Abstract
Description
La présente invention a pour objet un bouchon en matière synthétique équipé d'une bague d'inviolabilité.The present invention relates to a plastic cap fitted with a tamper-evident ring.
Pour de nombreux produits conditionnés dans des bidons, bouteilles ou flacons, il est nécessaire de réaliser un bouchage présentant un caractère inviolable avant la première ouverture, afin de garantir à l'acheteur la quantité et la qualité du contenu du récipient.For many products packaged in cans, bottles or flasks, it is necessary to make a stopper having an inviolable character before the first opening, in order to guarantee the buyer the quantity and the quality of the contents of the container.
Il est connu, pour remplir cette condition, d'associer à laabase de la jupe du bouchon, une bague reliée à celle-ci par quelques pattes de faible résistance, destinées à venir prendre appui sous une collerette que présente le col du récipient, lorsque le bouchon est en position de fermeture du récipient.It is known, in order to fulfill this condition, to associate with the base of the skirt of the stopper, a ring connected to the latter by a few legs of low resistance, intended to come to bear under a flange presented by the neck of the container, when the cap is in the closed position of the container.
Lors de la première ouverture du récipient, correspondant à un déplacement axial du bouchon, la bague est retenue par la collerette, et les pattes de liaison entre la bague et le bouchon se déchirent, permettant le retrait de ce dernier. La première ouverture du récipient peut donc être visualisée immédiatement du fait de la désolidarisa- tion entre la bague d'inviolabilité et le bouchon.When the container is opened for the first time, corresponding to an axial displacement of the stopper, the ring is retained by the flange, and the connecting tabs between the ring and the stopper tear, allowing the latter to be withdrawn. The first opening of the container can therefore be viewed immediately due to the separation between the tamper-evident ring and the stopper.
Dans la mesure où le bouchon est réalisé en matière synthétique, il n'est pas possible de l'obtenir en une seule pièce, notamment lorsque l'on désire que le bouchon présente une partie en forme de capsule épousant le bord du col du récipient et pénétrant dans celui-ci pour assurer une bonne étanchéité, indispensable dans le cas du conditionnement de produits pharmaceutiques, par exemple.Insofar as the stopper is made of synthetic material, it is not possible to obtain it in one piece, in particular when it is desired that the stopper has a capsule-shaped part conforming to the edge of the neck of the container. and penetrating therein to ensure a good seal, essential in the case of packaging of pharmaceutical products, for example.
Les bouchons utilisés dans de telles applications sont souvent réalisés en trois pièces, à savoir : le bouchon proprement dit équipé de moyens d'accrochage sur le col du récipient, une capsule montée dans le fond du bouchon, et une pièce portant la bague d'inviolabilité, associée à l'extrémité ouverte de la jupe du bouchon.The caps used in such applications are often produced in three parts, namely: the cap itself equipped with attachment means on the neck of the container, a capsule mounted in the bottom of the cap, and a part carrying the ring. inviolability, associated with the open end of the cap skirt.
La présente invention vise à remédier à ces inconvénients en fournissant un bouchon inviolable en matière synthétique,de structure simple.The present invention aims to remedy these drawbacks by providing a tamper-evident cap synthetic, simple structure.
A cet effet, le bouchon qu'elle concerne, du type comprenant une partie cylindrique en forme de jupe couvrant le col du récipient, et équipera son extrémité inférieure, d'une bague d'inviolabilité, à laquelle elle est reliée par des pattes déchirables, est constitué par une capsule présentant un fond destiné à obturer l'ouverture du col du récipient, prolongé par une partie cylindrique dont la face interne est munie de moyens d'accrochage sur la paroi périphérique du col du récipient, et dont la face externe présente des nervures longitudinales, et par une jupe cylindrique dont le diamètre intérieur correspond au diamètre extérieur de la capsule, équipée à son eitréaité in- fórioure de la bague d'inviolabilité, et présentant sur sa face interne et sur une partie de sa longueur, des rainures longitudinales de longueur correspondant sensiblement à celle des nervures de la capsule, et ménagées dans une zone limitée par deux épaulements en saillie vers l'intérieur.To this end, the stopper which it concerns, of the type comprising a cylindrical part in the form of a skirt covering the neck of the container, and will equip its lower end, with a tamper-evident ring, to which it is connected by tearable tabs. , is constituted by a capsule having a bottom intended to close the opening of the container neck, extended by a cylindrical part whose internal face is provided with hooking means on the peripheral wall of the container neck, and whose external face has longitudinal ribs, and by a cylindrical skirt whose internal diameter corresponds to the external diameter of the capsule, equipped at its infiouroure eitréaité of the tamper-evident ring, and having on its internal face and on part of its length, longitudinal grooves of length corresponding substantially to that of the ribs of the capsule, and formed in an area limited by two shoulders projecting inward.
Le montage du bouchon est réalisé par engagement de la capsule dans la jupe, par l'extrémité de celle-ci opposée à celle équipée de la bague d'inviolabilité.The mounting of the cap is carried out by engagement of the capsule in the skirt, by the end of the latter opposite to that equipped with the tamper-evident ring.
Un blocage axial de la capsule dans la jupe est obtenu par appui des extrémités des nervures de la capsule contre les épaulements de la jupe, et un blocage en rotation de la capsule et de la jupe est obtenu par complémentarité des nervures de la capsule et des rainures de la jupe.Axial locking of the capsule in the skirt is obtained by pressing the ends of the ribs of the capsule against the shoulders of the skirt, and rotationally locking of the capsule and the skirt is obtained by complementarity of the ribs of the capsule and the skirt grooves.
Ainsi, lors du premier débouchage, que la fixation du bouchon ait été réalisée par vissage ou encliquetage, la jupe et la capsule demeureront solidaires, et la jupe se détachera de la bague d'inviolabilité.Thus, during the first uncorking, whether the fixing of the stopper has been carried out by screwing or snap-fastening, the skirt and the capsule will remain integral, and the skirt will detach from the tamper-evident ring.
Ce bouchon présente par rapport à ceux existants, l'avantage d'une grande simplicité de réalisation puisque constitué par deux pièces seulement, tout en offrant d'excellentes qualités d'étanchéité et d'inviolabilité avant première ouverture.This stopper has, compared to existing ones, the advantage of great simplicity of construction since it consists of only two parts, while offering excellent sealing and inviolability qualities before first opening.
En outre, ce bouchon est extrêmement facile à manoeuvrer compte-tenu de la surface importante de la jupe qui entoure le col du récipient. Enfin, le fait qu'une jupe entoure la capsule fixée sur le col du récipient empêche la déformation de cette dernière par ovalisation lors de sa manoeuvre.In addition, this cap is extremely easy to maneuver given the large surface area of the skirt which surrounds the neck of the container. Finally, the fact that a skirt surrounds the capsule fixed to the neck of the container prevents the latter from being deformed by ovalization during its operation.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, la jupe cylindrique présente, à son extrémité opposée à celle équipée de la bague d'inviolabilité, un bord intérieur chanfreiné.According to another characteristic of the invention, the cylindrical skirt has, at its end opposite to that equipped with the tamper-evident ring, a chamfered inner edge.
Cet agencement facilite l'introduction de la capsule dans la jupe, lors du montage du bouchon.This arrangement facilitates the introduction of the capsule into the skirt, during mounting of the cap.
De toute façon, l'invention sera bien comprise à l'aide de la description qui suit en référence au dessin schématique annexé représentant, à titre d'exemple non limitatif, une forme d'exécution de ce bouchon :
- Figure 1 en est une vue en perspective éclatée ;
- Figure 2 correspond à deux demi-coupes longitudinales et à échelle agrandie de ce bouchon, respectivement, en position de fermeture, et en cours d'ouverture d'un récipient.
- Figure 1 is an exploded perspective view;
- Figure 2 corresponds to two longitudinal half-sections and on an enlarged scale of this plug, respectively, in the closed position, and during the opening of a container.
Le bouchon représenté au dessin est constitué par deux éléments obtenus indépendamment l'un de l'autre, à savoir une capsule (2) et une jupe-(3) cylindrique engagée sur la capsule (2). La capsule (2) présente un fond (4), qui, destiné à venir obturer l'ouverture du col (5) du récipient à fermer, présente une double lèvre (6) autojointante, afin de rattraper les écarts de tolérance au niveau du col du récipient, et d'assurer un excellent contact avec celui-ci. Du fond (4) de la capsule (2) fait saillie une partie cylindrique (7) présentant, sur sa face intérieure, un taraudage (8) destiné à coopérer avec un filetage (9) que présente le col (5) du récipient, pour réaliser la fixation sur ce dernier.The cap shown in the drawing consists of two elements obtained independently of each other, namely a capsule (2) and a cylindrical skirt (3) engaged on the capsule (2). The capsule (2) has a bottom (4), which, intended to seal the opening of the neck (5) of the container to be closed, has a double lip (6) self-sealing, in order to make up for the tolerance differences at the level of the neck of the container, and ensuring excellent contact therewith. From the bottom (4) of the capsule (2) projects a cylindrical part (7) having, on its inner face, a thread (8) intended to cooperate with a thread (9) that has the neck (5) of the container, to secure it.
La partie cylindrique (7) présente, sur sa face externe, un certain nombre de nervures longitudinales (10).The cylindrical part (7) has, on its external face, a certain number of longitudinal ribs (10).
La jupe (3) cylindrique est équipée, de façon connue à son extrémité inférieure, d'une bague d'inviolabilité (12) destinée à venir prendre appui, en position de fermeture du récipient,sur la face inférieure d'une collerette (13), que présente le col (5) du récipient à fermer. La bague d'inviolabilité (12) est reliée au corps de la jupe (3) par des languettes (14) de faible résistance, pouvant être déchirées facilement.The cylindrical skirt (3) is equipped, in a known manner at its lower end, with a tamper-evident ring (12) intended to come to bear, in the closed position of the container, on the lower face of a flange (13 ), which has the neck (5) of the container to be closed. The tamper-evident ring (12) is connected to the body of the skirt (3) by tabs (14) of low resistance, which can be torn easily.
La jupe (3) est de longueur supérieure à celle de la capsule (2), et de diamètre intérieur sensiblement égal au diamètre extérieur de la capsule (2). La jupe (3) présente, à partir de son extrémité opposée à celle équipée de la bague d'inviolabilité (12), un certain nombre de rainures longitudinales (15), de longueur correspondant sensiblement à la longueur des nervures (10) que présente la capsule (2), la zone de la jupe (3) présentant les rainures étant limitées par deux épaulements, respectivement (16) et (17) faisant saillie vers l'intérieur de la jupe. En outre, l'extrémité de la jupe opposée à celle équipée de la bague d'inviolabilité (12) présente un bord intérieur (18) chanfreiné.The skirt (3) has a length greater than that of the capsule (2), and an internal diameter substantially equal to the external diameter of the capsule (2). The skirt (3) has, from its end opposite to that equipped with the tamper-evident ring (12), a certain number of longitudinal grooves (15), of length corresponding substantially to the length of the ribs (10) that presents the capsule (2), the area of the skirt (3) having the grooves being limited by two shoulders, respectively (16) and (17) projecting towards the inside of the skirt. In addition, the end of the skirt opposite to that fitted with the tamper-evident ring (12) has a chamfered inner edge (18).
La jupe (3) présente enfin, sur sa face externe, un certain nombre de nervures longitudinales (19) facilitant sa manipulation, notamment lors du vissage et du dévissage du bouchon sur le col (5) du récipient.The skirt (3) finally has, on its external face, a certain number of longitudinal ribs (19) facilitating its handling, in particular during the screwing and unscrewing of the cap on the neck (5) of the container.
D'un point de vue pratique, les deux pièces (2) et (3) étant obtenues indépendamment l'une de l'autre, il est procédé à leur montage par engagement de la capsule (2) dans la jupe (3) à partir de son extrémité opposée à celle équipée de la bague d'inviolabilité (12). Au cours de ce mouvement, les nervures (10) de la capsule (2) pénètrent dans les rainures (15) de la jupe (3). La complémentarité entre les nervures (10) et les rainures (15) assure le blocage en rotation de la jupe relativement à la capsule. En outre, les nervures (10) de la capsule (2) prennent appui sur les épauloments respectivement (16) et (17) de la jupe (3), évitant tout mouvement de translation de la capsule (2) relativement à la jupe (3).From a practical point of view, the two parts (2) and (3) being obtained independently of one another, it is proceeded to their assembly by engagement of the capsule (2) in the skirt (3) to from its end opposite to that fitted with the tamper-evident ring (12). During this movement, the ribs (10) of the capsule (2) penetrate into the grooves (15) of the skirt (3). The complementarity between the ribs (10) and the grooves (15) ensures the rotation blocking of the skirt relative to the capsule. In addition, the ribs (10) of the capsule (2) bear on the shoulders respectively (16) and (17) of the skirt (3), avoiding any translational movement of the capsule (2) relative to the skirt (3).
Après assemblage de la capsule (2) et de la jupe (3), le bouchon est mis en place sur un récipient et occupe, avant la première ouverture, la position représentée à la partie gauche de la figure 2.After assembly of the capsule (2) and the skirt (3), the stopper is placed on a container and occupies, before the first opening, the position shown on the left-hand side of FIG. 2.
Pour réaliser l'ouverture du récipient, il suffit d'exercer un mouvement de dévissage sur le bouchon, au cours duquel est réalisée la rupture des pattes (14) reliant la bague (12) et la jupe (3). Etant donné la solidarisation en rotation de la capsule (2) et de la jupe (3), le mouvement de rotation exercé sur la jupe (3) provoque le dévissage de la capsule (2), et par suite son dégagement relativement au col du récipient (5), comme montré à la partie droite de la figure 2.To make the opening of the container, it suffices to exert a movement of unscrewing on the stopper, during which the tabs (14) connecting the ring (12) and the skirt (3) are broken. Given the integral rotation of the capsule (2) and the skirt (3), the rotational movement exerted on the skirt (3) causes the unscrewing of the capsule (2), and consequently its release relative to the neck of the container (5), as shown on the right side of Figure 2.
Après première ouverture, il sera possible de réaliser une nouvelle fermeture étanche du récipient en procédant à la mise en place du bouchon sur le col du récipient par vissage.After first opening, it will be possible to make a new tight closure of the container by proceeding with the fitting of the cap on the neck of the container by screwing.
Comme il ressort de ce qui précède, l'invention apporte une grande amélioration à la technique existante en fournissant un bouchon en matière synthétique de conception simple, réalisé à partir de deux pièces seulement, possédant d'excellentes caractéristiques d'étanchéité et d'inviolabilité avant première ouverture.As is clear from the above, the invention brings a great improvement to the existing technique by providing a plastic plug of simple design, made from only two parts, having excellent sealing and tamper-evident characteristics. before first opening.
Comme il va de soi, l'invention-ne se limite pas à la seule forme d'exécution de ce bouchon, décrite ci-dessus à titre d'exemple ; elle en embrasse, au contraire, toutes les variantes de réalisation. C'est ainsi notamment que ce bouchon pourrait être fixé sur le col du récipient non pas par vissage, mais par encliquetage, ou rentré à force, ou encore que la hauteur de la jupe (3) pourrait être inférieure à celle de la capsule (2), sans que l'on sorte pour autant du cadre de l'invention.It goes without saying that the invention is not limited to the sole embodiment of this plug, described above by way of example; on the contrary, it embraces all of its variant embodiments. Thus, in particular, this plug could be fixed on the neck of the container not by screwing, but by snap-fastening, or retracted by force, or even that the height of the skirt (3) could be less than that of the capsule ( 2), without departing from the scope of the invention.
