Description

MEIO DE TAMPACOVER MEDIUM

A invenção se refere a um meio de tampa associável aum recipiente, em particular um meio de tampa do tipo deflip-top.The invention relates to a lid means associable with a container, in particular a deflip-top lid means.

Tampas de flip-top são conhecidas, que são feitas deplástico e compreendem um corpo disposto para ser fixado aum gargalo de recipiente por meio de um acoplamento roscadoe provido com um orifício de distribuição através do qualum produto contido dentro do recipiente pode serdistribuído. As tampas mencionadas anteriormente aindacompreendem uma parte de fechamento que é móvel entre umaconfiguração fechada, na qual a parte de fechamento éadjacente ao corpo para fechamento do orifício dedistribuição, e uma configuração aberta, na qual a parte defechamento está distante do corpo, para se permitir que oproduto seja retirado através do orifício de distribuição.Flip top caps are known, which are made of plastic and comprise a body arranged to be secured to a container neck by means of a threaded coupling and provided with a dispensing hole through which a product contained within the container can be dispensed. The aforementioned caps further comprise a closure portion that is movable between a closed configuration in which the closure portion is adjacent to the body for closing the distribution orifice, and an open configuration in which the closure portion is spaced from the body to allow The product is withdrawn through the distribution hole.

A parte de fechamento é conectada ao corpo através deuma articulação que pode ser muito volumosa. A articulaçãoé obtida em uma zona de extremidade periférica do corpo e éposicionada em um plano de apoio no qual o corpo e a partede fechamento estão em contato múltiplo na configuraçãofechada mencionada anteriormente.The closure portion is connected to the body through a joint that can be very bulky. The joint is obtained at a peripheral end zone of the body and is positioned in a support plane in which the body and the closure part are in multiple contact in the above-mentioned closed configuration.

O corpo compreende uma superfície lateral e umasuperfície de extremidade a partir da qual um elemento deprojeção é levado na qual o orifício de distribuição éobtido. O elemento de projeção é conformado de modo areceber a boca de um usuário.The body comprises a side surface and an end surface from which a spray element is carried into which the dispensing orifice is obtained. The projection element is shaped to receive the mouth of a user.

A partir da parte de fechamento, um membro de retençãose projeta, que é disposto para ser recebido no orifício dedistribuição.From the closing portion, a retaining member projects, which is arranged to be received in the distribution orifice.

As tampas mostradas acima compreendem uma banda àprova' de violação fixada à parte de fechamento através deelementos de ponte rompíveis.The caps shown above comprise a tamper-proof band secured to the closure portion by rupturable bridge members.

A banda à prova de violação é provida com primeiroselementos de travamento que se encaixam em segundoselementos de travamento obtidos no corpo.The tamper-proof band is provided with first locking elements that fit into second locking elements obtained from the body.

Quando a parte de fechamento é rodada em torno daarticulação, uma tensão é gerada, que rompe os elementos deponte, de modo a se separar a banda à prova de violação daparte de fechamento. Um usuário checando se a banda à provade violação está separada da parte de fechamento (e se oselementos de ponte rompiveis foram rompidos), é informadoda condição original de ou de uma possível violação doproduto contido dentro do recipiente.When the closing portion is rotated around the joint, a voltage is generated which breaks the deposing elements so as to separate the tamper-proof band from the closing portion. A user checking whether the tamper-evident band is separated from the closure portion (and if the rupturable bridge elements have been breached) is informed of the original condition of or possible violation of the product contained within the container.

Um inconveniente de tampas conhecidas é que, como osúltimos estão associados a um gargalo de recipiente, énecessário exercer uma força considerável para se permitirque os primeiros elementos de travamento se encaixem nossegundos elementos de travamento. Os elementos de pontepodem estar sob tensão, portanto, até um ponto em que sejamdanificados ou mesmo rompidos. De modo a se evitar esteinconveniente, elementos de ponte mais tenazes podem serusados, isto é, elementos de ponte tendo dimensões maiores.Estes elementos de ponte mais tenazes, não obstante, sãomais difíceis de romper durante uma primeira abertura datampa, o que é muito desagradável para um usuário.A drawback of known caps is that, since the latter are associated with a container neck, considerable force is required to allow the first locking elements to fit into our second locking elements. Bridge elements may therefore be under stress to a point where they are damaged or even ruptured. In order to avoid this inconvenience, tougher bridge elements can be used, i.e. bridge elements having larger dimensions. These tougher bridge elements, however, are more difficult to break during a first datamp opening, which is very unpleasant. for a user.

Quando as tampas mostradas acima são formadas, a partede fechamento está na configuração aberta.When the covers shown above are formed, the closing part is in the open configuration.

Subseqüentemente, antes de as tampas serem associadasaos gargalos de recipiente, a parte de fechamento é rodada,até que assuma a configuração fechada.Subsequently, before the lids are attached to the container necks, the closure portion is rotated until it assumes the closed configuration.

Um outro inconveniente de tampas conhecidas é quequando a parte de fechamento é movida da configuraçãoaberta para a configuração fechada, o membro de retençãopode não estar alinhado com o orifício de distribuição epode interferir com o elemento de projeção, tornando ofechamento da tampa difícil.Another drawback of known caps is that when the closure portion is moved from the open configuration to the closed configuration, the retaining member may not be aligned with the dispensing hole and may interfere with the projecting element, making lid closure difficult.

Além disso, os elementos de travamento podem não estaralinhados nos elementos de travamento adicionais, tornandoo fechamento da tampa ainda mais difícil.In addition, the locking elements may not be aligned with the additional locking elements, making closing the lid even more difficult.

Um inconveniente adicional das tampas conhecidas é queos elementos de travamento e/ou os elementos de travamentoadicionais escondem os elementos de ponte rompíveis,tornando muito difícil ou mesmo impossível que um usuáriocheque se os elementos de ponte rompíveis foram rompidos.A further drawback of known caps is that the locking elements and / or the additional locking elements conceal the breakable bridge elements, making it very difficult or even impossible for a user to check whether the breakable bridge elements have been broken.

Ainda um outro inconveniente das tampas conhecidas éque elas podem ser aplicadas a gargalos de recipienteapenas através de aparelhos de tamponamento dedicados, jáque os aparelhos de tamponamento convencionais compreendemferramentas que não são capazes de lidar com tampas tendoarticulações com dimensões gerais muito grandes.Yet another drawback of known caps is that they can be applied to container bottlenecks only through dedicated buffering devices, as conventional buffering devices comprise tools that are not able to handle caps having very large overall size joints.

a Figura 9 é uma vista em perspectiva ainda de umaoutra modalidade do meio de tampa.Figure 9 is a perspective view of yet another embodiment of the lid means.

As Figuras 1 a 5 mostram um meio de tampa 1 quecompreende um corpo 2, associável a um gargalo de umrecipiente, e um elemento de sobretampa 3 que pode oscilarcom respeito ao corpo 2.Figures 1 to 5 show a lid means 1 comprising a body 2, associable with a container neck, and an overcap element 3 which can oscillate with respect to the body 2.

O meio de tampa pode ser feito, por exemplo, atravésde uma formação com compressão de plásticos, ou através deuma moldagem por injeção de plásticos.The cap means may be made, for example, by compressed forming of plastics, or by injection molding of plastics.

O corpo 2 é provido internamente com uma rosca 5(mostrada na Figura 5), devido ao que o corpo 2 pode serrosqueado no gargalo.The body 2 is internally provided with a thread 5 (shown in Figure 5), whereby the body 2 can be threaded into the neck.

O corpo 2 compreende uma parede lateral 4 delimitadaacima por uma parede de extremidade 6 que se estendetransversalmente com respeito à parede lateral 4, na qual éprovida uma porção de distribuição 8 através da qual umproduto contido dentro do recipiente pode ser distribuído.The body 2 comprises a side wall 4 delimited above by an end wall 6 transversely extending with respect to the side wall 4, in which a dispensing portion 8 is provided through which a product contained within the container may be dispensed.

A parede de extremidade 6 define uma superfície deapoio 9 na qual o elemento de sobretampa 3 se confina parafechamento da porção de distribuição 8.The end wall 6 defines a supporting surface 9 on which the overcap element 3 abuts the closure of the dispensing portion 8.

O elemento de sobretampa 3 compreende uma outra paredelateral 7 delimitada acima por uma parede de fechamento 11disposta transversalmente com respeito à outra paredelateral 7.The overcap element 3 comprises another sidewall 7 delimited above by a closing wall 11 arranged transversely with respect to the other sidewall 7.

A partir da parede de fechamento 11, uma porção defechamento 10 se projeta transversalmente, que, quando oelemento de sobretampa 3 for colocado mais próximo dasuperfície de apoio 9, circunda a porção de distribuição 8.From the closing wall 11, a closing portion 10 projects transversely, which, when the overcap element 3 is placed closer to the supporting surface 9, surrounds the distribution portion 8.

A partir da parede de fechamento 11, um elemento deprojeção 41 ainda se projeta, que, quando o elemento desobretampa 3 for colocado próximo da superfície de apoio 9,penetra dentro de um orifício 42 obtido na porção dedistribuição 8.From the closing wall 11, a projection element 41 still protrudes, which, when the release element 3 is placed close to the support surface 9, penetrates into a hole 42 obtained in the distribution portion 8.

A parede de fechamento 11 é provida com um elemento desujeição 12 que recebe, durante uma abertura do recipiente,o polegar de um usuário.The closing wall 11 is provided with a lint element 12 which receives, during an opening of the container, a user's thumb.

O elemento de sobretampa 3 é conectado ao corpo 2 poruma articulação 13 que compreende dois elementos de conexão14 distanciados um do outro e um elemento de conexãoelástico 15 interposto entre os elementos de conexão 14.Overcap 3 is connected to body 2 by a hinge 13 comprising two spaced apart connecting elements 14 and an elastic connecting element 15 interposed between the connecting elements 14.

A articulação 13 permite que o elemento de sobretampa3 seja movido entre uma configuração fechada A (mostrada naFigura 1) , na qual a porção de fechamento 10 se encaixa naporção de distribuição 8, e uma configuração aberta B(mostrada na Figura 2), na qual a porção de fechamento 10está distanciada da porção de distribuição 8.The hinge 13 allows the overcap element 3 to be moved between a closed configuration A (shown in Figure 1), wherein the closing portion 10 fits into the distribution hub 8, and an open configuration B (shown in Figure 2), in which the closing portion 10 is distanced from the distribution portion 8.

A articulação 13 é obtida de forma periférica naparede de extremidade 6 e é conformada de modo a estarposicionada, na configuração fechada A, dentro de umaregião delimitada por uma borda de perímetro 32 da paredelateral 4.The hinge 13 is obtained peripherally from the end wall 6 and is shaped to be positioned in the closed configuration A within a region bounded by a perimeter edge 32 of the lateral wall 4.

Em outras palavras, a articulação 13 está mais próximada porção de distribuição 8 do que a parede lateral 4 e nãose projeta além da parede lateral 4.In other words, the joint 13 is closer to the dispensing portion 8 than the sidewall 4 and does not project beyond the sidewall 4.

Desta forma, o meio de tampa 1 pode ser aplicado agargalos de recipiente através de cabeçotes de tamponamentoconvencionais.In this way, the lid means 1 may be applied to container clamps by means of conventional buffer heads.

Os elementos de conexão 14 definem um eixo geométricode rotação X (mostrado na Figura 2) em torno do qual oelemento de sobretampa 3 roda.The connecting elements 14 define an X-axis geometric axis (shown in Figure 2) around which the overcap element 3 rotates.

0 eixo geométrico de rotação X é posicionado a umadistância D da superfície de apoio 9.The axis of rotation X is positioned at a distance D from the bearing surface 9.

A posição do eixo geométrico de rotação X permite quea porção de fechamento 10, o elemento de projeção 41 e aporção de distribuição 8, no momento de sua primeirainteração uns com os outros, quando o elemento desobretampa 3 for rodado a partir da configuração aberta Bpara a configuração fechada A, sejam mutuamente inclinadospor um ângulo de largura limitada.The position of the rotational geometry axis X allows that the closing portion 10, the projecting element 41 and the distribution port 8, at their first counter-rotation with each other, when the release element 3 is rotated from the open configuration B to closed configuration A, are mutually inclined by a limited width angle.

Em particular, a largura mencionada anteriormente émenor do que em casos nos quais o eixo geométrico derotação X fica no plano de apoio 9, conforme ocorre emtampas conhecidas.In particular, the aforementioned width is smaller than in cases where the axis of rotation X lies in the bearing plane 9 as occurs in known caps.

Desta forma, os riscos de interferência entre a paredede fechamento 11 - e/ou o elemento de projeção 41 - e aporção de distribuição 8, e inconvenientes deposicionamento mútuo são limitados, que possam impedir oelemento de sobretampa 3 de assumir a configuração fechadaA.Thus, the risks of interference between the closing wall 11 - and / or the projection element 41 - and the distribution port 8, and the inconvenience of mutual positioning are limited, which may prevent the overcap element 3 from assuming the closed configuration A.

Em particular, o elemento de projeção 41 é guiado emdireção ao orifício 42 e penetra dentro do último seminterferir com as paredes que o delimitam.In particular, the projecting element 41 is guided towards orifice 42 and penetrates into the latter without interfering with the bounding walls.

O elemento de conexão elástico 15 atua como uma molade retorno que permite que o elemento de sobretampa 3 sejamantido próximo da superfície de apoio 9 na configuraçãofechada A, e permite que o elemento de sobretampa 3 sejamantido distante da superfície de apoio 9 na configuraçãoaberta B.The elastic connecting element 15 acts as a return spring allowing the overcap element 3 to be kept close to the bearing surface 9 in the closed configuration A, and to allow the overcap element 3 to be kept away from the bearing surface 9 in the open configuration B.

O elemento de sobretampa 3 é provido com um meio deindicação de abertura 16 que permite que um usuário chequese o meio de tampa 1 foi violado.The overcap element 3 is provided with an opening indicating means 16 which allows a user to check the lid means 1 has been tampered with.

O meio de indicação de abertura 16 compreende duasbandas à prova de violação 17, as quais, antes de o meio detampa 1 ser aberto pela primeira vez, são conectadas àoutra parede lateral 7 através de elementos de ponte 18.The opening indicating means 16 comprises two tamper-proof straps 17 which, before the first lid means 1 is first opened, are connected to the other side wall 7 by bridge members 18.

As bandas à prova de violação 17 definem porções daoutra parede lateral 7.Tamper-proof bands 17 define portions of the other sidewall 7.

The locking promotion surface 30 is inclined with respect to the bearing surface 9 so as to eagle each hook element 23 to the corresponding hook hole 28.

A superfície de promoção de encaixe 30 é inclinada comrespeito a uma direção de abordagem pretendida ao longo daqual o elemento de sobretampa 3 é colocado próximo do corpo 2.The locking promotion surface 30 is inclined with respect to a desired approach direction along which the overcap element 3 is placed close to the body 2.

Em extremidades opostas de cada primeira parede 27 sãoprovidas segundas paredes 31 que se projetam a partir daparede 27 para uma zona mais interna da superfície de apoio9, de forma a ser disposta transversalmente à borda deperímetro 32. As segundas paredes 31 tornam o meio deindicação de abertura 16 mais seguro e mais confiável, àmedida que as bandas à prova de violação 17 são circundadasem vários lados e, portanto, são mais protegidas, de modo ase limitar o risco de violação.At opposite ends of each first wall 27 are provided second walls 31 protruding from the wall 27 into an innermost portion of the bearing surface 9 so as to be disposed transversely of the perimeter edge 32. The second walls 31 render the opening means. 16 safer and more reliable, as tamper-proof bands 17 are encircled on many sides and therefore more protected so as to limit the risk of tampering.

As porções de travamento 26 compreendem um meio deguia 34 disposto para guiar as bandas à prova de violação17, quando o meio de tampa 1 for fechado pela primeira vez.O meio de guia 34 se projeta a partir da superfície deapoio 9, é mais distante da borda de perímetro 32 do que asprimeiras paredes 27 e se volta para as últimas. O meio deguia 34 compreende um par de elementos de guia deextremidade 33 conectados às segundas paredes 31 e umelemento de guia intermediário 35 interposto entre os doiselementos de guia de extremidade 33. Em uma modalidade quenão é mostrada, uma pluralidade de elementos de guiaintermediários pode ser provida.The locking portions 26 comprise a guide means 34 arranged to guide the tamper-proof bands 17 when the lid means 1 is first closed. The guide means 34 protrudes from the support surface 9, is farthest from the perimeter edge 32 than the first walls 27 and turns to the latter. The middle guide 34 comprises a pair of end guide members 33 connected to the second walls 31 and an intermediate guide element 35 interposed between the two end guide elements 33. In one embodiment not shown, a plurality of intermediate guide elements may be provided. .

Em uma outra modalidade que não é mostrada, oselementos de guia de extremidade podem não estar conectadosàs segundas paredes 31.In another embodiment not shown, the end guide elements may not be connected to the second walls 31.

Os elementos de guia de extremidade 33 e o elemento deguia intermediário 35 são posicionados de modo queinterajam com a segunda superfície 21 da banda à prova deviolação 17.End guide members 33 and intermediate guide member 35 are positioned such that they interact with the second surface 21 of the tamperproof band 17.

Ainda, os elementos de guia de extremidade 33 e oelemento de guia intermediário 35 são dispostos noselementos de ponte 18.Further, the end guide elements 33 and the intermediate guide element 35 are disposed on the bridge elements 18.

Quando o meio de tampa 1 é fechado pela primeira vez,a banda à prova de violação 17 é empurrada em direção àsuperfície de apoio 9 para se encaixar na porção detravamento 26 correspondente. O elemento de gancho 23,devido à superfície de promoção de encaixe 30, é induzido aocupar o orifício de gancho 28 correspondente.When the lid means 1 is closed for the first time, the tamper-proof band 17 is pushed towards the bearing surface 9 to fit the corresponding locking portion 26. The hook element 23, due to the locking promotion surface 30, is induced to occupy the corresponding hook hole 28.

Quando a terceira superfície 24 interage com aprimeira parede 27, os elementos de ponte 18 sãodeformados. Uma deformação excessiva poderia fazer com queos elementos de ponte 18 se rompessem e, portanto, ostornaria ineficientes como dispositivos indicadores deabertura.When the third surface 24 interacts with the first wall 27, the bridge elements 18 are deformed. Excessive deformation could cause the bridge elements 18 to rupture and thus become inefficient as opening indicating devices.

De modo a se evitar que os elementos de ponte 18fiquem excessivamente deformados, o meio de guia 34 limitaa flexão das bandas à prova de violação 17 nos elementos deponte 18, impedindo os últimos de romperem prematuramente.In order to prevent the bridge members 18 from being excessively deformed, the guide means 34 limits flexion of the tamper-proof bands 17 in the bearing elements 18, preventing the latter from breaking prematurely.

Ainda, o meio de guia 34 reduz o risco de violação. Omeio de guia, de fato, impede os elementos de gancho deserem empurrados em direção à porção de distribuição 8,isto é, para dentro do meio de tampa 1, para seremdesencaixados dos respectivos orifícios de gancho 28.Further, guide means 34 reduces the risk of tampering. The guide means, in fact, prevents the hook elements from being pushed towards the dispensing portion 8, i.e. into the lid means 1, to be detached from the respective hook holes 28.

Em cada porção de travamento 2 6, em uma zona que émais distante da superfície de apoio 9, aberturas deinspeção 36 são obtidas que, quando o elemento desobretampa estiver na configuração fechada A, permitem queum usuário inspecione os elementos de ponte 18 para checaro não rompimento dos mesmos.At each locking portion 26, in a zone that is farthest from the bearing surface 9, inspection openings 36 are obtained that when the release element is in closed configuration A, allow a user to inspect the bridge elements 18 for non-breakage. of the same.

Quando o meio de tampa 1 é aberto pela primeira vez,um usuário atua sobre o elemento de sujeição 12 de modo aremover o elemento de sobretampa 3 da superfície de apoio9. As porções de travamento 26 impedem as bandas à prova deviolação 17 de se moverem em conjunto com o elemento desobretampa 3. Isto gera uma tensão que rompe os elementosde ponte 18.When the lid means 1 is first opened, a user acts on the fastener 12 so as to remove the overcap element 3 from the bearing surface9. The locking portions 26 prevent the tamper-proof bands 17 from moving together with the unfolding element 3. This generates a tension that breaks the bridge elements 18.

Os elementos de gancho interagem com os orifícios degancho 28, de modo que as bandas à prova de violação 17sejam retidas no corpo 2 e não sejam dispersas no ambiente.The hook elements interact with the hook holes 28, so that tamper-proof bands 17 are retained in body 2 and are not dispersed into the environment.

As bandas à prova de violação 17 são retidas no corpo2 também devido a uma estrutura de labirinto, ou estruturade gaiola, definida pela primeira parede 27 (e pelosorifícios de gancho 28 com os quais a primeira parede 27 éprovida), pelo meio de guia 34 e possivelmente pelassegundas paredes 31.Tamperproof strips 17 are retained in body 2 also due to a maze structure, or cage structure, defined by the first wall 27 (and the hook holes 28 with which the first wall 27 is provided), the guide means 34 and possibly by the second walls 31.

A estrutura de labirinto, ou estrutura de gaiola,mencionada acima, permite que um meio de tampa 1 com grandeinviolabilidade seja obtido. As bandas à prova de violação17 e as porções de travamento 26 são mais próximas do eixogeométrico de rotação X do que o elemento de sujeição 12.The labyrinth structure, or cage structure mentioned above, allows a highly tamper-resistant lid means 1 to be obtained. The tamper-proof strips17 and locking portions 26 are closer to the X-axis exogeometric than the fastener 12.

Como a distância do elemento de sujeição 12 a partirda articulação 13 é maior do que as distâncias de cada umdos elementos de ponte 18 da articulação 13, uma força depromoção de abertura exercida no elemento de sujeição 12por um usuário assim tem um braço maior do que o braço deforças resistindo à abertura e geradas pelos elementos deponte 18.Since the distance of the clamping element 12 from the hinge 13 is greater than the distances of each of the bridging elements 18 of the hinge 13, an opening-pushing force exerted on the clamping element 12 by such a user has an arm larger than the arm forces resisting opening and generated by the supporting elements 18.

Como resultado, o usuário pode abrir facilmente o meiode tampa 1, também explorando a alavanca que é favorável aele, que é definida pelo arranjo em particular doselementos de ponte 18 e do elemento de sujeição 12 noelemento de sobretampa 3.Ainda, como os elementos de ponte 18 de cada banda àprova de violação 17 são dispostos a distâncias diferentesdo eixo geométrico de rotação X - e, então, quando o meiode tampa é aberto pela primeira vez, estão sujeitas a umadeformação que é maior do que quanto maior sua distânciafor do eixo geométrico de rotação X - é possível romper emseqüência os elementos de ponte 18, de modo que o meio detampa possa ser aberto com maior facilidade.As a result, the user can easily open the lid half 1, also by exploiting the lever which is favorable for it, which is defined by the particular arrangement of the bridge elements 18 and the clamping element 12 in the overcap element 3. Still, as the locking elements Bridge 18 of each tamper-proof band 17 are arranged at different distances from the X axis of rotation - and then, when the first lid is first opened, they are subjected to a deformation that is greater than the greater their distance from the geometry axis. of rotation X - the bridge elements 18 can subsequently be broken so that the middle of the lid can be opened more easily.

Em uma modalidade que não é mostrada, os elementos deponte 18 dispostos próximos do elemento de sujeição 12 têmseções transversais que são menores do que as seçõestransversais dos elementos de ponte 18 dispostos próximosda articulação 13.In one embodiment not shown, the biasing elements 18 disposed near the fastener 12 have transverse sections that are smaller than the cross sections of the bridging elements 18 disposed near the hinge 13.

Em particular, as seções transversais dos elementos deponte aumentam progressivamente quanto mais próximos elesestiverem da articulação 13.In particular, the cross sections of the deponent elements increase progressively the closer they are to the joint 13.

Como resultado, durante o primeiro fechamento do meiode tampa 1, os primeiros elementos de ponte 18 a seremtensionados são aqueles mais próximos da articulação 13,isto é, os mais resistentes.As a result, during the first closure of the half cover 1, the first bridge elements 18 to be tensioned are those closest to the joint 13, that is, the most resistant.

Isto significa que os riscos de danos, ou ruptura, doselementos de ponte 18 durante o primeiro fechamento do meiode tampa 1 são reduzidos.This means that the risk of damage or rupture of the bridge elements 18 during the first closure of the middle cap 1 is reduced.

Durante a primeira abertura do meio de tampa 1, oselementos de ponte 18 que são os mais tensionados sãoaqueles que estão mais próximos do elemento de sujeição 12,isto é, os menos resistentes.During the first opening of the lid means 1, the bridging elements 18 which are the most tensioned are those which are closest to the fastening element 12, i.e. the least resistant.

Isto permite que a primeira abertura do meio de tampa1 seja facilitada.This allows the first opening of the lid means 1 to be facilitated.

Concluindo, como as seções transversais dos elementosde ponte 18 aumentam prosseguindo a partir do elemento desujeição 12 para a articulação 13, é possível limitar osriscos de ruptura dos elementos de ponte, durante oprimeiro fechamento do meio de tampa 1, e obter um selomelhorado.In conclusion, as the cross-sections of the bridge members 18 increase from proceeding from the debris element 12 to the joint 13, it is possible to limit the risks of breakage of the bridge members during the first closure of the lid means 1 and to obtain an improved seal.

As Figuras 6 e 7 mostram uma outra modalidade do meiode tampa 1 compreendendo uma banda à prova de violaçãoúnica (a outra banda à prova de violação 37) cooperando comuma única porção de travamento correspondente (a outraporção de travamento 38).Figures 6 and 7 show another embodiment of the cap 1 comprising a single tamper-proof band (the other tamper-proof band 37) cooperating with a corresponding single locking portion (the other locking portion 38).

A outra porção de travamento 38 é disposta em um ladooposto da articulação 13 com respeito à porção dedistribuição 8, enquanto a outra banda à prova de violação37 é disposta próxima do elemento de sujeição 12. Destaforma, quando o elemento de sobretampa 3 está naconfiguração fechada A (mostrada na Figura 7), a outrabanda à prova de violação 37 coopera com a outra porção detravamento 38 e é disposta entre o elemento de sujeição 12e a superfície de apoio 9. A outra banda à prova deviolação 37 pode ter uma extensão maior do que as bandas àprova de violação 17 e pode compreender um número maior deelementos de gancho 23, por exemplo, três elementos degancho 23. De forma correspondente, a outra porção detravamento 38 pode ser provida com três orifícios de gancho28.The other locking portion 38 is disposed on one side of the hinge 13 with respect to the distributing portion 8, while the other tamper-proof band37 is disposed close to the fastener 12. Thus, when the overcap element 3 is in the closed configuration A (shown in Figure 7), the tamperproof band 37 cooperates with the other locking portion 38 and is disposed between the securing member 12 and the bearing surface 9. The other tamper-proof band 37 may have a length greater than tamper-proof webs 17 and may comprise a greater number of hook elements 23, for example three hook elements 23. Correspondingly, the other locking portion 38 may be provided with three hook holes 28.

A outra banda à prova de violação 37 pode ser providacom um número maior de elementos de ponte 18 (por exemplo,quatro) com respeito às bandas à prova de violação 17.The other tamperproof band 37 may be provided with a larger number of bridge members 18 (e.g. four) with respect to tamper proof bands 17.

Assim sendo, a outra porção de travamento 38 podecompreender um número correspondente de aberturas decontrole 36.Accordingly, the other locking portion 38 may comprise a corresponding number of control openings 36.

Com referência às Figuras 1 a 9, um anel à prova deviolação 39 pode ser conectado ao corpo 2 através deporções de ponte 40 que são rompidas se o corpo 2 forafrouxado do gargalo, desse modo se indicando que o meio detampa foi aberto ou violado.Referring to Figures 1 to 9, a tamperproof ring 39 may be connected to body 2 through bridge portions 40 which are ruptured if body 2 has been slackened from the neck, thereby indicating that the cap means has been opened or tampered with.

Conforme mostrado na figura 8, a porção dedistribuição 8 se projeta a partir de um meio de parede 43disposto substancialmente paralelo à superfície de apoio 9e mais distante do anel à prova de violação 39 do que asuperfície de apoio 9.As shown in Figure 8, the distribution portion 8 projects from a wall means 43 disposed substantially parallel to the bearing surface 9 and farther from the tamper-proof ring 39 than the bearing surface 9.

Nesse caso, um usuário pode apoiar sua boca sobre omeio de parede 43, ao invés de na superfície de apoio 9,impedindo uma interação, mesmo que acidental, com asporções de travamento 26 ou com a outra porção detravamento 38.In this case, a user may rest his mouth on wall middle 43 rather than on the support surface 9, preventing even an accidental interaction with the locking portions 26 or with the other locking portion 38.

Com referência à Figura 9, é mostrado um meio de tampa1 que compreende um meio de recesso 4 4 obtido no corpo 2 edisposto para o recebimento das bandas à prova de violação17, quando o elemento de sobretampa 3 estiver naconfiguração fechada A.Referring to Figure 9, a cap means 1 comprising recess means 4 obtained in body 2 arranged for receiving tamper-proof bands 17 is shown when overcap element 3 is in closed configuration A.

O meio de recesso 44 tem uma abertura 45 na superfíciede apoio 9 e é parcialmente delimitado pelas porções detravamento 26 que são posicionadas de modo que definam umprolongamento da parede lateral 4.The recess means 44 has an opening 45 in the support surface 9 and is partially delimited by the interlocking portions 26 which are positioned so as to define a side wall extension 4.

As porções de travamento 26 não se projetam a partirdo meio de recesso 44 através da abertura 45.The locking portions 26 do not protrude from the recess 44 through the opening 45.

Em outras palavras, as porções de travamento 2 6 sãoconformadas de modo que não se projetem a partir do corpo 2além da superfície de apoio 9.In other words, the locking portions 26 are shaped so that they do not protrude from the body 2 beyond the bearing surface 9.

Desta forma, o meio de tampa 1 é mais confortável paraum usuário, que não corre o risco de interagir, mesmo queacidentalmente, com as porções de travamento 26.In this way, the lid means 1 is more comfortable for a user, who does not risk interacting even accidentally with the locking portions 26.

Tanto na modalidade mostrada na Figura 8 quanto namodalidade mostrada na Figura 9, um meio de superfície debocal pode ser identificado - definido, respectivamente,pelo meio de parede 43 ou pela superfície de apoio 9, - oqual é disposto para o recebimento da boca de um usuário eé mais distante de uma zona do corpo 2 oposta à porção dedistribuição do que as porções de travamento 26.In both the embodiment shown in Figure 8 and the embodiment shown in Figure 9, a debocal surface means can be identified - defined respectively by the wall means 43 or the support surface 9 - which is arranged to receive the mouth of a mouth. The user is farther from a zone of the body 2 opposite the distribution portion than the locking portions 26.
