Description

  

  
 



  Couvercle pour récipient
 La présente invention se rapporte à un couvercle, destiné à être serti sur le rebord d'un récipient, du type comprenant une bande de déchirure.



   Dans la pratique, ce type de couvercle présente certains inconvénients.   I1    arrive fréquemment que la bande de déchirure casse au cours de l'opération d'ouverture.



  De plus, lorsque le récipient a été rempli à chaud par exemple et que le couvercle a été serti hermétiquement, le refroidissement du contenu provoque une dépression à l'intérieur. De ce fait, même après que la bande de déchirure a été enlevée, la pression atmosphérique qui s'exerce sur le couvercle rend difficile sa séparation d'avec le récipient.



   Le couvercle selon l'invention évite les inconvénients précités.



   Il est caractérisé par le fait que la bande de déchirure est divisée en deux segments, séparés par une languette solidaire du corps du couvercle.



   Le dessin annexé représente, à titre d'exemple, une forme d'exécution de l'invention.



   La fig. 1 est une vue en plan de l'ensemble du couvercle et du récipient.



   Les fig. 2 et 3 sont des vues de profil du couvercle serti sur le récipient, dans les directions   II    et III respectivement de la fig. 1.



   La fig. 4 est une coupe partielle à plus grande échelle, selon la ligne IV-IV de la fig. 1, du rebord du récipient et du bord du couvercle.



   Dans l'exemple représenté au dessin, le récipient 1, de forme générale cylindrique, est constitué par une feuille de métal emboutie, dont le bord est roulé vers l'extérieur pour former un boudin 2.



   Le couvercle 3 est également constitué par une feuille de métal emboutie.   I1    comporte un bord 4 dans lequel   est ménagée une rainure d'affaiblissement 5   (fig. 4). La    partie inférieure du bord 4 constitue ainsi une bande de déchirure 6. Entre le rebord 2 du récipient 1 et le bord 4 du couvercle 3 se trouve un joint d'étanchéité 7 en matière plastique. Ainsi que le montrent les fig. 1 à 3, la bande de déchirure 6 est divisée en deux segments 8 et 9 séparés par une languette 10 solidaire du corps du couvercle 3. Chacun de ces segments se termine par une languette 11, 12 respectivement, qui facilite la prise et la traction sur le segment correspondant de la bande de déchirure.



   La division en deux segments de la bande de déchirure réduit la longueur à arracher d'une seule traite et diminue par conséquent les risques de rupture de la bande et de blessures aux mains au cours de l'opération d'ouverture. Il est même possible de saisir chacune des languettes 11 et 12 dans une main et de tirer sur les deux segments à la fois.



   Enfin, lorsque les deux segments 8 et 9 ont été arrachés, la languette 10 reste solidaire du corps du couvercle 3 et permet de soulever aisément ce dernier, même lorsqu'il est retenu par la dépression régnant à l'intérieur du récipient. Il est à noter qu'en raison de sa position absolument distincte des languettes de traction 11 et 12, la languette d'ouverture 10 ne risque pas d'être confondue avec ces dernières. Il est toutefois évident que la languette 10 représentée au dessin pourrait être placée ailleurs à la périphérie du couvercle, la longueur des segments 8 et 9 étant alors inégale.



   De nombreuses autres variantes sont possibles. En particulier, la forme générale du récipient 1 et du couvercle 3, la matière qui les constitue et la composition du joint 7 peuvent être quelconques.



   Par exemple, le récipient peut avoir la forme d'un cylindre de faible hauteur, d'un tronc de cône, d'un pot ou d'un flacon; il peut être en métal, en matière plastique, en verre ou en céramique. Le joint peut être en matière plastique ou en caoutchouc. Le couvercle, enfin, peut être en aluminium, en fer-blanc ou en matière plastique.
  



  
 



  Lid for container
 The present invention relates to a cover, intended to be crimped onto the rim of a container, of the type comprising a tear strip.



   In practice, this type of cover has certain drawbacks. It often happens that the tear strip breaks during the opening operation.



  In addition, when the container has been filled hot, for example, and the lid has been sealed, the cooling of the contents causes a vacuum inside. Therefore, even after the tear strip has been removed, the atmospheric pressure exerted on the lid makes it difficult to separate it from the container.



   The cover according to the invention avoids the aforementioned drawbacks.



   It is characterized by the fact that the tear strip is divided into two segments, separated by a tongue integral with the body of the cover.



   The accompanying drawing represents, by way of example, one embodiment of the invention.



   Fig. 1 is a plan view of the entire cover and container.



   Figs. 2 and 3 are side views of the crimped lid on the container, in directions II and III respectively of FIG. 1.



   Fig. 4 is a partial section on a larger scale, along the line IV-IV of FIG. 1, the rim of the container and the edge of the lid.



   In the example shown in the drawing, the container 1, of generally cylindrical shape, consists of a stamped sheet of metal, the edge of which is rolled outwards to form a coil 2.



   The cover 3 is also formed by a stamped metal sheet. I1 comprises an edge 4 in which is formed a weakening groove 5 (FIG. 4). The lower part of the edge 4 thus constitutes a tear strip 6. Between the rim 2 of the container 1 and the edge 4 of the cover 3 there is a seal 7 made of plastic. As shown in Figs. 1 to 3, the tear strip 6 is divided into two segments 8 and 9 separated by a tongue 10 integral with the body of the cover 3. Each of these segments ends with a tongue 11, 12 respectively, which facilitates the grip and the traction on the corresponding segment of the tear strip.



   Dividing the tear strip into two segments reduces the length to be torn off in one go and therefore decreases the risk of the strip breaking and hand injuries during the opening operation. It is even possible to grasp each of the tabs 11 and 12 in one hand and pull out both segments at the same time.



   Finally, when the two segments 8 and 9 have been torn off, the tongue 10 remains integral with the body of the cover 3 and makes it possible to easily lift the latter, even when it is retained by the vacuum prevailing inside the container. It should be noted that due to its absolutely separate position from the pull tabs 11 and 12, the opening tab 10 is not at risk of being confused with the latter. However, it is obvious that the tongue 10 shown in the drawing could be placed elsewhere on the periphery of the cover, the length of segments 8 and 9 then being unequal.



   Many other variations are possible. In particular, the general shape of the container 1 and of the cover 3, the material which constitutes them and the composition of the seal 7 can be arbitrary.



   For example, the container may have the shape of a low-rise cylinder, a truncated cone, a pot or a flask; it can be made of metal, plastic, glass or ceramic. The seal can be made of plastic or rubber. The cover, finally, can be made of aluminum, tinplate or plastic.
