Abstract:
The present invention relates to a flexible tube for a product having a liquid or pasty consistency, comprising: a tube head (1) comprising a shoulder (12) and a neck (11), a skirt (2) having a proximal end (21) which is connected to the tube head (1) and a free distal end (22), the skirt (2) forming an internal volume which is adapted to contain a product having a liquid or pasty consistency, characterized in that the proximal end (21) of said skirt (2) comprises a plurality of flaps (24) and a plurality of notches (23) separating said flaps (24), said flaps (24) being folded so as to cover all or part of the shoulder (12).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a tube manufacturing method comprising steps of: enclosing a parison (14) in a mold (6) to form a blank (15) having a first end portion shaped to form a first tube head, a tubular central portion, and a second end portion shaped to form a second tube head, and cutting the tubular central portion (22) into a first skirt and a second skirt to obtain two separate tubes, namely a first tube including the first tube head and the first skirt, and a second tube including the second tube head and the second skirt.
Abstract:
The invention proposes a film (1) for a skirt (2) of a flexible tube (3) one end of which is intended to be closed by a tube head (4), said multilayer film being intended to be folded on itself and heat-sealed along the length of a longitudinal seal line (6) in such a way as to form the skirt (2) so that a first layer (10) of the multilayer film (1), known as the inner layer, is heat-sealed to a second layer (20) of the multilayer film (1) opposite the first layer, known as the outer layer, characterised in that: —the inner layer (10) comprises a polymer or a blend of polymers with a Young's modulus of at least 1600 MPa, and—the outer layer (20) is made of a biaxially-oriented film.
Abstract:
A flexible tube skirt (10) has a primary film (20) and a decorative film (30), wherein the decorative film (30) has a decoration substrate and a sealable outer layer (33) The decoration substrate is applied on all of at least one of the surfaces of the primary film (20) and is below the sealable outer layer (33). The flexible tube skirt may be used in a flexible tube.
Abstract:
A container for a cosmetic product having a given period after opening (PAO) is disclosed. The container includes at least one electronic data processing device able to read data which, associated with the product, is contained in a data medium to selectively record at least a first opening of the product so as to be able to calculate the period after opening (PAO) of the product and also relates to a cosmetic product cartridge for such a container.
Abstract:
A flat strip 1, suitable for forming a tube flexible skirt, comprising a decorative film 15 superimposed on a primary film 16, said primary film 16 consisting of a series of polymeric layers and comprising a sealable inner layer 14 at the lower surface 20 of the strip 1, said decorative film 15 comprising a sealable outer layer 7 at the upper surface 19 of the strip 1 and a decorative layer 8, 9. The primary film 16 comprises means for stabilizing the strip 1 and protecting the decorative layer 8, 9 against heating.
Abstract:
A tube head is provided which is designed to be associated with a skirt so as to form an internal volume of the tube. The tube head includes a body formed from plastics material, that includes a neck having an opening at a first end, through which opening a product is removed from the internal volume of the tube, and a shoulder which is joined to a second end of the neck opposite the first end. The tube head also includes an insert arranged so as to be in contact with said shoulder and forming a barrier between the body and the product contained in the internal volume. The insert includes a central portion and a peripheral region. The central portion forms a non-perforated disc sealing the neck, and the peripheral region being mounted so as to as to be in contact with a complementary planar surface of the body.
