Description

DISPOSITIF DE CONDITIONNEMENT PERMETTANT DE CONTROLER LA CONDITIONING DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING THE
LIBERATION D'UN PRODUITRELEASE OF A PRODUCT
L'invention concerne le domaine du conditionnement (packaging) . En particulier, la présente invention concerne un dispositif de conditionnement d'un produit permettant de contrôler la libération dudit produit ainsi que le procédé de fabrication dudit dispositif de conditionnement.The invention relates to the field of packaging (packaging). In particular, the present invention relates to a device for packaging a product for controlling the release of said product and the method of manufacturing said packaging device.
II existe un certain nombre de situations dans laquelle le contrôle de la. libération d' un produit contenu dans un conditionnement adapté à la vente est souhaité. Par exemple, ' il est préféré de contrôler la libération de petits objets, du type graines, semences, vis, bonbons pour éviter leur perte par l'utilisateur. Au sens de la présente invention, un dispositif de conditionnement d'un produit correspond à tout dispositif destiné à faciliter la protection, la conservation, la présentation, la vente, la mise à disposition ainsi que l'utilisation dudit produit.There are a number of situations in which control of the. release of a product contained in a packaging suitable for sale is desired. For example, it is preferred to control the release of small objects, the kind seeds, seeds, screws, candy to avoid the loss by the user. For the purposes of the present invention, a device for packaging a product corresponds to any device intended to facilitate the protection, preservation, presentation, sale, provision and use of said product.
Les dispositifs de conditionnement d'un produit permettant le contrôle de la libération dudit produit sont notamment très utiles dans le domaine des diffuseurs. On entend par diffuseur tout dispositif permettant la libération d'une substance organique dans l'atmosphère environnante.The packaging devices of a product for controlling the release of said product are particularly useful in the field of diffusers. Diffuser means any device for the release of an organic substance into the surrounding atmosphere.
Il existe de nombreuses substances organiques d'utilité domestique dont l'action nécessite la libération dans l'atmosphère environnante, telles que des désodorisants, des compositions parfumantes ou des insecticides. Généralement, ces produits sont conditionnés dans des dispositifs comprenant plusieurs ouvertures, lesdites ouvertures étant fermées lors de l'achat du produit, puis ouvertes lorsque l'utilisateur désire utiliser le produit. Ce type de conditionnement présente l'inconvénient pour l'utilisateur de ne pas pouvoir contrôler la libération de la substance organique, et notamment de ne pas pouvoir l'arrêter lorsqu'il le souhaite. D' autres types de conditionnement comme celui décrit dans le brevet US 4, 280, 651 proposent des dispositifs permettant de contrôler la libération d'une substance organique. Ces dispositifs comprennent un élément interne contenant la substance organique. Cet élément comprend sur deux faces des ouvertures permettant à l'air de circuler et coopère avec un élément externe mobile pour réguler l'exposition de la substance organique à l'atmosphère ambiante et notamment la fermeture desdites ouvertures .There are many organic substances of domestic utility whose action requires release into the surrounding atmosphere, such as deodorants, perfumes or insecticides. Generally, these products are packaged in devices comprising several openings, said openings being closed when the product is purchased, and then opened when the user wishes to use the product. This type of packaging has the disadvantage for the user to not be able to control the release of the organic substance, including not being able to stop when desired. Other types of packaging such as that described in US Patent 4, 280, 651 provide devices for controlling the release of an organic substance. These devices comprise an internal element containing the organic substance.

Comme on peut l'observer sur la figure 1, le dispositif selon l'invention présente une forme de cintre. Ce dispositif comprend une plaque l de maintien, visible en vue de face sur la figure 1, et une plaque 2 de support, visible en vue de dos sur la figure 3. Les plaques 1 et 2 sont réalisées en carton. Ce dispositif comprend également un élément mobile 3, qui est une demi sphère en plastique. Le plan en coupe selon l'axe II présenté dans la figure 2 montre que l'élément mobile 3 se trouve entre les plaques 1 et 2 et forme saillie par rapport aux plaques 1 et 2 à travers un évidement 4 réalisé dans la plaque 1 de maintien. L' évidement 4 a été réalisé par détachement d'une découpe 4a, qui a ensuite été transférée et fixée sur la face interne de la portion 9 de la plaque 2 de support.As can be seen in Figure 1, the device according to the invention has a hanger shape. This device comprises a holding plate 1, visible in view 1, and a support plate 2, visible in a back view in FIG. 3. The plates 1 and 2 are made of cardboard. This device also comprises a movable element 3, which is a half sphere made of plastic. The sectional plane along the axis II shown in FIG. 2 shows that the movable element 3 is located between the plates 1 and 2 and protrudes with respect to the plates 1 and 2 through a recess 4 made in the plate 1 of FIG. maintenance. The recess 4 was made by detaching a cutout 4a, which was then transferred and fixed on the inner face of the portion 9 of the support plate 2.
Sur la figure 2, on peut observer que les plaques 1 et 2 sont fixées entre elles par leur face interne de manière à former l'interstice 6. L'élément mobile 3 est maintenu entre les plaques 1 et 2 par des rebords plats 7, dont la largeur est inférieure à celle de l'interstice 6. L'élément mobile 3 est creux et a une face plane 5 qui n'est pas fermée par une membrane. Cette face plane 5 est en contact avec la découpe 4a fixée sur la face interne de la portion 9 la plaque 2 de support. Dans cet exemple, l'élément mobile 3 contient une matrice de silicone capable de diffuser un parfum ou une composition parfumante ou aromatique.In FIG. 2, it can be seen that the plates 1 and 2 are fixed together by their internal face so as to form the gap 6. The mobile element 3 is held between the plates 1 and 2 by flat flanges 7, whose width is less than that of the gap 6. The movable member 3 is hollow and has a flat face 5 which is not closed by a membrane. This flat face 5 is in contact with the cutout 4a fixed on the inner face of the portion 9 the support plate 2. In this example, the movable member 3 contains a silicone matrix capable of diffusing a perfume or a perfume or aromatic composition.
La figure 1 montre l'élément mobile 3 en position de repos ou position « off » 8. La figure 3 montre le dispositif en vue de dos et particulièrement la portion 9 de la plaque 2 qui est en contact avec la découpe 4a. Dans cette position, le produit contenu dans l'élément mobile ne peut pas être libéré puisque la plaque 2 de support a été rendue imperméable par un pelliculage avec du polyéthylène (PE) .Figure 1 shows the movable member 3 in the rest position or "off" position 8. Figure 3 shows the device in rear view and particularly the portion 9 of the plate 2 which is in contact with the cutout 4a. In this position, the product contained in the mobile element can not be released since the support plate 2 has been made impermeable by film-coating with polyethylene (PE).
Selon l'invention, le dispositif comprend un évidement 10 dans la plaque 1 de maintien, dont la largeur est égale à celle de l'élément mobile 3 et la hauteur est égale à deux fois celle de l'élément mobile 3. Sur la figure 1, cet évidement 10 est obtenu en détachant la découpe 10a, qui a pour fonction de retenir l'élément mobile 3 en position « off » jusqu'à sa première utilisation.According to the invention, the device comprises a recess 10 in the holding plate 1, whose width is equal to that of the movable member 3 and the height is twice that of the movable member 3. In Figure 1, this recess 10 is obtained by detaching the cutout 10a, whose function is to retain the movable element 3 in the "off" position until its first use.
Selon l'invention, le dispositif comprend un évidement 11 dans la plaque 2 de support, dont la surface est inférieure à celle de la face plane 5 de l'élément mobile 3. Sur la figure 3, cet évidement 11 est libéré par le détachement de la découpe lia.According to the invention, the device comprises a recess 11 in the support plate 2, the surface of which is smaller than that of the plane face 5 of the mobile element 3. In FIG. 3, this recess 11 is released by the detachment of the cut-out 11a.
Les figures 4 et 5 montrent le procédé d' utilisation du dispositif, comprenant le détachement de la découpe 10a pour libérer l' évidement 10 réalisé sur la plaque 1 de maintien et le détachement de la découpe lia pour libérer l' évidement 11 réalisé sur la plaque 2 de support. L'action de détacher les découpes 10a et lia crée ainsi un orifice 13 dans le dispositif. Bien que non visible sur les figures, les plaques 1 et 2 ont été fixées entre elles de manière à former un interstice entre elles autour des évidements 10 et 11, permettant ainsi le déplacement de l'élément mobile 3 par glissement de ses rebords plats 7 dans cet interstice. On peut également observer sur la figure 4 des crans 12a et 12b sur les bords de l' évidement 10. Les crans 12a définissent une première position active sur le dispositif, tandis que les crans 12b définissent une deuxième position active sur le dispositif. L'élément mobile 3 peut être placé dans une troisième position située après les crans 12b sur le dispositif. Selon l'invention, le dispositif permet de contrôler la libération de la substance organique contenue dans l'élément mobile 3 et notamment d'arrêter la libération de cette substance lorsque l'utilisateur le désire, en remontant l'élément mobile en position « off ». Les figures 6, 7 et 8 décrivent le procédé d'utilisation du dispositif pour contrôler la libération du parfum ou de la composition parfumante d'une matrice de silicone contenue dans l'élément mobile 3. La figure 6 montre en vue de face (6A) et de dos (6B) la position dans laquelle l'élément mobile 3 doit être placé par l'utilisateur pour que la libération du parfum ou de la composition parfumante soit faible. Cette position correspond à la première position active définie par les crans 12a présents sur les bords de l'évidement 10 de la plaque 1. En vue de dos, on observe que le placement de l'élément mobile 3 dans cette première position active permet l'exposition à l'atmosphère ambiante d'une petite surface 14 de la face plane de l'élément mobile 3 et donc du produit contenu dans l'élément mobile.Figures 4 and 5 show the method of use of the device, comprising the detachment of the cutout 10a to release the recess 10 made on the holding plate 1 and the detachment of the cutout 11a to release the recess 11 made on the support plate 2. The action of detaching the cutouts 10a and 11a thus creates an orifice 13 in the device. Although not visible in the figures, the plates 1 and 2 have been fixed together to form a gap between them around the recesses 10 and 11, thus allowing the displacement of the movable member 3 by sliding of its flat flanges 7 in this gap. Also shown in Figure 4 are notches 12a and 12b on the edges of the recess 10. The notches 12a define a first active position on the device, while the notches 12b define a second active position on the device. The movable member 3 can be placed in a third position after the notches 12b on the device. According to the invention, the device makes it possible to control the release of the organic substance contained in the mobile element 3 and in particular to stop the release of this substance when the user wishes it, by moving the mobile element back to the "off" position. ". FIGS. 6, 7 and 8 describe the method of use of the device for controlling the release of the perfume or perfuming composition of a silicone matrix contained in the mobile element 3. FIG. 6 shows a front view (6A ) and back (6B) the position in which the movable member 3 is to be placed by the user so that the release of the perfume or perfume composition is low. This position corresponds to the first active position defined by the notches 12a present on the edges of the recess 10 of the plate 1. In the rear view, it is observed that the placement of the movable element 3 in this first active position allows the exposure to the ambient atmosphere of a small surface 14 of the flat face of the movable member 3 and therefore the product contained in the movable member.
La figure 7 montre en vue de face (7A) et de dos (7B) la position dans laquelle l'élément mobile 3 doit être placé par l'utilisateur pour que la libération du parfum ou de la composition parfumante soit plus forte. Cette position correspond à la deuxième position active définie par les crans 12b présents sur les bords de l'évidement 10 de la plaque 1. En vue de dos, on observe que le placement de l'élément mobile 3 dans cette deuxième position active permet l'exposition à l'atmosphère ambiante d'une plus grande surface 15 de la face plane 5 de l'élément mobile 3 et donc du produit contenu dans l'élément mobile.Figure 7 shows in front view (7A) and back (7B) the position in which the movable member 3 is to be placed by the user for the release of the perfume or the perfume composition is stronger. This position corresponds to the second active position defined by the notches 12b present on the edges of the recess 10 of the plate 1. In the rear view, it is observed that the placement of the movable element 3 in this second active position allows the exposure to the ambient atmosphere of a larger area 15 of the planar face 5 of the movable member 3 and thus the product contained in the movable member.
La figure 8 montre en vue de face (8A) et de dos (8B) la position dans laquelle l'élément mobile 3 doit être placé par l'utilisateur pour que la libération du parfum ou de la composition parfumante soit maximale. Cette position correspond à la troisième position active localisée après les crans 12b présents sur les bords de l'évidement 10 de la plaque 1. En vue de dos, on observe que le placement de l'élément mobile 3 dans cette troisième position active permet l'exposition à l'atmosphère ambiante de la totalité 16 de la face plane de l'élément mobile 3 et donc du produit contenu dans l'élément mobile. Lorsque l'utilisateur désire arrêter la libération du parfum ou de la composition parfumante de la matrice de silicone contenue dans l'élément mobile 3, il replace l'élément mobile 3 dans sa position de repos ou position « off » comme on peut l'observer dans la figure 5. L'utilisateur peut utiliser ce dispositif en le suspendant à un crochet ou à une tringle pour parfumer un endroit clos tel qu'un placard à vêtements. Figure 8 shows in front view (8A) and back (8B) the position in which the movable member 3 is to be placed by the user for the release of the perfume or perfume composition is maximum. This position corresponds to the third active position located after the notches 12b present on the edges of the recess 10 of the plate 1. In view of back, it is observed that the placement of the movable element 3 in this third active position allows exposure to the ambient atmosphere of all 16 of the flat face of the movable element 3 and therefore the product contained in the movable element. When the user wishes to stop the release of the perfume or perfuming composition of the silicone matrix contained in the mobile element 3, he puts the mobile element 3 back to its rest position or "off" position as it is possible to observe in Figure 5. The user can use this device by suspending a hook or a rod to perfume a closed place such as a clothes closet.
