Definitions

Pump capable of closing the neck of a bottle and packaging of spray product comprising said pump and a bottle
the present invention relates to a pump capable of closing the neck of a bottle, and a packaging of spray product comprising said pump and a bottle.
This type of pump is generally used in the field of cosmetics, associated with a bottle made of fragile material, often glass, containing a product to be sprayed.
Such pumps known as “plug” pumps intended to close the neck of a bottle are also so-called “closed” pumps: the pump body contains the pumping mechanism and a rigid sleeve is fitted into said body to prevent any dissociation of the constituent elements of said mechanism.
the pump body is made of flexible material.
the rigid sleeve is made of a harder material, so as to protect the pumping mechanism.
the rigid sleeve is provided on its outer periphery with a protruding rod of reduced dimensions, capable of becoming embedded in the material of the body of flexible material, by what the rigid sleeve is anchored in said body and can not dissociate despite the action of a spring of the pump mechanism.
the pump is supplied pre-assembled. It includes the body of flexible material in which the rigid sleeve is embedded.
the pumping mechanism is installed in said rigid sleeve.
the setting up of the pump takes place according to the following steps: - Said pump is introduced inside the neck of the bottle.
This introduction is done by force and causes a deformation of the body of flexible material linked to its compression between the rigid sleeve and the neck of the bottle.
Such necks are generally made of fragile material, mainly glass and to avoid any risk of rupture of the glass neck, the ability of the flexible material to work in compression is essential.
the bottles are manufactured with wide tolerances resulting in clear differences in the diameters of the necks. For necks of smaller diameter, the rate of deformation of the body of flexible material must be relatively large, the distance between the sleeve rigid and the neck of the bottle being particularly reduced.
the flexible material can reach a kind of maximum deformation state.
the present invention proposes to solve this problem.
the invention thus relates to a pump capable of closing the neck of a bottle comprising, a body of flexible material whose upper part, after assembly of the pump in the neck, is retained at the outer edge of the neck, a mechanism pump contained in said body of flexible material, and a rigid sleeve, interposed between said pumping mechanism and said body and, provided with a rod embedded in said body, characterized in that said rod is capable of providing an annular space between the external surface of said sleeve situated above said rod and the opposite internal surface of the body, said annular space being of dimensions such that after assembly, the radial distances between said external surface of the sleeve and the opposite internal surface of the neck of the bottle, are greater than or equal to the thickness of the body of flexible material, in the unstress
the role of the rod is essential and if as in the prior art, it can be used to anchor said rigid sleeve in said body, here it is mainly used to spare the annular space extending in height up to the outer edge of the neck and allowing the body of flexible material to do little or no work in compression but essentially in bending.
the stresses necessary for the deformation of the body of the pump in flexion being much lower than those necessary for its compression, the neck of the bottle is preserved and this, whatever the tolerance with which it was manufactured.
Such pumps also guarantee good sealing of the bottle filled with the product to be sprayed.
the previously described rod to ensure its function, must have dimensions greater than those of the rods of the prior art which only provided an anchoring function.
frustoconical for example; in this case, the depth of penetration of the rod into the body of flexible material must be taken into account, the latter having a direct influence on the volume of the defined annular space: the more the rod enters the flexible body and the greater the volume decreases.
the upper part of the pump body is constituted by a collar which comes to bear against the outer edge of the neck of the bottle.
the rigid sleeve may also have at its upper end a flange covering, at least in part, said upper part of the body.
the collar of the pump body is held between the outer edge of the neck and the collar of the sleeve.
it is however possible to envisage other types of solution such as for example the bonding of this upper part to the outer edge of the neck.
the abovementioned annular space is defined between the external surface of the sleeve situated above said rod and the internal surface of the body of flexible material and extends in height up to the external edge of the neck of the bottle.
this height corresponds appreciably to the height of the neck of the bottle, which allows the external surface of the body of flexible material to best conform to the shape of the internal surface of the neck, thus guaranteeing good retention of the pump at the inside the collar and a good seal.
a second object of the invention is a packaging of spray product comprising a pump having the aforementioned characteristics and a bottle made of fragile material, which can be glass.
Such packaging has the advantages of using a pump according to the invention.
FIG. 1 shows a cross section of a pump according to the invention before its assembly in the neck of the bottle
FIG. 1 shows a cross section of the pump of Figure 1 after assembly in the neck of the bottle.
the pump as shown in FIG. 1 comprises a body 2 of flexible material enclosing the mechanism 3 of the pump, not shown and in which is embedded the rigid sleeve 4 provided with a ring 6.
This pump is capable of sealing the neck 8 of a bottle.
Said rod 6 provides an annular space 10 between the external surface 4a of said rigid sleeve 4 and the opposite internal surface 2a of said body made of flexible material.
the upper part of this body 2 has the shape of a collar and is retained between the outer edge 12 of the neck 8, and another collar located at the upper end of the sleeve rigid.
the annular space 10 extends in height from the rod 6, up to the level of the outer edge of the bottle 21.
the height of this space 10 corresponds substantially to the height of the neck 8, whereby the body 2 perfectly matches the rounding of the neck 8, thus ensuring better joining of the elements together and good sealing.
