Abstract

A covering member ( 1 ) for mounting on a fastener ring ( 2 ), the ring and the covering member co-operating with each other to form a fastener device for fastening a dispenser system ( 3 ) on a receptacle neck ( 40 ). The covering member is substantially cylindrical and includes an outside wall ( 14 ) and an inside wall ( 15 ) for coming into clamping contact around the ring ( 2 ). The inside wall forms at least one elongate groove ( 16 ) hollowed out in a base zone ( 151 ). The groove is formed by a plurality of groove segments ( 17 ) that are separated by non-groove zones in such a manner as to form a groove that is interrupted locally.

Claims (12)

1. A covering member assembly comprising: a plastic fastener ring to be secured to a receptacle;

a cylindrical covering member mounted on the fastener ring, the ring and the covering member cooperating with each other to form a fastener device for fastening a dispenser system to a neck of the receptacle, the covering member includes an outside wall and an inside wall for coming into clamping contact around the ring, the inside wall comprising:

an array of grooves including a plurality of elongate longitudinal groove segments interlaced by an array of non-groove zones, a portion of the plastic fastener ring creeping into the elongate groove segments of the inside wall of the covering member.

2. The covering member assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the elongate groove segments are disposed substantially horizontally, forming interrupted annular grooves.

4. A fluid dispenser assembly comprising the receptacle, the dispenser system, and the fastener device in combination that integrates the covering member according to claim 1 .

5. The covering member assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the elongate groove segments extend serially to define a discontinuous track.

6. The covering member assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one elongate groove is broken longitudinally by the non-groove zones.

7. The covering member assembly according to claim 1 , each groove segment has two ends and two long edges, wherein the two ends of each elongate groove segment are respectively interconnected by the corresponding two long edges.

8. A covering member assembly comprising: a plastic fastener ring to be secured to a receptacle;

a cylindrical covering member mounted on the fastener ring, the ring and the covering member cooperating with each other to form a fastener device for fastening a dispenser system to a neck of the receptacle, the covering member includes an outside wall and an inside wall for coming into clamping contact around the ring, the inside wall comprising:

an array of grooves including a plurality of elongate lateral groove segments arranged in a series of rows and columns interspersed by non-groove zones, a portion of the plastic fastener ring creeping into the elongate groove segments of the inside wall of the covering member.
