A tube (1) including a head (2) of molded plastic composition and a flexible sidewall (4) affixed to this head (2), including a neck (6 and 7) with an opening (8) connected by a detachable sealed annular portion (11) to a continuous bottom (12) of a closure (20) in the form of an inverted hat topping the neck, the bottom (12) of the closure being joined to an external sidewall (13) of the closure, and the closure carrying a means (17) for reclosing the neck in a sealed manner after the detachment of said annular portion (11). The neck has an inner annular edge (7) demarcating its opening (8), the edge (7) and an annular portion (14 and 15) of the closure (20) that extends from the junction of the base (12) and the annular detachable portion (11) up to an annular portion of the external sidewall (13) located above the connection (16) of the base (12) and the sidewall (13) each have a thickness of between 1.1 and 1.6 mm, their rigidity thus promoting the detachment of the detachable annular portion (11). The invention is applicable to tubes with a detachable cover containing cream-like or paste-like products, in particular toothpaste.

The invention disclosure relates to a process for manufacturing a collapsible tube with a wall containing more than 60% by volume of plastic material from a substantially cylindrical, or tubular, blank. The inside and outside layers of the tubular blank are of polymeric plastic material, and the tube has a skirt and a necked head. In the process a shaping operation is performed where an end portion of the tubular blank is necked by bringing closer together inner and outer tools, thus producing crumpled folding of the end of the tube. Prior to the shaping operation the blank is heated in order to bring the portion of the end portion to be shaped to a temperature at the time of the shaping operation which is at least equal to the melting point of the polymeric plastic material forming of the layers the inside and outside surfaces of the wall of the blank. The polymeric plastic material is thus in a viscous molten state at the time of the shaping operation. By virtue of the shaping operation, the crumpled folds are formed by simply bringing closer together the inner and outer tools so that when the folds are fully crushed between the tools and the folds are completely welded to each other, thereby producing the necked head and shoulder integral with the remaining skirt portion of the previously tubular blank.

The invention relates to a tube (1) having a neck (2) with a distribution orifice (3). The neck (2) being followed by a shoulder (4) and a flexible skirt (5) and, above the skirt (5). The neck (2) has an external, annular, tight fixing element (10, 30) for an external neck (27) by engagement and in that neck (2) which comprises two chambers (6, 7). The chambers are tight with respect to one another up to the distribution orifice (3). The first (6) communicating with the interior (8) of the skirt (5) of the tube (1) and the second (7) carrying through side window or windows (9). The invention also relates to the distributor obtained by engaging an external tube on the tube. It is used for the storage and distribution, without prior contact, of pairs of products in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, food or cleaning industries.

Tube and distributor incorporating the latter for storing and

The cap (1) portion of the assembly comprises at least one guarantee strip (2, 3) connected to its body (5) by breakage bridges (4), the neck of the receptacle carrying ratchet teeth and the guarantee strip (2, 3) carrying internal teeth (6) adapted to cooperate with the ratchet teeth. The ratchet teeth (9) are elastically inclinable in the direction of screwing to allow the cap (1) to be screwed on while preventing its being unscrewed without breaking the bridges (4). At least one guarantee strip (2) has free ends (21) and is ejected transversely the first time the cap (1) is screwed on. The internal teeth (6) are so disposed that they cooperate with the ratchet teeth by only a single internal tooth (6) upon screwing and unscrewing. The cap (1) can be applied to tamper-proof receptacles in the cosmetic, pharmaceutical, hygiene, food and cleaning product industries.

Assembly comprising a screw closure cap of plastic material with a

The invention relates to a method of making a dispensing head comprising a rigid annular dome made of plastics and, above the dome, a dispensing valve or a pump, the valve or pump having an annular fixing shoulder, the circumference of which is made at least externally of plastics, the lower end of the dome carrying an annular flange for fixing over a can body. In the method disclosed the valve or pump is disposed between tools which tightly grip the fixing shoulder and provide play which limits its heating during a molding operation. Annular tools are provided, forming a circular gap with the tools that grip the fixing shoulder, the gap closing over the shoulder and forming the geometry of the dome and its annular fixing flange. Molten plastics are injected into the annular gap through one or more injection orifices, the molded dispensing head cooled and demolded. The invention also relates to the corresponding preassembled heads and dispensers using them. The invention can be utilized in packaging of liquid or cream products in aerosol or pump type dispensers.

Method of making a dispensing head, and the corresponding head and

A bag-type dispenser comprising a casing including a tubular body and a separate body portion, a tubular skirt, a dispensing portion and a one-piece molded annular dome of plastic material including an upper annular portion fixed to the dispensing portion, a lower tubular portion directly and sealingly fixed to the tubular skirt at an upper portion of the skirt over a height of 5 to 20 mm, and a lower annular portion outside the lower tubular portion, directly and sealingly fixed to the tubular body at an upper end. The dispenser can be filled with product by way of a lower end of the tubular skirt which is open, and which can subsequently be closed to form a bag.

Process for the production and packaging of a bag-type dispenser,

The invention concerns a process for the production and packaging of a bag-type dispenser comprising a casing surmounted by a dome, a sealed flexible bag fixed in said casing and dispensing means sealingly connected to said dome and to said bag characterized in that, prior to any other assembly and packaging operation, a dome of plastics material is produced by moulding, the dome comprising an internal tubular portion permitting sealing fixing thereon on to the upper end of a skirt forming the blank for the bag, and then said fixing is produced, thus providing a preassembled component, dome+skirt, the dome further comprising portions for fixing thereof respectively on to the upper end of the casing and to the dispensing means. The invention also concerns the resulting sub-assemblies and bag-type dispensers. The invention is used in the pharmaceutical, cosmetological, hygiene and foodstuff fields.
