Definitions

  • the invention relates to a tamper-evident cap.
  • the tamper-evident stoppers include a lower chamber comprising at least one seat with which a valve cooperates, the role of which is to ensure its closure, except when the bottle occupies the tilt position necessary for emptying the liquid which 'it contains; the aforementioned lower chamber is surmounted by an upper chamber containing means provided to prevent the introduction of objects which would allow the valve to be raised relative to its seat and thus to introduce liquid into the bottle.
  • a lower chamber comprising at least one seat with which a valve cooperates, the role of which is to ensure its closure, except when the bottle occupies the tilt position necessary for emptying the liquid which 'it contains
  • the aforementioned lower chamber is surmounted by an upper chamber containing means provided to prevent the introduction of objects which would allow the valve to be raised relative to its seat and thus to introduce liquid into the bottle.
  • the document FR-A-339 637 relates to a plug of the so-called inviolable type; and, above the ball, is provided a baffle element with radial lamellae offset to one another, which is normally intended to prevent access to this ball.
  • this element alone is insufficient since it is easy to access the ball by means, for example, of a metal wire.
  • the only baffle element placed above the ball does not prevent the introduction of a powdery product. With such a cap, it is therefore easy to introduce a liquid into the bottle.
  • Document GB-A-221 667 also relates to a plug of the so-called tamper-evident type in which there is provided, above the closing valve, a member intended to theoretically prevent access to this valve.
  • This organ consists of a grid which has a planar shape.
  • this grid alone does not systematically prohibit access to the valve. It is in fact easy, either to pass a metallic wire through the grid allowing access to the valve, or to introduce a pulverulent product to maintain the valve in the raised position.
  • the document FR-A-1 055 727 likewise relates to a plug of the so-called tamper-proof type in which a safety means is placed above the closing valve.
  • This means of security consists of a baffle system; but this security is insufficient because it is possible to keep the valve raised, for example by means of granulated sugar.
  • the object of the present invention is to produce a truly tamper-evident stopper, the baffle system of which in particular makes fraud impossible by the introduction of a pulverulent product.
  • a tamper-evident cap of the type indicated above characterized in that in the upper chamber are superimposed and combined from top to bottom: a baffle element with radial strips offset from one to the other , a grid having a convexity in the direction of the top of the stopper, and a baffle element delimiting itself a chamber whose two end faces have several orifices which are offset from one face to the other and are extended by internal chimneys not communicating directly with each other.
  • the lower baffle is constituted by two plastic discs each vanant of molding with three small tubes which pass through them, are distributed concentrically with respect to the longitudinal axis of the plug, essentially overflow the opposite faces of these two discs and end in shoulders thanks to which the tubes of one disc bear on those of the other disc, while being offset with respect to them.
  • the upper disc moreover advantageously has, moreover, a central tube helping to regulate the flow of the liquid.
  • the cap shown by way of example in FIG. 1 consists of two superimposed bodies, fitted together and definitively linked to each other; these are the lower body (1) and the upper body (2).
  • the lower one (1) contains a mechanism by which the liquid can only circulate in one direction, namely that of emptying the bottle; this mechanism which is not visible in the drawing can be of any type and consist in particular of a system essentially comprising a seat and a valve.
  • the upper body (2) which ends in a pouring spout (3), contains a mechanism making it impossible to access the mechanism contained in the lower body (1), in order to avoid the introduction, inside of the plug, of objects which would enable the tamper-proof mechanism contained in the lower body (1) to be put out of service. It is precisely this complementary inviolability mechanism contained in the upper body (2) which is the subject of the invention.
  • the upper body (2) in fact serves as a housing for three members which are superimposed and which consist, respectively, of an upper baffle element (4), an intermediate grid (5) and a lower baffle element (6) .
  • the upper baffle element (4) consists of a metal disc in the peripheral zone from which are cut radial fins (7) which are offset from one another.
  • the grid (5) is metallic; it has the particularity of being convex and is supported by its periphery on a shoulder (8) provided in the body (2) of the plug.
  • the lower baffle element (6) it rests on the same shoulder and it is constituted by two plastic discs, respectively (9a, 9b) each having three small tubes or chimneys (10) which are arranged concentrically and are distributed at 120 ° from each other relative to the center of the disc considered.
  • Each of these tubes (10) ends in a shoulder (11) and their diameter is such that the two discs (9a, 9b) are offset by 60 ° relative to each other, the tubes of one are supported on the tubes of the other, while being misaligned with each other.
  • the two discs (9a, 9b) of the baffle element (6) thus delimit a chamber (12) which communicates with the lower part of the stopper by the tubes (10) of the disc (9b) and with the upper part of the stopper. by the tubes (10) of the disc (9a).
  • This chamber (12) therefore serves as a relay between the lower part and the upper part of the plug; but thanks to the misalignment of the tubes (10) of one disc relative to those (10) of the other disc, it is impossible to introduce into the stopper any object allowing access to the tamper-evident mechanism contained in the lower part (1) of the plug.
  • the upper disc (9a) of the baffle element (6) has a central tube (13) directed upwards and possibly abutting against the central part of the grid (5).
