They should not be understood as limitations of the scope of the invention.

De plus, les références désignant les mêmes éléments ont été gardées d'une figure à l'autre, ceci afin d'en faciliter la lecture, et bien que ces éléments puissent avoir des formes différentes.In addition, the references designating the same elements have been kept from one figure to another, in order to facilitate reading, and although these elements may have different shapes.

La figure 1 montre un premier exemple de réalisation d'un dispositif de conditionnement 1 conforme à l'invention.The figure 1 shows a first embodiment of a packaging device 1 according to the invention.

Le dispositif de conditionnement 1 comporte un flacon 2 transparent ou translucide réalisé en verre et formé d'un corps en verre formant réservoir, apte à contenir un produit fluide ou liquide, tel que du parfum par exemple. Le flacon pourrait également être réalisé en un autre matériau tel que du plastique ou du Surlyn©.The packaging device 1 comprises a transparent or translucent bottle 2 made of glass and formed of a glass body forming a reservoir, able to contain a fluid or liquid product, such as perfume for example. The bottle could also be made of another material such as plastic or Surlyn ©.

Conformément à un premier mode de réalisation, le dispositif de conditionnement 1 comporte un col 14 rapporté sur le flacon en verre 2.According to a first embodiment, the packaging device 1 comprises a neck 14 attached to the glass bottle 2.

Le col rapporté 14 est un manchon réalisé en verre par toute technique connue, par exemple par moulage ou par soufflage d'un flacon et découpe de son col.The reported collar 14 is a sleeve made of glass by any known technique, for example by molding or blowing a bottle and cutting of its neck.

Le manchon peut présenter toute forme de section : carrée, circulaire, ovoïdale etc. Le manchon présente une extrémité d'épaisseur plus large, formant une collerette décorative, conçue pour être orientée vers la partie supérieure du dispositif de distribution 1.The sleeve may have any shape of section: square, circular, ovoidal, etc. The sleeve has an end of wider thickness, forming a decorative flange, adapted to be oriented towards the upper part of the dispensing device 1.

Le manchon pourrait être réalisé en un autre matériau, par exemple en Surlyn® ou tout autre matériau transparent.The sleeve could be made of another material, for example Surlyn® or any other transparent material.

Le corps en verre formant le flacon 1 est surmonté d'un second col 3, lui aussi en verre, réalisé d'une seule pièce avec le flacon 2, qui délimite une ouverture par laquelle le flacon peut être rempli dudit produit à distribuer.The glass body forming the bottle 1 is surmounted by a second neck 3, also made of glass, made in one piece with the bottle 2, which defines an opening through which the bottle can be filled with said product to be dispensed.

Le col rapporté 14 et le second col 3 sont coaxiaux.The reported collar 14 and the second collar 3 are coaxial.

Le second col 3, en verre enferme au moins partiellement un dispositif de distribution 4.The second glass neck 3 at least partially encloses a dispensing device 4.

En particulier, le dispositif de distribution 4 peut être une pompe manuelle apte à pulvériser ou simplement distribuer une dose de produit, à chaque actionnement.In particular, the dispensing device 4 may be a manual pump capable of spraying or simply dispensing a dose of product, each actuation.

Le dispositif de distribution comporte ainsi un corps 5, communément appelé « corps de pompe », relié à un bouton poussoir 6 coaxial.The dispensing device thus comprises a body 5, commonly called "pump body", connected to a push button 6 coaxial.

Le corps 5 est fixé, de manière directe ou indirecte, dans le second col 3, et le bouton poussoir 6 est saillant au-dessus du col. De façon usuelle, le bouton poussoir 6 est monté à l'extrémité libre d'un tube 7, aussi appelé tige ou stem, monté coulissant axialement dans le corps 5 et apte à actionner un piston (non représenté) contenu dans le corps 5 de la pompe, de façon connue en soi.The body 5 is fixed, directly or indirectly, in the second neck 3, and the push button 6 is protruding above the neck. In the usual way, the push button 6 is mounted at the free end of a tube 7, also called rod or stem, axially slidably mounted in the body 5 and able to actuate a piston (not shown) contained in the body 5 of the pump, in a manner known per se.

Enfin, le dispositif de distribution comporte un tube plongeur 15 assurant le prélèvement de produit dans le flacon 2 et son amenée jusqu'au corps 5.Finally, the dispensing device comprises a plunger tube 15 for taking product from the vial 2 and supplying it to the body 5.

Le second col 3 du flacon comporte, à son extrémité libre formant le buvant du flacon 1, un bourrelet 8 sur lequel est sertie une bague 9, parfois appelée coupelle ou capsule, assurant la fixation du dispositif de distribution 4.The second neck 3 of the bottle has, at its free end forming the rim of the bottle 1, a bead 8 on which is crimped a ring 9, sometimes called cup or capsule, ensuring the attachment of the dispensing device 4.

Afin de rendre esthétique l'ensemble, un cache 10 est emmanché autour de l'ensemble constitué par le second col 3 équipé du dispositif de distribution 4Le cache se présente sous la forme d'un capuchon comportant un fond 12 présentant une ouverture traversante 13 apte à livrer passage au bouton poussoir 6, ainsi qu'une jupe latérale 11, solidaire du fond 12.In order to render the assembly aesthetic, a cover 10 is fitted around the assembly constituted by the second neck 3 equipped with the dispensing device 4. The cover is in the form of a cap comprising a bottom 12 having a through aperture 13 adapted to to give passage to the push button 6, and a side skirt 11, secured to the bottom 12.

Dans un autre mode de réalisation, le cache pourrait dépasser du col et présenter par exemple un godron pour venir permettre l'encliquetage d'un capot.In another embodiment, the cover could protrude from the neck and present for example a gadroon to come to allow the latching of a hood.

Le cache 10 est fixé sur le dispositif de distribution, ou sur la bague de sertissage, ou sur une partie du flacon 1 par tout moyen connu.The cover 10 is fixed on the dispensing device, or on the crimping ring, or on a portion of the bottle 1 by any known means.

Le col rapporté 14 présente une hauteur qui est sensiblement la même que celle du cache 10, de sorte à protéger le cache 10 sur toute sa hauteur et à laisser libre d'accès le bouton poussoir 6 saillant.The reported collar 14 has a height that is substantially the same as that of the cover 10, so as to protect the cover 10 over its entire height and to allow free access to the push button 6 protruding.

Un tel dispositif de conditionnement est réalisé de la façon suivante : tout d'abord, le flacon 2 en verre et le second col 3 sont réalisés par soufflage.Such a packaging device is made in the following manner: first, the glass vial 2 and the second neck 3 are made by blowing.

Le col rapporté 14 est réalisé indépendamment, par exemple en verre pressé usiné, en plastique injecté ou encore par découpe du col d'un flacon réalisé en verre soufflé.The reported collar 14 is made independently, for example machined pressed glass, injected plastic or by cutting the neck of a bottle made of blown glass.

Ensuite, le col rapporté 14 est emmanché autour du col 3 du flacon en verre 2 et il est fixé sur la surface de la partie supérieure 18 du flacon en verre, au voisinage du col 3 du flacon en verre. Dans le cadre de ce mode de réalisation, le col rapporté 14 est fixé au flacon par exemple par collage 17 au rayonnement ultraviolet, collage à chaud, re-fusion du verre, collage avec de l'email, ou collage de deux plaques métallisées adhésives, l'une des deux plaques étant préalablement collée sur le flacon en verre et l'autre plaque étant préalablement collée sur le col.Then, the reported collar 14 is fitted around the neck 3 of the glass vial 2 and is fixed on the surface of the upper part 18 of the glass vial, in the vicinity of the neck 3 of the glass vial. In the context of this embodiment, the reported collar 14 is attached to the bottle, for example by gluing 17 to ultraviolet radiation, hot gluing, re-melting the glass, gluing with email, or gluing two adhesive metallized plates. one of the two plates being previously glued on the glass bottle and the other plate being previously glued on the neck.

Le flacon en verre 2 est alors rempli de produit.The glass vial 2 is then filled with product.

Enfin, le dispositif de distribution 4 est fixé dans le col 3 du flacon en verre 2, et le cache 10 est inséré entre les deux cols 3 et 14, autour du dispositif de distribution 4.Finally, the dispensing device 4 is fixed in the neck 3 of the glass bottle 2, and the cover 10 is inserted between the two necks 3 and 14, around the dispensing device 4.

Dans le cadre de cet exemple, le col 14 rapporté n'est pas fixé au cache 10 et un jeu annulaire peut être laissé libre entre le col 14 rapporté et le cache 10.In the context of this example, the neck 14 attached is not fixed to the cover 10 and an annular clearance can be left free between the neck 14 reported and the cover 10.

Le jeu laissé entre le col 14 et le cache 10 permet d'éviter un effet optique grossissant. Le cache 10, dans ce cas, pourrait également comporter une partie élargie sur le haut pour des raisons esthétiques et aussi pour éviter que la poussière ne s'infiltre dans l'espaceThe clearance left between the neck 14 and the cover 10 makes it possible to avoid a magnifying optical effect. The cover 10, in this case, could also include an enlarged part on the top for aesthetic reasons and also to prevent the dust from infiltrating the space

La figure 2 montre un autre exemple de distributeur conforme à l'invention.The figure 2 shows another example of a dispenser according to the invention.

Le flacon 2 en verre, son col 3, le col rapporté 14 ainsi que le dispositif de distribution 4 dans son ensemble sont identiques à ceux montrés en figure 1.The glass bottle 2, its neck 3, the reported collar 14 and the distribution device 4 as a whole are identical to those shown in FIG. figure 1 .

La différence réside dans le cache 10 qui est réalisé en deux parties 100 et 101, de préférence en matière plastique.The difference lies in the cover 10 which is made in two parts 100 and 101, preferably plastic.

La première partie du cache 10 est un tube de section circulaire 100 qui est collé (collage portant la référence 17) à l'intérieur du col rapporté 14.The first part of the cover 10 is a tube of circular section 100 which is glued (bonding bearing the reference 17) inside the reported collar 14.

Il devra être compris que le tube de section circulaire 100 pourrait être enfoncé et maintenu par serrage à l'intérieur du col rapporté. Par ailleurs, le tube peut être décoré à l'extérieur, par exemple, par métallisation laquage etc.It will be understood that the circular section tube 100 could be depressed and held by clamping inside the reported collar. Moreover, the tube can be decorated outside, for example, by metallization lacquering etc.

La seconde partie du cache 10 est une rondelle 101 présentant une ouverture traversante en son centre dont le diamètre est légèrement supérieur à celui du bouton poussoir 6 pour pouvoir l'insérer dans l'ouverture traversante.The second part of the cover 10 is a washer 101 having a through opening at its center whose diameter is slightly greater than that of the push button 6 to insert it into the through opening.

Un tel dispositif de conditionnement 1 est réalisé de la façon suivante : le flacon en verre 2 et son col 3 sont réalisés préalablement par soufflage, comme dans le cadre du mode de réalisation montré en figure 1.Such a packaging device 1 is produced in the following manner: the glass vial 2 and its neck 3 are made beforehand by blowing, as in the context of the embodiment shown in FIG. figure 1 .

Le col rapporté 14 est réalisé à part comme dans l'exemple illustré en figure 1.The reported collar 14 is made separately as in the example illustrated in FIG. figure 1 .

La partie 100 du cache 10 est alors fixée à l'intérieur du col rapporté 14 par collage au rayonnement ultraviolet (la couche de colle est référencée 17 sur la figure 2).The portion 100 of the cover 10 is then fixed inside the reported collar 14 by gluing with ultraviolet radiation (the adhesive layer is referenced 17 on the figure 2 ).

Le flacon 1 est alors rempli de produit.The bottle 1 is then filled with product.

Puis, le dispositif de distribution 4 est fixé sur le col 3 en verre du flacon 2.Then, the dispensing device 4 is fixed on the glass neck 3 of the bottle 2.

Enfin, le col rapporté 14 est fixé sur la partie supérieure 18 du flacon en verre 2, et la rondelle 101 du cache est placée et fixée sur l'extrémité de la partie tubulaire 100 du cache, dans le col rapporté 14.Finally, the reported collar 14 is fixed on the upper part 18 of the glass bottle 2, and the washer 101 of the cover is placed and fixed on the end of the tubular part 100 of the cover, in the reported collar 14.

Les figures 3 et 4 montrent encore une variante de réalisation du dispositif de conditionnement 1 conforme à l'invention, comportant un col rapporté 14.The figures 3 and 4 still show an alternative embodiment of the packaging device 1 according to the invention, comprising a reported collar 14.

Dans cet exemple, le flacon 2 en verre, son col 3, le col rapporté 14 ainsi que le dispositif de distribution 4 dans son ensemble sont identiques à ceux montrés en figures 1 ou 2.In this example, the glass bottle 2, its neck 3, the reported collar 14 and the distribution device 4 as a whole are identical to those shown in FIG. Figures 1 or 2 .

Le cache 10 comporte, dans ce cas, deux éléments 103 et 104.The cache 10 comprises, in this case, two elements 103 and 104.

Les éléments 103 et 104 du cache 10 sont tubulaires et présentent chacun un filetage, respectivement interne et externe. Les éléments 103 et 104 sont réalisés en matière plastique. L'élément 103 peut être décoré ou chapé métal, et l'élément peut également être décoré.The elements 103 and 104 of the cover 10 are tubular and each have a thread, respectively internal and external. The elements 103 and 104 are made of plastic. The element 103 can be decorated or metal cap, and the element can also be decorated.

Dans le cadre de cet exemple, le flacon en verre 2 et son col 3 sont réalisés par soufflage préalablement, et le col rapporté 14 est réalisé à part, comme il a déjà été décrit pour les exemples montrés en figures 1 et 2.In the context of this example, the glass bottle 2 and its neck 3 are made by blowing beforehand, and the reported collar 14 is made separately, as has already been described for the examples shown in FIG. Figures 1 and 2 .

La partie 103 du cache 10, présentant le filetage interne, est fixé à l'intérieur du col rapporté 14, par collage au rayonnement ultra-violet 17.The portion 103 of the cover 10, having the internal thread, is fixed inside the reported collar 14, by gluing with ultraviolet radiation 17.

La fixation de la partie 103 se fait sur la totalité de l'intérieur du col rapporté 14 ou partiellement, pour maintenir un jeu destiné à éviter l'effet optique grossissant. Il est à noter que la pièce 103 devrait présenter un rebord supérieur dirigé vers l'intérieur du col pour masquer le jeu entre le cache et le bouton poussoir.The attachment of the portion 103 is on the entire inside of the reported collar 14 or partially, to maintain a game designed to prevent the magnifying optical effect. It should be noted that the piece 103 should have an upper rim directed towards the inside of the neck to hide the clearance between the cover and the push button.

Il est à noter également que le col rapporté 14 peut être décoré également sur sa face intérieure, avant collage de la partie 103 du cache, afin de masquer les collages et les assemblages techniques.It should also be noted that the reported collar 14 can also be decorated on its inside, before gluing the part 103 of the cover, in order to hide the collages and the technical assemblies.

Le flacon en verre 2 est alors rempli de produit.The glass vial 2 is then filled with product.

Le dispositif de distribution 4 est fixé sur le col 3 du flacon 2, afin de le fermer hermétiquement.The dispensing device 4 is fixed on the neck 3 of the bottle 2, in order to seal it hermetically.

Dans le cadre de cet exemple, la partie 104 du cache 10 présente un fond 19 percé d'un trou en son centre dont le diamètre est légèrement supérieur à celui du bouton poussoir 6 pour pouvoir l'insérer dans le trou.In the context of this example, the portion 104 of the cover 10 has a bottom 19 with a hole in its center whose diameter is slightly greater than that of the push button 6 to be inserted into the hole.

Selon une variante, le trou est dimensionné pour livrer passage au tube 7 du dispositif de distribution 4. Ainsi, lors de l'assemblage, le bouton poussoir 6 est retiré pour positionner la partie 104 du cache 10, en introduisant le tube 7 dans le trou traversant le fond 19 de la partie 104 du cache.According to a variant, the hole is dimensioned to allow passage to the tube 7 of the dispensing device 4. Thus, during assembly, the push button 6 is removed to position the portion 104 of the cover 10, by introducing the tube 7 into the hole through the bottom 19 of the portion 104 of the cache.

Puis, le bouton poussoir est repositionné sur le tube 7.Then, the push button is repositioned on the tube 7.

Cette étape de positionnement de la partie 104 du cache peut se faire avant ou après la fixation du dispositif de distribution sur le col 3 en verre du flacon 2.This step of positioning the part 104 of the cover can be done before or after the fixing of the dispensing device on the glass neck 3 of the bottle 2.

Une fois le dispositif de distribution 4, équipé de la partie 104 du cache 10, fixé sur le col 3 du flacon, le col rapporté 14 est vissé sur la partie 104 du cache 10.Once the dispensing device 4, equipped with the portion 104 of the cover 10, fixed on the neck 3 of the bottle, the reported collar 14 is screwed onto the portion 104 of the cover 10.

Un patin 20 en forme de rondelle est positionné entre le col rapporté 14 et la partie supérieure 18 du flacon en verre 2 afin d'amortir le contact verre-verre et afin de compenser les tolérances verrières. La figure 4 montre le dispositif de distribution 1 après assemblage.A washer-shaped pad 20 is positioned between the insert neck 14 and the upper part 18 of the glass bottle 2 in order to damp the glass-to-glass contact and to compensate for the glass tolerances. The figure 4 shows the dispensing device 1 after assembly.

Le patin 20 pourrait également être collé, surmoulé ou moulé avec la partie 103 du cache.The pad 20 could also be glued, overmolded or molded with the part 103 of the cover.

D'autres modes de réalisation conformes à l'invention peuvent également être envisagés, comme ceux montrés en figures 5 et 6, concernant la réalisation d'un col rapporté 14.Other embodiments in accordance with the invention may also be envisaged, such as those shown in FIG. Figures 5 and 6 , concerning the production of a reported collar 14.

La figure 5 montre un col rapporté 14 réalisé préalablement indépendamment du flacon en verre 2.The figure 5 shows a reported collar 14 previously made independently of the glass vial 2.

On remarquera que le flacon 2 ne comporte pas de col 3, mais une ouverture 21 permettant l'introduction de produit dans le flacon 2.It will be noted that the bottle 2 does not have a neck 3, but an opening 21 allowing the introduction of product into the bottle 2.

Le flacon 2 sans col peut être obtenu de la façon suivante : un flacon 2 en verre est réalisé de façon traditionnelle, avec un col en verre. Puis, le col en verre est coupé de façon à obtenir le flacon 2 montré en figure 5.Bottle 2 without collar can be obtained in the following manner: a glass bottle 2 is made in a traditional manner, with a glass neck. Then, the glass neck is cut in order to obtain the bottle 2 shown in figure 5 .

Un cache 105 fonctionnel, capable d'accueillir un dispositif de distribution 14 et permettant de rendre l'assemblage étanche, est fixé à l'intérieur du col 14 rapporté en verre.A functional cover 105, capable of receiving a dispensing device 14 and enabling the assembly to be sealed, is fixed inside the neck 14 which is made of glass.

La fixation se fait par collage 17 au rayonnement ultra-violet, ou tout autre moyen de collage, ou bien encore par insertion par serrage dans le col.Fixing is done by gluing 17 to ultraviolet radiation, or any other means of bonding, or else by insertion by clamping in the neck.

Le cache 105 peut être réalisé en plastique, en métal, et peut être décoré, texturé, chapé métal etc.The cover 105 can be made of plastic, metal, and can be decorated, textured, metal cap etc.

A l'intérieur du col rapporté 14, à l'extrémité du cache 105, on prévoit de disposer un joint annulaire 22, le joint étant par exemple rapporté, biinjecté ou surmoulé au cache 105.Inside the insert collar 14, at the end of the cover 105, provision is made to arrange an annular seal 22, the seal being for example attached, biinjected or overmolded to the cover 105.

Comme il a été vu dans les exemples précédents, le col rapporté 14 ainsi réalisé est assemblé sur la partie supérieure 18 du flacon 2, autour de l'ouverture 21, par collage au rayonnement ultra-violet, collage à chaud, collage par re-fusion du verre, collage avec de l'émail, collage avec fusion de deux plaques métallisées adhésives préalablement collées sur chaque partie du verre, etc. La figure 6 montre l'ensemble flacon en verre 2 / col rapporté 14 après assemblage.As was seen in the previous examples, the reported collar 14 thus produced is assembled on the upper part 18 of the bottle 2, around the opening 21, by ultraviolet radiation bonding, hot bonding, adhesive bonding, melting of the glass, gluing with enamel, gluing with fusion of two adhesive metal plates previously glued on each part of the glass, etc. The figure 6 shows the glass bottle assembly 2/14 reported collar after assembly.

Les exemples qui viennent d'être décrits concernent tous des modes de réalisation suivant lesquels le col du dispositif de distribution conforme à l'invention, dans lequel est positionné le cache 10, est rapporté sur le flacon en verre 2.The examples which have just been described all relate to embodiments according to which the neck of the dispensing device according to the invention, in which the cover 10 is positioned, is attached to the glass bottle 2.

Les figures 7 à 12 qui vont maintenant être décrites concernent des modes de réalisation alternatifs, en dehors de l'envergure de l'invention définie par les revendications, suivant lesquels le flacon en verre ne comporte pas de col rapporté 14.The Figures 7 to 12 which will now be described relate to alternative embodiments, outside the scope of the invention defined by the claims, wherein the glass vial does not have a reported collar 14.

Sur les figures 7 à 12, le flacon en verre 2 comporte un col 23 solidaire, formant une ouverture dans le flacon.On the Figures 7 to 12 , the glass bottle 2 has a neck 23 integral, forming an opening in the bottle.

Le col 23 peut présenter au moins un épaulement interne pour permettre un assemblage fonctionnel du cache 10, le cache 10 pouvant être un cache particulier comme il sera vu par la suite.The neck 23 may have at least one internal shoulder to allow a functional assembly of the cache 10, the cache 10 may be a particular cache as it will be seen later.

L'épaulement interne peut être réalisé au voisinage de l'ouverture du col 23 (voir référence 24 sur les figures 7, 9, 11 et 12). Il peut également être réalisé dans le fond du col 23, à la jonction entre le col 23 et la partie supérieure 18 du flacon en verre 2 (voir référence 25 sur les figures 8, 10 et 11).The internal shoulder may be made in the vicinity of the opening of the neck 23 (see reference 24 on the figures 7 , 9 , 11 and 12 ). It can also be made in the bottom of the neck 23, at the junction between the neck 23 and the upper part 18 of the glass vial 2 (see reference 25 on the figures 8 , 10 and 11 ).

Pour réaliser l'épaulement 25, il suffit de prévoir un col 23 avec une largeur de paroi plus mince.To make the shoulder 25, it is sufficient to provide a neck 23 with a thinner wall width.

Le cache 10, destiné à être positionné dans un col 23 présentant un épaulement près de son extrémité libre, est de forme tubulaire et comporte une extrémité 26 formant un coude radial, dirigé vers l'extérieur du cache 10 (figures 7, 9, 11 et 12). L'extrémité coudée 26 est conçue pour s'insérer dans l'épaulement 24 comme on peut le voir sur les figures 7, 9, 11 et 12.The cover 10, intended to be positioned in a neck 23 having a shoulder near its free end, is tubular in shape and has an end 26 forming a radial bend directed towards the outside of the cover 10 (FIG. figures 7 , 9 , 11 and 12 ). The bent end 26 is designed to fit into the shoulder 24 as can be seen in the figures 7 , 9 , 11 and 12 .

L'extrémité coudée 26 peut, elle-même, comprendre un épaulement 27 orienté vers le col 23 (donc vers l'épaulement 24 du col 23), de sorte que, quand l'extrémité coudée 26 est positionnée dans l'épaulement 24 du col 23, il existe un espace vide annulaire entre l'extrémité coudée 26 et l'épaulement 24 du col 23 en verre.The bent end 26 may, itself, comprise a shoulder 27 oriented towards the neck 23 (and thus towards the shoulder 24 of the neck 23), so that when the bent end 26 is positioned in the shoulder 24 of the 23, there is an annular gap between the bent end 26 and the shoulder 24 of the neck 23 of glass.

Cette espace vide peut être rempli de colle 17 ou de toute autre matière assurant la fixation du cache 10 dans le col 23 (voir figure 7).This empty space may be filled with glue 17 or any other material ensuring the attachment of the cover 10 in the neck 23 (see FIG. figure 7 ).

Pour créer cet espace vide, on peut également positionner dans l'épaulement 24 un joint annulaire plat 28 dont la largeur est inférieure à la largeur de l'épaulement 24 (voir figure 9).To create this empty space, it is also possible to position in the shoulder 24 a flat annular seal 28 whose width is less than the width of the shoulder 24 (see FIG. figure 9 ).

Dans le cas d'un col 23 présentant un double épaulement interne 24 et 25 (figure 11), un autre joint annulaire plat 29 peut être positionné au fond de l'épaulement interne bas 25, et l'extrémité non coudée du cache 10 est positionnée sur le joint annulaire 29 - Un autre système pourrait toutefois être prévu, pourvu qu'il garantisse une étanchéité au produit contenu dans la flacon (par exemple en plastique surmoulé avec le cache 10, le plastique assurant une fonction de joint étanche). En réduisant l'épaisseur de la partie coudée 26 ou en augmentant la profondeur de l'épaulement haut 24, on peut créer un espace vide entre l'extrémité coudée 26 du cache 10 et le fond de l'épaulement 24. Comme montré en figure 11, cet espace vide peut être rempli de colle 17.In the case of a neck 23 having a double internal shoulder 24 and 25 ( figure 11 ), another flat annular seal 29 may be positioned at the bottom of the lower internal shoulder 25, and the non-bent end of the cover 10 is positioned on the annular seal 29 - Another system could however be provided, provided that it ensures a seal to the product contained in the bottle (for example plastic overmolded with the cover 10, the plastic providing a seal function). By reducing the thickness of the bent portion 26 or increasing the depth of the high shoulder 24, a gap can be created between the bent end 26 of the cover 10 and the bottom of the shoulder 24. As shown in FIG. figure 11 this empty space can be filled with glue 17.

On peut encore, comme illustré en figure 12, prévoir une hauteur de cache 10 suffisante pour couvrir toute la hauteur du col 23, et prévoir une partie coudée 26 peu épaisse pour laisser un espace vide entre la partie coudée 26 et le fond de l'épaulement 24.We can still, as illustrated in figure 12 , provide a height of cover 10 sufficient to cover the entire height of the neck 23, and provide a bent portion 26 thin to leave a gap between the bent portion 26 and the bottom of the shoulder 24.

Dans cet exemple, on crée un second espace vide entre le cache 10 et le col en verre 23 en positionnant un joint 30 entre la surface interne du col 23 et la surface externe du cache 10.In this example, a second empty space is created between the cover 10 and the glass neck 23 by positioning a seal 30 between the inner surface of the neck 23 and the outer surface of the cover 10.

Le joint 30 (ou système d'étanchéité) est positionné, comme montré en figure 12, à l'extrémité non coudée du cache 10.The seal 30 (or sealing system) is positioned, as shown in FIG. figure 12 , at the undeless end of the cover 10.

La figure 10 montre encore un autre mode alternatif de réalisation, suivant lequel un joint 29 annulaire est positionné au fond de l'épaulement bas 25. L'épaisseur du joint 29 est sensiblement identique à celle du cache 10, de sorte que, quand le cache est positionné au-dessus du joint 29, les surfaces internes du joint 29 et du cache 10 sont dans la continuité l'une de l'autre.The figure 10 shows yet another alternative embodiment, according to which an annular seal 29 is positioned at the bottom of the low shoulder 25. The thickness of the seal 29 is substantially identical to that of the cover 10, so that when the cover is positioned above the gasket 29, the inner surfaces of the gasket 29 and the gasket 10 are in continuity with one another.

Sur les figures 8 et 10, le cache 10 est fixé dans le col 23 par collage 17 entre la surface externe du cache et la surface interne du col 23 en verre.On the figures 8 and 10 , the cover 10 is fixed in the neck 23 by bonding 17 between the outer surface of the cover and the inner surface of the neck 23 of glass.

Le procédé de réalisation des exemples illustrés en figures 7 à 12 est maintenant décrit : L'intérieur du col 23 est structuré, c'est-à-dire qu'il est réalisé de sorte à créer au moins un épaulement interne 24 ou 25. Cette structure intérieure avec épaulement 24 et/ou 25 est réalisée dans le moule de bague lors du procédé de fabrication du flacon, par exemple, ou par usinage etc.The method for producing the examples illustrated in Figures 7 to 12 is now described: The inside of the neck 23 is structured, that is to say that it is made so as to create at least one internal shoulder 24 or 25. This inner structure with shoulder 24 and / or 25 is realized in the ring mold during the manufacturing process of the bottle, for example, or by machining etc.

Le cache 10 fonctionnel est réalisé indépendamment, dans une matière capable de créer l'étanchéité entre le produit contenu dans le flacon et le col 23, de façon à protéger le collage par rayonnement ultra-violet, entre autres.The functional cover 10 is made independently, in a material capable of creating the seal between the product contained in the bottle and the neck 23, so as to protect the ultraviolet radiation bonding, among others.

Le joint 28, 29 ou 30 est assemblé mécaniquement afin d'assurer l'étanchéité du collage. Il peut être surmoulé ou biinjecté au cache 10 ou être assemblé mécaniquement.The seal 28, 29 or 30 is assembled mechanically to seal the bonding. It can be overmoulded or biinjected to the cover 10 or be assembled mechanically.

On notera que dans les modes de réalisation décrits le flacon et le col sont réalisés en verre mais on reste dans le cadre de l'invention en utilisant d'autres matériaux, notamment des matières plastiques.Note that in the embodiments described the bottle and neck are made of glass but it remains within the scope of the invention using other materials, including plastics.
