Atomiser comprising a pump that forms a stopper
An atomizer provided with a manually activated pump forming a stopper, which is mounted by force in the opening of the bottle. The bottle is made entirely from a plastic material, moulded as a single piece, and the opening of this bottle comprises on the inside an annular hooking rib and the plastic material used to make the bottle is harder and more rigid than the material used to make the pump body so that the said rib can encrust in the pump body.
1. An atomiser comprising:
a manually activated pump comprising a pump body made from a first plastic material forming a stopper which is mounted by force in an opening of a bottle;
wherein said bottle is made entirely from a second plastic material molded as a single piece;
wherein said opening comprises an internal annular hooking rib, made by molding; and
wherein the first plastic material used to make the bottle is harder and more rigid that the second material used to make said pump body, so that said hooking rib embeds in the stopper of said pump body.
2. An atomiser according to claim 1 , wherein said hooking rib is defined in the immediate proximity of an orifice of the opening of the bottle.
3. An atomiser according to claim 2 , wherein said hooking rib is defined by a reduced diameter of the opening in the immediate proximity of the orifice.
4. An atomiser according to claim 3 , wherein said hooking rib is defined by a greater thickness of a wall in the proximity of the orifice of the opening of the bottle.
5. An atomiser according to claim 4 , wherein said bottle is an injection molded bottle.
6. An atomizer, comprising:
a manually activated pump comprising a pump body, the pump body comprised entirely of a first plastic material; and
a substantially cylindrical bottle comprising an opening, said bottle being a one-piece bottle molded entirely of a second plastic material;
a cylindrical inner cavity in said bottle comprising an inner diameter;
a stopper portion of the pump body mountable in the opening, said stopper
portion having a stopper diameter substantially equal to the inner diameter; and
an annular hooking rib comprised in the opening, said annual hooking rib having a rib diameter less than the inner diameter;
wherein the second plastic material is harder than the first plastic material; and
wherein, upon inserting the pump body in the opening, at least a portion of the stopper portion is deformed about said hooking rib and said hooking rib is embedded therein.
7. The atomizer according to claim 6 , wherein at least a second portion of said stopper portion rests against the inner diameter of said inner cavity upon inserting the pump body in the opening.
8. The atomizer according to claim 6 , wherein the pump further comprises a skirt, the skirt resting adjacent to an exterior surface of the opening upon inserting the pump body in the opening.
9. The atomizer according to claim 6 , wherein the first plastic material is a first polyolefin material and the second plastic material is a second polyolefin material.
10. The atomizer according to claim 9 , wherein the second polyolefin material is a more rigid grade polyolefin as compared to the first polyolefin material.
11. The atomizer according to claim 6 , wherein said bottle includes a first wall thickness in the proximity of the hooking rib and a second wall thickness in the cavity, wherein the first thickness is greater than the second thickness.
