    DESCRIPTION
    Welding procedure of neck and body of deposit of a plastic container and container comprising at least one welded tank according to this procedure
    The invention relates to a welding process between a neck and a reservoir body of a plastic container. The invention also relates to a container comprising at least one tank consisting of a welded neck and body according to this procedure.
    Provided with a closure device attached to the neck, this container will constitute a container suitable for containing any type of fluid, liquid or pasty products, such as food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, stationery or maintenance products, that need a barrier to the evaporation and protection against external agents.
    There is a wide variety of plastic containers intended to contain fluid products. These containers have different names according to their shape or configuration: drum, bottle, bottle, tube or jar. In all cases, this type of container is equipped with a sealing device, cap or cap that is sufficiently tight, sometimes provided with a gasket element. This closure device can be connected to the neck of the container by any known joint system, for example: threaded, crimped, crimped, embedded, welded, devices that make it possible to temporarily secure the closure for multipurpose or permanent products for single use products, which cannot be closed again.
    In addition to its storage and protection paper, a container generally has an informative role, and it is common to have a text and various informative or decorative images on the outer surface of the container, either by direct printing on the surface of the plastic, or by coating with a thin printed film: label, wrap, decal.
    After opening by the user, the container also frequently has the task of allowing or facilitating the use of the contained product. For this, it can be equipped with a diffusion device (pump, aerosol valve, ...) or by an application device (brush stem, brush or foam tubular element).
    The traditional procedures that allow to produce industrially plastic containers are extrusion-blown and injection-blown.
    The manufacture of plastic material containers by extrusion-blowing or injection-blowing presents a large number of drawbacks, as mentioned below.
    These procedures are slow, in addition the containers are made in bulky molds, which do not allow more than 2 to 8 to be placed in an extrusion-blow molding machine, or 4 to 12 in an injection-blow molding machine.
    In addition, these procedures involve the use of "soufflable" plastic materials (blowable), that is to say crystalline materials (such as polypropylene, polyethylene, or PVC), in specially selected grades for their important glass transition margin.
    On the other hand, the mold opening plane causes ribs located along the "joint plan", more or less dense ribs according to the quality of the mold: they represent an aesthetic defect that can disturb operations of decoration or labeling.
    Due to its conception in two moving parts, the mold cannot have a perfect thermal balance. As a result, cooler areas than others may affect the quality of the container.
    In addition, when the material is applied against the surface of the mold, the ambient air must be evacuated from the mold by small holes and by the plane of the joint. As a result, surface defects occur in the container and a great difficulty in obtaining a glossy surface, particularly with some materials, which can only be blown into a mold whose surface is slightly rough.
    In addition, radii and variations of little value are likely to vary depending on the temperature of the material, the temperature of the mold and the pressure of the blowing air.
    The molten matter when exposed to the direct contact of the ambient air at the exit of the extruder, the regulation parameters will be influenced by climatic variations such as temperature and humidity that may cause defects.
    The thickness of the material cannot be assured precisely during blowing, depending on the shape of the container, the very stretched areas will be thinner. These irregularities of thickness cause several main drawbacks:

    The barrier quality level of the container will be limited to the finest zone (the most permeable), the densest areas represent a waste of material, the rigidity and mechanical resistance of the container will also be irregular.
    Finally, the blowing parameters that can be very different from one material to another, it is therefore appropriate to adapt the mold very precisely to the material used. Consequently, a change of matter generally implies a change of mold.
    Other embodiments of the state of the art have attempted to alleviate the aforementioned drawbacks of the extrusion-blown and blown injection procedures. An embodiment uses, for example, a set of several pieces in a plane perpendicular to the axis of symmetry of the container; these pieces are for example in number of two, one composed of the opening and one part of the body, the other comprising the other part of the body. Then the assembly is done by crimping, gluing or welding.
    It is known from US 2,741,402 a container consisting of a plurality of flexible plastic parts, assembled by welding. The process has the disadvantage of including a metal ring in each joint.
    On the other hand, US 3,302,813 describes a container consisting of several pieces of plastic material adhered together to form a hollow body. This procedure is not adapted for serial production.
    EP 1,121,298 refers to a composite bottle made in two parts: a body of blown plastic material and a neck of injected plastic material, these two parts are assembled by means of a watertight crimping device, which gives the manufacturer the possibility of presenting the same body with several types of necks, or the same neck with several body sizes. However, the body being blown, maintains the drawbacks of the extrusion-blowing or injection-blowing procedures described above.
    More recently, patents US5465856, US6045280 or US6315140 describe the manufacture of containers composed of two parts, welded, or glued by ultrasound. These containers have the disadvantage of having relatively strong plastic thicknesses to allow end-to-end welding of the two pieces. The welding zone is manifested in the form of a flange or burr, visible outside the container, due to the strong energy necessary for the fusion of the material, this defect being visible outside the container.
    Improvements propose a rotation welding one in relation to the other of the edges of the two parts of the container, these edges having been lowered. This rotation creates a friction that heats the contact area, and welding is done thanks to the partial and temporary melting of the plastic material. Once the rotation has stopped, the two parts remain welded.
    None of these known processes therefore makes it possible to obtain any form of high quality container (plain, of regular shape and thickness) and easy to manufacture in large quantities, such that they are for example used to contain cosmetic or pharmacy products.
    For this, the present invention proposes the realization of a container by welding parts with thickness-reduced edges and having different angles of attack.
    US 4579242 describes a welding process between two plastic material deposit elements suitable for receiving a fluid product. This tank is bulky for industrial use (water softener). The two elements to be welded are arranged in alignment with two contact surfaces facing each other. The assembly wall of the elements has a recess in relation to the rest of the element. The assembly wall of the elements has a strongly inclined contact surface relative to the axis of the tank. The structure comprises a pointed arrangement and cavity intended to cooperate. The radial dimensions of the contact walls are such that the assembly wall of one element is brought into contact with the wall of the other element. A force is applied on one of the elements to put the contact surfaces under tension. An energy supply fuses the plastic material of the contact surfaces then assembled together. The recessed walls have a radially rigid structure in the progression of the wall.
    Document US 4579242 is not adapted to the case of a much smaller size deposit than that of water softener deposits, such as deposits used in the cosmetic or pharmaceutical field for cologne, aftershave, perfume, or the like . With such sizes, it cannot be particularly considered that the assembly wall of the elements has a strongly inclined contact surface relative to the axis of the reservoir or that the structure comprises a tip and cavity arrangement. It cannot be considered before using fibers. Next, the problem of welding two plastic material deposit elements suitable for receiving a fluid product, such as deposits used in the cosmetic or pharmaceutical field for eau de cologne, after-shave, a perfume, or the like whose Size be accordingly with use. And there is the problem of prolonging the welding zone.

    More precisely, the present invention aims at a welding process between a neck and a plastic container container body suitable for receiving a fluid product, the neck and body forming a pair of solar elements arranged in alignment with along a main axis and having two contact surfaces facing each other, in which an assembly wall of at least one of the neck and / or body elements to be welded has a partially linear recess in thickness in relation to the rest of the element, then having at least one of the assembly walls of the elements to be assembled an inclined contact surface (ac, af) relative to the main axis (X'X) forming between them an angular deviation of at least substantially 3 to 5o between them . The radial dimensions of the contact walls are such that the assembly wall of one element is brought into contact in the wall of the other element, because a force is applied on one of the elements to put the contact surfaces under tension. In addition, the recessed wall (s) having a radially deformable structure in the progression of the wall, an energy supply fuses the plastic material of the contact surfaces then assembled together in hollow local areas in these surfaces to form a volume of matter in fusion (E). This melting stage is followed by a cooling stage.
    The low thickness of at least one of the two contact zones allows a weld without flange. The space created by the angular difference between the fusion zones allows the excess material to be stored after the radial elastic deformation of one of the elements and melted to avoid an unsightly outer burr.
    According to particular embodiments:
    - the elements to be welded are formed by injection of plastic material in the same mold comprising two sets of appropriate molds, or in two different molds;
    - the elements to be welded when positioned in alignment with respect to the main axis and the contact surfaces of these elements when facing each other, at least one of the two elements is held in position by an appropriate tool in order to limit the deformations of the container, and a force parallel to the main axis is exerted on at least one of the two elements with an adjusted intensity in order to cause an elastic deformation of at least one of these elements due to the angular deviation between the two contact surfaces;
    - the plastic material is high in temperature at the level of the contact surfaces between the two elements, maintaining the application of the force until melting of the local areas is caused;
    - the temperature rise is ensured by a heat contribution by radiation focused on the area to be welded, by an ultrasonic generator regulated between 20,000 and 50,000 cycles per second and equipped with a sonotrode adapted to the geometry of one of the elements by the angular oscillation of one of the elements around the main axis at a frequency between 50 and 500 cycles per second, by the axial oscillation of one of the elements along the main axis at a frequency between 50 and 500 cycles per second, or by a rotation of one of the elements around the main axis at a speed between approximately 1000 and 10,000 rpm depending on the material used;
    - the phases of starting, acceleration, maintenance in speed, reduction and stopping are carried out in a total time of less than one second, the rotation being stopped at a precise angular position around the main axis by position detection, for example with the help of a position sensor.
    The invention also relates to a container comprising at least one welded body and opening neck reservoir according to the procedure defined above.
    According to particular embodiments:
    - the container comprises two tanks of which the pairs of elements arranged in opposition along the same main axis and the deposits have a common tank body bottom;
    - the container comprises two tanks of which the pairs of elements located along two substantially parallel main axes and the deposits comprise at least one common internal surface;
    - the container comprises at least three tanks, arranged respectively along main axes belonging to the same plane;
    - the deposits are arranged counterbalanced;
    - each open neck is adapted for mounting a capping system selected from threaded, coupled and crimped;
    - the maintenance in position of a deposit element is carried out by means of an anvil comprising two half-shells;
    - the drive means in rotation in the weld are selected from notches, pins, friction zones and the end of the thread itself;
    - the container consists of a selected base material, depending on the chemical compatibility with the contents of the tanks and the desired aspect, among the thermoplastic materials of polypropylenes (PP), polyethylenes (PE), polyamides (PA), resins acetals (POM), polyesters (PET, PEN), polycarbonates (PC) and styrene-based resins (PS, SAN, ABS, SBS).

    Figure 1 shows, in longitudinal section along the main axis X'X, an example of a container 20 consisting of two elements 21 and 22 manufactured by injection of plastic material in mold prints and assembled by an ultrasonic welding process. The element 22 comprises an internal re-centering collar 23 of the element 21. The element 21 comprises a cord of triangular section 24 intended to preferably melt in the end-to-end welding operation. The bulkiness of the collar 23 and that of the cord 24 impose a strong thickness Ep1 of the element 22.
    Figure 2 shows, in longitudinal section along the main axis X'X, an example of a container 200 consisting of two elements 201 and 202 manufactured by injection of plastic material in mold prints and assembled by an ultrasonic welding process. The element 202 comprises an outer core 203 of the core 201 of the element 201. The element 201 comprises a cord of triangular section 204 intended to preferably melt in the end-to-end welding operation. The bulkiness of collar 203 and cord 204 impose a strong Ep2 thickness of element 202.
    Figure 3a shows, in longitudinal section along the main axis X'X, an example of a container 10 manufactured by extrusion-blown or injection-blown, with a body 1 forming a bottom of deposit, and an open neck 2 of deposit. Due to the manufacturing procedures used to make a deposit in one piece, the body 1 has areas of uneven thickness with thin portions 4 and denser portions 6.
    In addition, as illustrated in Figure 3b exposing the container of Figure 3a in front, the outer surface 7 has a line of thickness 8 left by the joint plane of the mold opening by extrusion-blow or injection-blow .
    The welding process according to the invention is illustrated in partial section views, according to Figures 4a and 4d, of a cylindrical container 40 of circular polypropylene section. Welding is done from two elements 41 and 42, which form a reservoir 40a after assembly. The container is therefore of the single deposit type, called R1.
    Figure 4a shows one end of the body 42 and the neck 41 of the container 40 before assembly, such as they have been obtained by molding. The two assembly walls, the base wall 401 of the neck 41 and the end wall 402 of the body 42, have thinned portions. More precisely, walls 401 and 402 are provided with assembly surfaces, respectively an external surface Fa and an internal surface Fa ', formed respectively at the base of the neck 41 and at the end of the body 42.
    Each assembly wall, 401 and 402 is composed of a first portion of constant thickness corresponding to a first assembly surface portion, respectively Sc and Sc '. The diameter of the portion Sc of the outer surface of the neck is greater than that of the portion Sc 'of the inner surface Sc' of the end of the body 42.
    Then the thickness of the assembly walls decreases linearly on portions of contact surfaces Sa and Sa 'of the assembly surfaces Fa and Fa'.
    Finally, the thinning remains substantially constant at the end portions Sp and Sp 'of the Fa and Fa' surfaces.
    In the illustrated example, the angular difference between the inclinations of the contact surfaces Sa and Sa 'is substantially close to the 4th, with:

    - the angle ac, of the linear thinning of the surface portion Sa of the base wall 401, relative to the X'X axis, is equal to 4o, and
    - the angle af of the linear thinning of the surface portion Sa 'of the end 402 of the body 42, relative to the axis X'X, is equal to 8o.
    Figures 4b and 4c show the progression of the assembly of the elements: the two elements 41 and 42 are aligned with respect to the main axis of revolution X'X, and a force exerted parallel to this axis allows the progressive coating of the assembly surfaces Fa and Fa '. The diameter of the thinned end Sp 'of the body 42 is substantially equal or barely greater than that of the outer surface Sc not thinned of the neck 41.
    The inclined geometry of the contact surfaces relative to the main axis X'X induces an elastic deformation of the end 402 of the body 42 in the progression. This deformation is translated by the presence of the deviation "e" between the non-thinned outer surface Sc of the neck 41 and the edge 403 of the end surface Sp 'of the body 42 at the end of the progression (Figure 4c), opposite the almost zero deviation between this same outer surface Sc and the edge 403 the beginning of the progression (figure 4b).
    The fusion of the polypropylene walls 401 and 402, respectively of the neck 41 and of the end of the body 42, is then performed by localized elevation in temperature by circular friction or by any type of energy supply (Figure 4d). The fusion zones Zc and Zc 'of the respective contact surfaces Sa and Sa' form a common matter in a space "E" disposed between these zones.
    The edge 403 of the contact surface Sc 'of the end of the body 42 elastically returns, upon cooling, in contact with the surface 401 of the neck 41 imprisoning the excess matter.
    The assembly and welding phases of a neck and a body forming the container 40a appear more generally in the figures in assembled view 4e to 4h.
    Prior to assembly (Figure 4e), the neck 41 has the assembly surface Fa and the body 12 the assembly surface Fa ', as described above. The neck 41 is provided with two diametrically opposed projections 13 (in the figure only one projection can be seen) intended to drive the neck 41 in rotation.
    The neck 41 is then inserted into the body 12 (arrow T, figure 4f).
    An action in rotation is then exerted, with the help of a known and unrepresented tool, according to the rotation arrow R around the X'X axis of the container, in order to perform friction welding (Figure 4g). The rotation speed is of the order of 5,000 rpm for less than 1 second.
    The final container 40 appears in Figure 4h, the neck 41 of the container 30 being welded.
    Figures 5 to 11 illustrate different forms of containers with single tank and central axis X'X.
    Figure 5 shows an example of a container 50 according to the invention with a reservoir body 52 whose end wall 502 is, contrary to the preceding example, inside the base wall 501 of the open neck 54 at the level of the welding zone «Z1».
    In another embodiment of the container 60 (Figure 6), the neck 64 is extended to form an open cylindrical reservoir body 62 in one piece. The welding zone "Z2" is then made at the open end of the body 62 on a tank bottom 65, arranged at the opposite part of the neck 64.
    Figure 7 shows an example of a container 70 according to the invention with a welding zone "Z3" disposed between a cylindrical extension 71 of the neck 72 and the cylindrical portion 73 of the reservoir body 74 so that the weld Z3 is substantially in the bowl center 70.
    Figures 8 to 11 illustrate different forms of containers according to the application considered, for example in the cosmetic or pharmaceutical field - eau de cologne, aftershave, perfumes, pillbox, etc. -, in the case of containers with a single deposit, and in which:
    - the base wall 801 of the neck 41 is substantially hemispherical, the body 802 has a sphere trunk shape and the welding zone "Z4" is arranged substantially in the center of the tank thus formed in order to form a container 80 substantially spherical (figure 8);
    - the reservoir body 902 of the container 90 has a cone trunk shape (figure 9);
    - the containers 100 and 110 have diameters of deposit bodies 101 and neck base 102 substantially equal to the height "H" of the container 100 (figure 10) in variant of the container 70 presented in figure 7, and

    - a base wall 111 of neck 112 extending beyond the opening 113 of neck 114 (Figure 11) in variant of the container 80 in reference to Figure 8.
    Thanks to the process according to the invention, it is possible to make container shapes such as those illustrated by Figures 8 to 11, when these same containers are difficult to obtain by blowing. Such a container of the type shown in Figure 10 advantageously constitutes a jar for a cosmetic or food product.
    Figure 12 shows a first example of a container 120 of two tanks 120a and 120b, here composed of two tank bodies 121 and 121 'arranged in opposition along the main axis of revolution X'X. Thus, the deposits have a common flat bottom 124 and the two bodies 121 and 121 'rise in the opposite direction from this bottom, the welding zones Z5 and Z5' and the open necks 123 and 123 'formed along of the same X'X axis.
    In a variant, the common bottom may not be flat and, as illustrated by the container 121 'in Figure 13, have for example a curved shape 124', in particular a spherical cap. An embodiment of this type allows to obtain a continuous effect, without separation, between two products of different colors, the effect being extended when one is translucent and the other opaque.
    Referring to Figure 14, another example of container 140 with two tanks according to the invention is composed of two tanks 140a and 140b arranged weighted along two substantially parallel main axes, X'X and Y'Y. The bodies 142 and 142 'have a common internal wall 143, substantially flat on its main portion 143a, and a cylindrical external wall 144 equally common on the central part, outside the walls of the melting zones "Z6" and "Z6" ». Open necks 145 and 145 'are centered along the main axes, respectively X'X and Y'Y.
    It should be noted that the containers of Figures 12 to 14 would be impossible to perform by blowing due to the existence of an internal wall.
    Figures 15 and 16 represent, respectively in section and in perspective view, an example of using the container 140 according to Figure 14 as a mask applicator. The mask reservoir 140a houses an application comb 150 whose rod is integral with the closure cap 152. The other mask reservoir 140b contains an application brush 160 mounted on a rod 162 in conjunction with the closure cap 164.
    Figure 17 illustrates, in longitudinal section in the plane of main axes X'X, Y'Y and Z'Z not parallel, an example of a container 170 of three tanks 170a, 170b and 170c according to the invention. The container has a plane of symmetry perpendicular to the cutting plane and passing through the central axis X'X, the other two main axes Y'Y and Z'Z being slightly inclined relative to the central axis X'X.
    This vessel 170 is composed of three reservoir bodies, 171, 171 ', and 171 ", arranged respectively along each main axis. The deposit bodies are arranged counterbalanced, and are welded to the open necks, respectively 172, 172 'and 172 ", in zones Z7, Z7' and Z7" to form three deposits. The bodies of the tanks have common parts 175 of which the structure is adapted to form a single piece.
    The invention is not limited to the embodiments described and represented. It is also possible to provide composite containers with more than three deposit bodies with welded necks according to the invention to carry out color test bars, in particular nail polish or paint. On the other hand, any form of revolution is possible, either of revolution or cylindrical of varied geometric section (circular, triangular, rectangular, etc.) and the position of the weld zone formed according to an appropriate positioning.
