables the body of the preform of the uptake and dispensing bulb 140 to be stretched thus obtaining the stretched form of said body 142.

[0224] The blowing step is performed within standard parameters within the competence of the person skilled in the art and that depend on the size of the container and on the material used.

[0225] The uptake and dispensing tube 121 is preferably made from the same material as the uptake and dispensing bulb 140. This enables the uptake and dispensing tube 121 and the uptake and dispensing bulb 140 to be recycled along the same recycling pathway and makes it possible to conform to current environmental constraints.
