Definitions

  • the present invention relates to closure devices for flasks, bottles and other receptacles with a threaded neck, and more particularly, a closure element of the so-called "capsule" type constituted by an internally threaded cylindrical cap intended to be screwed onto the corresponding thread of the neck. of the bottle, said cap being secured and sometimes made in one piece with an envelope or an external cover giving the capsule an aesthetic appearance.
  • a closure element of the so-called "capsule" type constituted by an internally threaded cylindrical cap intended to be screwed onto the corresponding thread of the neck. of the bottle, said cap being secured and sometimes made in one piece with an envelope or an external cover giving the capsule an aesthetic appearance.
  • the end-of-travel blocking position of the inner cap is very often slightly offset as a result of the wear of the threads or the packing of the sealing elements and there is no more therefore obtains the correct orientation of the closure element relative to the body of the bottle.
  • a device has also been proposed in which a snap-fit engagement of the hubcap is used on the body of the bottle in the vicinity of the end-of-stroke locking position of the cap.
  • the hubcap and the threaded cap are integral with each other, the peripheral edge of the hubcap forming a projecting lip and the upper surface of the bottle surrounding the neck carrying at its periphery a surface of support forming a groove in which the lip of the peripheral edge of the hubcap must come to fit so as to align the sections.
  • the relative longitudinal movement ensuring the interlocking of the lip and of the groove must be carried out during a very limited angle rotation corresponding to a fraction of about an eighth of a turn of the plugging element which must therefore have a very fast pitch thread.
  • the wall of the bottle between the nesting groove and the threaded neck must be elastically deformable since the upper surface of this wall is already in contact with the edge of the lip of the hubcap while the latter must still be, under the effect of the cap screwing down from the height of the socket. It follows that the bottle must be made of flexible plastic, which prohibits glass bottles or other rigid material as usually used in luxury perfumery.
  • the object of the present invention is to remedy the above drawbacks by providing a closure element, the trim of which is, in the closure position, always oriented correctly with respect to the body of the bottle.
  • the invention achieves this result by partially detaching the axial displacement of the bottle and an element orientation of the stopper fixed to rotation relative to the bottle and carrying a radial stop coming to cooperate at the end of the screwing stroke with a radial stop secured to the cap.
  • This radial stop can be achieved by a snap-fit with longitudinal interlocking between the orientation element and a part of the plug which can be the cap or the hubcap.
  • the orientation element of the stopper consists of an embellishing sleeve slidingly fitting the periphery of the bottle and resiliently biased towards the neck, this embellishing sleeve carrying an element forming a stop for rotation for the plug.
  • the stop can be constituted by an interlocking of the peripheral skirt of the embellishment of the stopper in a groove carried by the upper edge of the embellishing sleeve of the bottle.
  • the elastic stress of the embellished sleeve can be ensured by any elastic means acting between the upper surface of the bottle and said embellished sleeve with a second stop limiting the movement of the embellished sleeve against the action of the elastic means.
  • this second stop is formed by engaging a ring secured to the embellished sleeve under the peripheral ring provided at a certain height of the neck.
  • the device may consist of a ring capable of enclosing the neck of the bottle and carrying, on the one hand, means which engage under the peripheral ring of the neck and, on the other hand, means for securing with the embellished sleeve from the bottle.
  • the elastic means can act on the embellishing sleeve or on the ring and be constituted for example by elastic tabs bearing on the upper face of the bottle.
  • the means for securing the ring to the embellished sleeve can be constituted by a latching device.
  • the cover sleeve only acts as a body ensuring the fixity of the orientation, relative to the bottle, of the element d orientation of the stopper which is placed around the neck and cooperates with a stop member inside the cover of the stopper.
  • the surface of the seal between the embellishment of the bottle and the embellishment of the cap must be flat and the device which only mechanically allows an orientation abutment by longitudinal interlocking between an element integral with the bottle and a element attached to the stopper does not eliminate any play between the embellishment of the bottle and that of the stopper.
  • the member ensuring the fixity of the orientation, relative to the bottle, of the element of orientation of the stopper is fixed on the neck of the bottle, the orientation element of the stopper cooperating with the cap of the stopper and being secured to the member ensuring the fixity of the orientation by an elastic element.
  • FIGS. 1, 2, 4 and 5 are applied to a bottle 1 (shown in dashed lines) of ellipsoidal section comprising a threaded neck 2-with, at the base of the threaded part, a rod 3.
  • the bottle preferably comprises a zone 4, adjacent to the upper surface 5, zone 4 which also has an ellipsoidal section but of smaller diameters and intended to be fitted by a bottle cap.
  • the vial cover 6 comprises a skirt of ellipsoidal section 7 capable of sliding on the area 4 and an upper surface 8 which is joined to the skirt 7 by a groove 9.
  • the latter comprises a ring 10 surrounding the neck, ring which is split at 11 to form, for example, four tongues 12 having a tooth 13 which, by deformation elastic of the tongue which carries it, can be engaged under the rod 3 of the neck.
  • the lower face of the surface 8 carries two elastic tongues 14 forming springs which bear on the upper face 5 of the bottle to push the bottle cover 6 upwards with the teeth 13 bearing under the rod 3.
  • the capsule stopper includes a cover 15 whose skirt 16 can fit into the groove 9 and a central threaded cap 17 with a thread corresponding to that of the neck 2 in which a known seal 18 is placed.
  • the edge of the skirt 16 which is not of revolution comes to bear on the upper surface 8 of the hubcap and due to the screwing pushes the hubcap 6 against the action of the elastic tabs 14 until the sections being in coincidence, the skirt 16 of the cap hubcap engages in the groove 9 of the bottle cap, which rises then under the action of the elastic tongues 14, which ensures immobilization of the stopper on rotation and a perfect coincidence of the ellipsoidal sections of the bottle, of the bottle cover and of the stopper cover.
  • the device also avoids any play, in the closed position, between the bottle cover and the cap cover.
  • the tabs 19 can protrude slightly on the periphery of the ring 10 for, by engagement in corresponding notches provided on the periphery of the circular orifice of the bottle cap, maintain the orientation of the ring 10 and elastic tabs 14.
  • the ring 10 - hubcap 6 assembly works exactly like the closure device described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • the hubcap 21 is fixed relative to the bottle and it comprises, in the center of its upper face 22, a ring 23 comprising two tongues 24 with a tooth 25 which engages under the ring 3 to keep the hubcap in position.
  • the ring 23 forms a guide for elements in a cylindrical sector 26 which can slide inside the latter, between the ring 23 and the rod 3.
  • These elements in sector 26 are carried by elastic tongues 27 carried at their other end by a crown 28 which fits into the hubcap 21 while resting on the upper surface of the bottle.
  • each sector has a substantially radial section while the other end 30 forms a ramp, the end 29 thereby forming a stop in the screwing direction for a tooth 31 of trapezoidal section carried by the free edge of the cap 17 which screws onto the neck 2.
  • the tooth 31 or the two diametrically opposed teeth come to bear on the upper edge of the sectors 26 and push them back, at the same time as the screwing progresses, against the action of the elastic tongues 27.
  • the tooth 31 engages between the surfaces 29 and 30, which immobilizes the cap 17 and the hubcap 15 which is integral therewith with a setting in perfect coincidence of the bottle and embellishment sections.
  • the elastic tongues 27 could be integral with the bottle cap limited to a peripheral crown without the upper surface 22, but the visible tongues on the upper face of the open bottle would be detrimental to the aesthetics.
  • the device could also be produced in the form of two rings joined by elastic V-shaped tongues or a double elastic frustoconical veil, the ring not carrying the latching notch being force fitted on the base of the neck below the rod or secured to it by a means preventing its rotation under the screwing force.
