A fixing device for fixing a dispensing unit on a neck (30) of a container (3) defining an external wall (32), wherein said device comprises:
- a cladding hoop (2) defining an internal wall (22), and
- a fixing ring (1) forming receiving means (13) for holding the dispensing unit and a skirt (10) defining an internal wall (101), an external wall (102) and a free lower end (105), wherein said skirt further defines a first area (103) at which its internal wall (101) is intended to engage with the external wall (32) of the neck and a second area (104) at which its external wall (102) is tightly engaged with the internal wall (22) of the cladding hoop and spaced from the neck, characterized in that the second area (104) is located below the first area (103), substantially at the lower end (105) of the skirt;
- and
- wherein an intermediate free space (201) is formed between the skirt (10) and the hoop (2) at the first area (103).
A fixing device for fixing a dispensing unit on a neck (30) of a container (3) defining an external wall (32), wherein said device comprises:
- a cladding hoop (2) defining an internal wall (22), and
- a fixing ring (1) forming receiving means (13) for holding the dispensing unit and a skirt (10) defining an internal wall (101), an external wall (102) and a free lower end (105), wherein said skirt further defines a first area (103) at which its internal wall (101) is intended to engage with the external wall (32) of the neck and a second area (104) at which its external wall (102) is tightly engaged with the internal wall (22) of the cladding hoop and spaced from the neck, characterized in that the second area (104) is located below the first area (103), substantially at the lower end (105) of the skirt;
- and wherein the second area has a greater internal diameter than that of the first area.
A fixing device for fixing a dispensing unit on a neck (30) of a container (3) defining an external wall (32), wherein said device comprises:
- a cladding hoop (2) defining an internal wall (22), and
- a fixing ring (1) forming receiving means (13) for holding the dispensing unit and a skirt (10) defining an internal wall (101), an external wall (102) and a free lower end (105), wherein said skirt further defines a first area (103) at which its internal wall (101) is intended to engage with the external wall (32) of the neck and a second area (104) at which its external wall (102) is tightly engaged with the internal wall (22) of the cladding hoop and spaced from the neck, characterized in that the second area (104) is located below the first area (103), substantially at the lower end (105) of the skirt;
- and wherein the cladding hoop (2) comprises a cylindrical body (20) inwardly defining the internal wall (22), wherein said body (20) defines a lower end (23) extending at least up to the free lower end (105) of the skirt and an upper end forming a re-entering flap (24), wherein the hoop is only in contact with the ring at the second area and the re-entering flap (24), the intermediate space (201) extending between the second locking area and the re-entering flap.
A container, comprising:
- a neck having a neck external wall;
- a dispensing unit;
- a fixing device that fixes the dispensing unit on the neck, the fixing device further comprising:
- a cladding hoop having a hoop internal wall;
- a fixing ring that holds the dispensing unit;
- and
- a skirt having a skirt internal wall, a skirt external wall, and a free lower end;
- wherein the skirt further has a first area at which the skirt internal wall is engaged with the neck external wall, and a second area at which the skirt external wall is tightly engaged with the hoop internal wall;
- wherein the second area is spaced radially outward from the neck;
- and
- wherein the second area is located below the first area, substantially at the free lower end of the skirt;
- and wherein the second area has an internal diameter that is larger than an internal diameter of the first area.
