A un moment déterminé par l’utilisateur, le contenu de la capsule, à savoir le deuxième fluide, peut être libéré afin de permettre un mélange entre le premier fluide, présent à l’intérieur du récipient, et le deuxième fluide. Capsules adapted to provide a space for containing a second fluid have already been disclosed in the prior art. At a time determined by the user, the contents of the capsule, namely the second fluid, can be released to allow mixing between the first fluid, present inside the container, and the second fluid.
Une première utilisation connue de l’art antérieur consiste à utiliser un récipient contenant un fluide, de type cosmétique, en combinaison avec une capsule dans laquelle est emballée un actif. Pour des raisons d’efficacité, il peut s’avérer avantageux de mélanger l’actif et le fluide cosmétique juste avant leur utilisation. En d’autres termes, l’utilisateur peut choisir le moment où il mélange l’actif avec le fluide cosmétique et appliquer, directement après le mélange, ledit fluide sur sa peau. Des actifs, particulièrement adaptés pour être emballés dans des emballages de ce type, peuvent se présenter sous un état pur soit acide soit corrosif. Il est primordial d’éviter tout contact direct entre la peau de l’utilisateur et actif de ce type. A first use known from the prior art consists in using a container containing a fluid, of cosmetic type, in combination with a capsule in which an active ingredient is packaged. For reasons of effectiveness, it may prove to be advantageous to mix the active ingredient and the cosmetic fluid just before their use. In other words, the user can choose the moment when he mixes the active ingredient with the cosmetic fluid and applies, directly after mixing, said fluid to his skin. Active ingredients, particularly suitable for being packaged in packaging of this type, can be in a pure state, either acidic or corrosive. It is essential to avoid any direct contact between the user's skin and active agent of this type.
L’utilisation d’un récipient contenant un premier fluide et d’une capsule contenant un actif présente un autre inconvénient dans le cas où l’un des deux fluides est contaminé avant que le mélange ne soit réalisé. The use of a container containing a first fluid and of a capsule containing an active has another drawback in the event that one of the two fluids is contaminated before the mixing is carried out.
Pour les raisons exposées ci-dessus, il existe un besoin de proposer de nouvelles solutions permettant d’assurer un mélange optimal et sûr d’un premier fluide, contenu à l’intérieur d’un récipient, et d’un deuxième fluide, contenu à l’intérieur d’une capsule, adapté pour être mélangé audit premier fluide contenu à l’intérieur dudit récipient. For the reasons explained above, there is a need to propose new solutions making it possible to ensure optimal and safe mixing of a first fluid, contained inside a container, and a second fluid, contained within a container. inside a capsule, adapted to be mixed with said first fluid contained inside said container.

La figure 1 montre un récipient 1 adapté pour contenir un premier fluide. Le récipient 1 , en principe adapté pour contenir tout type de fluide, est particulièrement adapté pour contenir un fluide cosmétique, par exemple un fluide adapté pour être appliqué sur la peau d’un utilisateur. Figure 1 shows a container 1 adapted to contain a first fluid. The container 1, in principle suitable for containing any type of fluid, is particularly suitable for containing a cosmetic fluid, for example a fluid suitable for being applied to the skin of a user.
Le récipient 1 comprend une ouverture 2 adaptée pour remplir ledit récipient 1 avec le premier fluide. Le récipient 1 est pourvu, à proximité de l’ouverture 2, de moyens de fixation, tel qu’un filetage 3, permettant de fixer un élément de protection 4 sur ledit récipient 1. The container 1 comprises an opening 2 adapted to fill said container 1 with the first fluid. The container 1 is provided, near the opening 2, with fixing means, such as a thread 3, allowing a protective element 4 to be fixed on said container 1.
La figure 2 montre l’extérieur de l’ensemble composé d’une capsule 10 selon l’invention sur lequel est monté un bouchon 5 en combinaison avec un élément de sécurité 6. Ledit élément de sécurité peut être positionné sur la capsule 10 pour la protéger pendant le stockage et le transport de ladite capsule 10. Comme indiqué à l’aide de la flèche 7, l’élément de sécurité 6, amovible, peut être retiré avant l’utilisation de la capsule 10. Figure 2 shows the exterior of the assembly consisting of a capsule 10 according to the invention on which is mounted a cap 5 in combination with a security element 6. Said security element can be positioned on the capsule 10 for the protect during storage and transport of said capsule 10. As indicated using the arrow 7, the removable security element 6 can be removed before the capsule 10 is used.
La figure 3 illustre, de façon schématique, la fixation de la capsule 10 à l’aide du bouchon 5 sur le récipient 1. Ladite capsule 10 est dimensionnée de manière à permettre son introduction à l’intérieur de l’ouverture 2 du récipient 1 et sa fixation à l’intérieur de ladite ouverture 2. Comme expliqué plus en détail ci-dessous, la capsule 10 est tout d’abord positionnée dans l’ouverture 2. Un filetage 51 présent à l’intérieur du bouchon 5 permet, en combinaison avec ledit filetage 3 présent sur l’extérieur du récipient 1 , de fixer le bouchon 5 sur ledit récipient 1 et d’enfoncer, simultanément, la capsule 10 vers l’intérieur du récipient 1. L’élément de sécurité 6, tel que montré sur la figure 2, est retiré de la capsule 10, et ce avant la fixation de la capsule 10 à l’intérieur de l’ouverture 2 du récipient 1. Ledit élément de sécurité est utilisé pendant le stockage et le transport de la capsule 10 afin de protéger celle-ci d’une éventuelle contamination par des éléments extérieurs indésirables. FIG. 3 schematically illustrates the fixing of the capsule 10 by means of the stopper 5 on the container 1. Said capsule 10 is dimensioned so as to allow its introduction inside the opening 2 of the container 1. and its fixing inside said opening 2. As explained in more detail below, the cap 10 is first of all positioned in the opening 2. A thread 51 present inside the cap 5 allows, in combination with said thread 3 present on the outside of the container 1, to fix the stopper 5 on the said container 1 and to push, simultaneously, the cap 10 towards the inside of the container 1. The security element 6, such as shown in figure 2, is removed from the capsule 10, and this before the fixing of the capsule 10 inside the opening 2 of the container 1. Said security element is used during storage and transport of the capsule. 10 in order to protect it from possible contamination by external elements unwanted.
Par ailleurs, il convient de noter que l’élément de protection 4, tel qu’illustré sur la figure 1 doit être retiré dudit récipient 1 avant la fixation de la capsule 10 à l’intérieur de l’ouverture 2 du récipient 1. L’élément de protection 4 sert à protéger le contenu du récipient 1 d’une potentielle contamination par des éléments extérieurs indésirables avant la fixation de la capsule 10 dans l’ouverture 2 du récipient 1. Furthermore, it should be noted that the protective element 4, as illustrated in FIG. 1 must be removed from said container 1 before fixing the capsule 10 inside the opening 2 of the container 1. L The protective element 4 serves to protect the contents of the container 1 from potential contamination by unwanted external elements before the capsule 10 is fixed in the opening 2 of the container 1.
La figure 4 représente une vue détaillée, en coupe, de la fixation de la capsule 10 sur le récipient 1. La figure 4 illustre le récipient 1 dont l’intérieur est pourvu d’un premier fluide 31. La capsule 10, adaptée pour obturer l’ouverture 2 du récipient 1 est introduite dans ladite ouverture 2. Selon le mode de réalisation représenté sur la figure 4, la capsule 10 comprend un premier élément 1 1 dont les dimensions garantissent une connexion étanche optimale entre la paroi intérieure du récipient 1 et la paroi extérieure 12 dudit premier élément 1 1 de ladite capsule 10 dès lors que celui-ci est inséré à l’intérieur de l’ouverture 2. Le premier élément 11 de la capsule 10 présente essentiellement la forme d’un cylindre comprenant une paroi extérieure 12 pourvue en son extrémité supérieure d’une paroi d’appui 13. La paroi d’appui 13 de ladite paroi extérieure 12, ayant pour fonction d’entrer en contact avec le rebord de l’ouverture 2 du récipient 1 , détermine l’enfoncement maximal de la capsule 10 vers l’intérieur dudit récipient 1. Le premier élément 1 1 est pourvu d’une paroi inférieure 14 comprenant au moins un orifice 15 permettant l’écoulement du deuxième fluide contenu dans la capsule 10, après son ouverture. Un élément cylindrique 16, positionné sur la paroi 14, est pourvu en son extrémité supérieure d’un opercule 17, lequel opercule 17 permet d’éviter que le deuxième fluide 32, contenu dans la capsule 10, ne puisse s’écouler de ladite capsule 10 avant son ouverture. FIG. 4 represents a detailed view, in section, of the fixing of the capsule 10 on the container 1. FIG. 4 illustrates the container 1, the interior of which is provided with a first fluid 31. The capsule 10, adapted to seal the opening 2 of the container 1 is introduced into said opening 2. According to the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, the capsule 10 comprises a first element 1 1, the dimensions of which guarantee an optimum sealed connection between the inner wall of the container 1 and the outer wall 12 of said first element 1 1 of said capsule 10 when the latter is inserted inside the opening 2. The first element 11 of the capsule 10 has essentially the shape of a cylinder comprising an outer wall 12 provided at its upper end with a bearing wall 13. The bearing wall 13 of said outer wall 12, having the function to come into contact with the rim of the opening 2 of the container 1, determines the maximum depression of the capsule 10 towards the interior of said container 1. The first element 1 1 is provided with a lower wall 14 comprising at least an orifice 15 allowing the flow of the second fluid contained in the capsule 10, after its opening. A cylindrical element 16, positioned on the wall 14, is provided at its upper end with a cover 17, which cover 17 makes it possible to prevent the second fluid 32, contained in the capsule 10, from being able to flow from said capsule. 10 before it opens.
La capsule 10 est pourvue d’un deuxième élément 21 , essentiellement de forme cylindrique, disposant d’une paroi extérieure 22. Ledit deuxième élément 21 comprend, en son extrémité supérieure, une paroi supérieure 24 en forme de distributeur, ladite paroi 24 étant pourvue d’une ouverture supérieure 25. La paroi supérieure 24 du deuxième élément 21 forme, en combinaison avec ladite ouverture 25, un distributeur pour le récipient 1 dès lors que la capsule 10 est déplacée, de sa position initiale telle qu’illustrée sur la figure 4 vers sa position d’ouverture telle qu’illustrée sur la figure 5. The capsule 10 is provided with a second element 21, essentially of cylindrical shape, having an outer wall 22. Said second element 21 comprises, at its upper end, an upper wall 24 in the form of a distributor, said wall 24 being provided with an upper opening 25. The upper wall 24 of the second element 21 forms, in combination with said opening 25, a distributor for the container 1 as soon as the capsule 10 is moved, from its initial position as illustrated in FIG. 4 towards its open position as illustrated in FIG. 5.
Un percuteur 26, de forme essentiellement cylindrique, est présent sur la paroi supérieure 24, à l’intérieur du deuxième élément 21. Une représentation détaillée de la forme du percuteur 26 est illustrée sur la figure 5. Comme représenté sur la figure 4, et avant que la capsule 10 ne soit ouverte, le distributeur formé par la paroi supérieure 24 du deuxième élément 21 et l’ouverture 25 est obturé à l’aide d’un bouchon 5. A striker 26, of substantially cylindrical shape, is present on the top wall 24, inside the second element 21. A detailed representation of the shape of the striker 26 is shown in Figure 5. As shown in Figure 4, and before the capsule 10 is opened, the distributor formed by the upper wall 24 of the second element 21 and the opening 25 is closed with a plug 5.
La figure 4 illustre la capsule 10 dans sa première position initiale selon laquelle le fluide 32, contenu à l’intérieur de ladite capsule 10, ne peut se mélanger avec le premier fluide 31 présent à l’intérieur du récipient 1. Ceci est garanti par la présence de l’opercule 17 qui assure une étanchéité empêchant le fluide 32 de s’écouler de la capsule 10. Le premier élément 1 1 et le deuxième élément 21 , tels que représentés sur la figure 4 délimitent ensemble un volume permettant de recevoir le deuxième fluide 32. Selon la position initiale de la capsule 10, tel que montré sur la figure 4, le premier élément 1 1 et le deuxième élément 21 délimitent ensemble un premier volume et peuvent se déplacer l’un par rapport à l’autre vers une deuxième position d’ouverture de ladite capsule 10 telle que montrée sur la figure 5. FIG. 4 illustrates the capsule 10 in its first initial position according to which the fluid 32, contained inside said capsule 10, cannot mix with the first fluid 31 present inside the container 1. This is guaranteed by the presence of the cover 17 which provides a seal preventing the fluid 32 from flowing from the capsule 10. The first element 11 and the second element 21, as shown in Figure 4 together define a volume for receiving the second fluid 32. According to the initial position of the capsule 10, as shown in Figure 4, the first element January 1 and the second element 21 together define a first volume and can move relative to each other to a second open position of said capsule 10 as shown in Figure 5.
Tel qu’illustré sur la figure 5, le volume délimité par l’ensemble composé du premier élément 11 et du deuxième élément 21 , selon la position d’ouverture de la capsule 10, est restreint par rapport au volume délimité selon la position initiale de ladite capsule 10. Selon la position d’ouverture de la capsule 10, tel que représenté sur la figure 5, l’opercule 17 a été ouvert avec le bord inférieur du percuteur 26, permettant ainsi l’écoulement du deuxième fluide 32 hors de la capsule 10 et son mélange avec le premier fluide 31 présent à l’intérieur du récipient 1. Pour des raisons de clarté, l’exemple illustré sur la figure 5 montre la présence du deuxième fluide 32 au-dessus de la surface du premier fluide 31. Afin d’assurer un mélange optimal du premier fluide 31 et du deuxième fluide 32, l’utilisateur peut agiter l’ensemble du récipient 1 et du bouchon 5 avant l’utilisation dudit mélange. As illustrated in FIG. 5, the volume delimited by the assembly composed of the first element 11 and of the second element 21, according to the opening position of the capsule 10, is restricted with respect to the volume delimited according to the initial position of said capsule 10. Depending on the opening position of capsule 10, as shown in FIG. 5, the cover 17 has been opened with the lower edge of the striker 26, thus allowing the flow of the second fluid 32 out of the capsule 10 and its mixture with the first fluid 31 present inside the container 1. For reasons of clarity, the example illustrated in FIG. 5 shows the presence of the second fluid 32 above the surface of the first fluid 31 In order to ensure optimum mixing of the first fluid 31 and of the second fluid 32, the user can agitate the assembly of the container 1 and the stopper 5 before the use of said mixture.
Selon l’exemple illustré sur les figures 4 et 5, le premier élément 11 est inséré au maximum à l’intérieur de l’ouverture 2 du récipient 1. La distance maximale opérée lors de l’insertion du premier élément 1 1 à l’intérieur du récipient 1 est déterminée par la présence de la paroi d’appui 13 qui est entrée en contact avec le rebord supérieur dudit récipient 1. Dès lors que le premier élément 1 1 est fixé sur ledit rebord supérieur du récipient 1 , le deuxième élément 21 est déplacé en direction du premier élément 1 1 à l’aide du bouchon 5. Comme illustré sur les figures 4 et 5, l’intérieur dudit bouchon 5 est pourvu d’un filetage 51 adapté pour coopérer avec le filetage 3 présent à l’extérieur du récipient 1. En faisant avancer le bouchon 5, la paroi supérieure 52 de ce dernier exerce une pression sur le deuxième élément 21 , déplaçant ainsi celui-ci en direction de l’intérieur du récipient 1. L’opercule 17, tel qu’illustré sur la figure 4, est ouvert grâce à la présence du percuteur 26. Cela signifie que la séparation, évitant au deuxième fluide 32 de s’écouler hors de la capsule 10, est retirée de sorte que ledit fluide 32 peut alors s’écouler de ladite capsule 10 vers l’intérieur du récipient 1. According to the example illustrated in Figures 4 and 5, the first element 11 is inserted to the maximum inside the opening 2 of the container 1. The maximum distance operated during the insertion of the first element 1 1 to the interior of the container 1 is determined by the presence of the support wall 13 which has come into contact with the upper rim of said container 1. As soon as the first element 1 1 is fixed on said upper rim of the container 1, the second element 21 is moved in the direction of the first element 1 1 using the plug 5. As illustrated in Figures 4 and 5, the interior of said plug 5 is provided with a thread 51 adapted to cooperate with the thread 3 present in the 'exterior of the container 1. By advancing the stopper 5, the upper wall 52 of the latter exerts a pressure on the second element 21, thus moving the latter towards the interior of the container 1. The cover 17, such as shown in Figure 4, is open thanks to the presence of the striker 26. This means that the separation, preventing the second fluid 32 from flowing out of the capsule 10, is removed so that said fluid 32 can then flow from said capsule 10 towards the interior of the container 1.
Comme illustré sur la figure 5, l’ensemble composé du premier élément 1 1 et du deuxième élément 21 de la capsule 10, forme un distributeur pour le récipient 1 adapté pour distribuer le contenu dudit récipient 1 vers l’extérieur. De ce fait, une fois que la capsule 10 est ouverte, si l’utilisateur retire le bouchon 5, l’ensemble du premier élément 1 1 et du deuxième élément 21 de la capsule 10 reste fixé dans l’ouverture 2 du récipient 1. Selon un mode de réalisation, la paroi extérieure du récipient 1 conserve une certaine flexibilité ce qui permet à l’utilisateur d’exercer une certaine pression avec ses doigts sur le contenu du récipient 1 , libérant ainsi une quantité déterminée de fluide vers l’extérieur. As illustrated in Figure 5, the assembly consisting of the first element 11 and the second element 21 of the capsule 10, forms a dispenser for the container 1 adapted to distribute the contents of said container 1 to the outside. Therefore, once the cap 10 is open, if the user removes the cap 5, the assembly of the first element 1 1 and of the second element 21 of the cap 10 remains fixed in the opening 2 of the container 1. According to one embodiment, the outer wall of the container 1 retains a certain flexibility which allows the user to exert a certain pressure with his fingers on the contents of the container 1, thus releasing a determined quantity of fluid to the outside. .
La figure 6 montre, de façon schématique, le remplissage de la capsule 10 selon les figures 4 et 5. Tout d’abord, le deuxième élément 21 de la capsule 10 est positionné à l’intérieur du bouchon 5. Selon cette position, l’ouverture 25 dans la paroi supérieure 24 du deuxième élément 21 , ledit deuxième élément 21 est prêt à être rempli avec le deuxième fluide 32. Lorsque le deuxième fluide 32 est reçu à l’intérieur du deuxième élément 21 de la capsule 10, le premier élément 1 1 est positionné sur le deuxième élément 21. Pendant cet assemblage, la paroi extérieure 22 du deuxième élément 21 est reçue entre, respectivement, la paroi extérieure 12 du premier élément 1 1 et l’élément cylindrique 16 dudit premier élément 1 1. Le premier élément 11 et le deuxième élément 21 sont insérés l’un dans l’autre jusqu’à l’obtention d’une connexion étanche entre lesdits deux éléments 1 1 , 12 tout en s’assurant que l’opercule 17 ne puisse être percé par le percuteur 26. Dès lors que l’assemblage, illustré sur la figure 6, est réalisé, l’ensemble composé de la capsule 10 et du bouchon 5 peut être complété à l’aide d’un élément de sécurité 6 pour le transport et le stockage de ladite capsule 10, tel qu’illustré sur la figure 7. La figure 8 représente une capsule 1 10 selon un deuxième mode de réalisation de l’invention. La capsule 110 comprend un premier élément 1 1 1 et un deuxième élément 121 , mobiles l’un par rapport à l’autre. A l’intérieur, le premier élément 1 11 et le deuxième élément 121 délimitent un espace destiné à recevoir un deuxième fluide 132. Selon le mode de réalisation illustré sur la figure 8, le deuxième fluide 132 est emballé dans une cartouche 150. Ladite cartouche 150 est obturée à l’aide d’un opercule 1 17. Comme décrit de façon plus détaillée ci- dessous, ledit opercule 1 17 est adapté pour être percé à l’aide d’un percuteur 1 18 fixé sur la paroi inférieure 1 14 du premier élément 11 1. Figure 6 shows, schematically, the filling of the capsule 10 according to Figures 4 and 5. First, the second element 21 of the capsule 10 is positioned inside the cap 5. According to this position, the 'opening 25 in the top wall 24 of the second member 21, said second member 21 is ready to be filled with the second fluid 32. When the second fluid 32 is received inside the second member 21 of the capsule 10, the first element 1 1 is positioned on the second element 21. During this assembly, the outer wall 22 of the second element 21 is received between, respectively, the outer wall 12 of the first element 1 1 and the cylindrical element 16 of said first element 11. The first element 11 and the second element 21 are inserted into one another until a sealed connection is obtained between said two elements 1 1, 12 while ensuring that the cap 17 cannot be pierced by the striker 26. As soon as the assembly, illust d in Figure 6, is realized, the assembly consisting of the capsule 10 and the cap 5 can be completed using a security element 6 for the transport and storage of said capsule 10, as illustrated in figure 7. FIG. 8 shows a capsule 1 10 according to a second embodiment of the invention. The capsule 110 comprises a first element 1 1 1 and a second element 121, movable relative to each other. Inside, the first element 11 and the second element 121 define a space intended to receive a second fluid 132. According to the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 8, the second fluid 132 is packaged in a cartridge 150. Said cartridge 150 is closed using a cover 1 17. As described in more detail below, said cover 1 17 is adapted to be pierced using a striker 1 18 fixed on the lower wall 1 14 of the first element 11 1.
La figure 8 illustre la capsule 1 10 selon une première position initiale selon laquelle le deuxième fluide 132, contenu dans la cartouche 150, ne peut se mélanger avec le premier fluide 131 présent dans le récipient 101 sur laquelle est positionnée la capsule 1 10. Figure 8 illustrates the capsule 1 10 according to a first initial position according to which the second fluid 132, contained in the cartridge 150, can not mix with the first fluid 131 present in the container 101 on which the capsule 1 10 is positioned.
Le premier élément 1 11 est pourvu d’une paroi d’appui 1 13 adaptée pour entrer en contact avec le bord supérieur du récipient 101. Avant utilisation, le premier élément 1 1 1 de la capsule 1 10 est introduit à l’intérieur du récipient jusqu’à ce que ladite paroi d’appui 113 soit en contact avec ledit rebord supérieur du récipient 101. La capsule 110 peut se déplacer, de sa position initiale telle que montrée sur la figure 8, en direction d’une deuxième position d’ouverture telle qu’illustrée sur la figure 9. Selon l’exemple illustré sur la figure 8, le deuxième élément 121 est mobile en direction du premier élément 1 1 1 à l’aide du bouchon 105. La paroi supérieure 152 est adaptée pour exercer une force sur l’extrémité supérieure du deuxième élément 121 afin d’insérer ledit deuxième élément 121 vers l’intérieur du premier élément 1 11 de la capsule 110. Tel qu’illustré sur la figure 8, l’intérieur du bouchon 5 est pourvu d’un filetage 151 , lequel filetage 151 peut coopérer avec le filetage 103 présent sur l’extérieur, à proximité de l’ouverture du récipient 101. The first element 1 11 is provided with a support wall 1 13 adapted to come into contact with the upper edge of the container 101. Before use, the first element 1 1 1 of the capsule 1 10 is introduced inside the container until said supporting wall 113 is in contact with said upper rim of container 101. The capsule 110 can move, from its initial position as shown in FIG. 8, towards a second position d 'opening as illustrated in Figure 9. According to the example illustrated in Figure 8, the second element 121 is movable in the direction of the first element 1 1 1 using the plug 105. The upper wall 152 is suitable for exert a force on the upper end of the second element 121 in order to insert said second element 121 towards the interior of the first element 11 of the capsule 110. As illustrated in FIG. 8, the interior of the stopper 5 is provided with a thread 151, which thread 151 can cooperate with the fi lettering 103 on the outside, near the opening of the container 101.
L’intérieur du deuxième élément 121 est pourvu de poussoirs de guidage 126, 127, lesquels poussoirs de guidage 126, 127 ont pour fonction d’avancer la cartouche 150 en direction du percuteur 1 18 dès que ledit deuxième élément 121 se déplace en direction du premier élément 11 1 de la capsule 1 10. De ce fait, la cartouche 150 suffisamment avancée, le percuteur 118 percute l’opercule 1 17, libérant ainsi le deuxième fluide 132 et permettant le mélange dudit deuxième fluide 132 et du premier fluide 131 présent é l’intérieur du récipient 101. La paroi inférieure 1 14 du premier élément 1 11 est pourvue d’au moins un orifice 1 15 qui permettent ainsi au deuxième fluide 132 de pénétrer à l’intérieur du récipient 101. The interior of the second element 121 is provided with guide pushers 126, 127, which guide pushers 126, 127 have the function of advancing the cartridge 150 in the direction of the striker 1 18 as soon as said second element 121 moves in the direction of the first element 11 1 of the capsule 1 10. As a result, the cartridge 150 sufficiently advanced, the striker 118 strikes the cover 1 17, thus releasing the second fluid 132 and allowing the mixture of said second fluid 132 and of the first fluid 131 present inside the container 101. The lower wall 1 14 of the first element 1 11 is provided with at least one orifice 1 15 which thus allow the second fluid 132 to penetrate inside the container 101.
Comme illustré sur la figure 8, la paroi supérieure 124 du deuxième élément 121 présente une forme de distributeur et dispose d’une ouverture 125 en son extrémité. Lorsque la capsule 1 10 se trouve dans sa deuxième position d’ouverture, tel que montré sur la figure 9, la forme pointue de la paroi supérieure 124 et l’ouverture 125 forment ensemble un distributeur pour le contenu du récipient 101. As illustrated in Figure 8, the upper wall 124 of the second element 121 has the shape of a distributor and has an opening 125 at its end. When the capsule 110 is in its second open position, as shown in Figure 9, the pointed shape of the top wall 124 and the opening 125 together form a distributor for the contents of the container 101.
La figure 9 représente la capsule 1 10 selon sa deuxième position d’ouverture selon laquelle le deuxième élément 121 est inséré au maximum à l’intérieur du premier élément 11 1 de ladite capsule 1 10. Le volume délimité par le premier élément 1 1 1 et le deuxième élément 121 , selon la deuxième position d’ouverture illustrée sur la figure 9, est beaucoup plus restreint que le volume délimité, selon la position initiale illustrée sur la figure 8, par le premier élément 11 1 et le deuxième élément 121. Selon la figure 8, il est clairement visible que le percuteur 1 18 est complètement inséré à l’intérieur de la capsule 150. L’opercule 117 (non visible sur la figure 9) est complètement ouvert à l’aide du percuteur 1 18. Le deuxième fluide 132 s’écoule à l’intérieur du récipient 101 grâce aux orifices 115 situés sur la paroi inférieure 1 14 du premier élément 1 1 1. Selon l’exemple illustré sur la figure 9, le deuxième fluide 132 est représenté comme une couche indépendante superposée sur le premier fluide 131 présent à l’intérieur du récipient 101. En pratique, le premier fluide 131 et le deuxième fluide 132 sont adaptés pour être mélangés. Avant d’expulser le produit mélangé, l’utilisateur peut secouer le récipient 101 afin d’assurer un mélange optimal dudit premier fluide 131 et dudit deuxième fluide 132. Afin d’expulser du fluide vers l’extérieur du récipient 101 , selon la deuxième position de la capsule 110 telle qu’illustrée sur la figure 9, l’utilisateur doit tout d’abord ôter le bouchon 105. Dès que celui-ci est retiré, la capsule 1 10 reste fixée dans l’ouverture du récipient 101. Lorsque le bouchon 105 est retiré, l’ouverture 125 située dans la partie pointue de la paroi 124 du deuxième élément 121 est libre et peut servir à distribuer le contenu du récipient 101. Figure 9 shows the capsule 1 10 according to its second open position according to which the second element 121 is inserted as far as possible inside the first element 11 1 of said capsule 1 10. The volume delimited by the first element 1 1 1 and the second element 121, according to the second open position illustrated in FIG. 9, is much smaller than the volume delimited, according to the initial position illustrated in FIG. 8, by the first element 11 1 and the second element 121. According to Figure 8, it is clearly visible that the striker 1 18 is completely inserted inside the capsule 150. The cap 117 (not visible in Figure 9) is fully opened using the striker 1 18. The second fluid 132 flows inside the container 101 through the orifices 115 located on the lower wall 1 14 of the first element 1 1 1. According to the example illustrated in FIG. 9, the second fluid 132 is shown as a independent layer superimposed on the first fluid 131 present inside the container 101. In practice, the first fluid 131 and the second fluid 132 are adapted to be mixed. Before expelling the mixed product, the user can shake the container 101 in order to ensure optimum mixing of said first fluid 131 and said second fluid 132. In order to expel fluid to the outside of container 101, according to the second position of the cap 110 as illustrated in Figure 9, the user must first remove the cap 105. As soon as the latter is removed, the cap 1 10 remains fixed in the opening of the container 101. When the cap 105 is removed, the opening 125 located in the pointed part of the wall 124 of the second element 121 is free and can be used to dispense the contents of the container 101.
Selon le mode de réalisation de cet exemple, la paroi extérieure du récipient 101 peut être flexible pour permettre à l’utilisateur d’exercer une pression avec ses doigts sur l’extérieur dudit récipient 101 et libérer ainsi une quantité déterminée de fluide vers l’extérieur du récipient 101. According to the embodiment of this example, the outer wall of the container 101 may be flexible to allow the user to exert pressure with his fingers on the outside of said container 101 and thus release a determined quantity of fluid towards the exterior of container 101.
Afin d’expulser une quantité de fluide, celui-ci s’écoule au travers d’ouvertures 1 16 situées sur la paroi extérieure du premier élément 11 1. La cartouche 1 15 étant fermement appliquée contre la paroi inférieure 1 14 du premier élément 1 11 , il n’existe aucun risque pour l’utilisateur que le deuxième fluide 132 puisse s’écouler du récipient 101 sans être tout d’abord mélangé au premier fluide 131. Cela signifie que la capsule 1 10 permet d’éviter que le deuxième fluide 132, dans son état pur, ne s’écoule dudit récipient 101. In order to expel a quantity of fluid, it flows through openings 1 16 located on the outer wall of the first element 11 1. The cartridge 1 15 being firmly applied against the lower wall 1 14 of the first element 1 11, there is no risk for the user that the second fluid 132 can flow from the container 101 without first being mixed with the first fluid 131. This means that the capsule 1 10 prevents the second fluid 132, in its pure state, does not flow from said container 101.
La figure 10 montre une vue schématique de l’assemblage d’une capsule 110 selon l’invention. Le deuxième élément 121 de la capsule 110 est tout d’abord positionné et fixé à l’intérieur du bouchon 105, puis une cartouche 150 est positionnée à l’intérieur du deuxième élément 121. L’ensemble est ensuite complété d’un premier élément 11 1 positionné quant à lui sur l’extérieur dudit deuxième élément 121. Comme illustrée sur la figure 11 , et ce pour des raisons de sécurité, un élément de sécurité 106 peut être positionné sur la capsule 110 afin d’éviter une potentielle contamination lors du stockage ou du transport de ladite capsule 1 10. Figure 10 shows a schematic view of the assembly of a capsule 110 according to the invention. The second element 121 of the capsule 110 is first of all positioned and fixed inside the stopper 105, then a cartridge 150 is positioned inside the second element 121. The assembly is then completed with a first element. 11 1 positioned on the outside of said second element 121. As illustrated in Figure 11, and for security reasons, a security element 106 can be positioned on the capsule 110 to avoid potential contamination during storage or transport of said capsule 1 10.
