Definitions
- the invention relates to the field of neck containers and their caps, provided with a tamper-evident closure element.
- the inviolability of plastic bottles or containers can be achieved by a tearable stopper surmounting the neck.
- the upper part of the container neck is connected by a thin flange to the skirt of the protective cap, and this flange is sectioned by rotation or depression of this protective cap, a distributor cap can then be screwed in and sealing.
- opening is not very easy and the existence of a separate dispenser cap is a complication.
- the threaded neck of the flexible tube is extended by a blind tube also threaded connected to the end of the neck by a weakened area of reduced diameter, and during screwing of the capsule which has complementary threads of the threads of the neck and of the blind tube which extends it, the capsule first abuts on the end of the thread of the blind tube and it suffices to force the screwing to break the weakened zone.
- the first object of the invention is a container with a neck provided with a cap, the closure device of which is characterized in that it comprises, overcoming the neck of the container, a tamper-evident seal, the base of which is tearable and the head has reliefs, and in that the cap has a key whose cooperation with said reliefs allows the rupture of the cover by the rotation of the cap.
- the depressed cap thus generally hides the tamper-evident seal.
- the cap may have a smooth outer surface and an outer diameter close to the diameter of the body of the container or slightly smaller than this diameter, so that it cannot go lower than the shoulder of the container.
- the cooperation of the reliefs of the head of the cover and of the key of the cap is obtained in a different and simpler way than in the device described by document EP-A-0 001 959: the reliefs of the head of the cover fit into the key with internal reliefs of the cap, thus causing the centering of the cap and preventing it from rotating relative to the cover and to the container.
- the reliefs of the head of the cover, head which then constitutes "the key to the tube", and the reliefs of the key of the cap must thus be complementary, that is to say nestable, but as they are preferably obtained by molding, they can have very varied shapes.
- the reliefs of the key of the tube are streaks and the key of the cap is constituted by a crown comprising internal ribs fitting into said streaks, either smoothly - the ruptured cap detaching from the cap-, or by force - the cover then remaining integral with the cap or more precisely trapped in the key of the cap -.
- the crown of the key of the cap is extended by a skirt of internal diameter close to the external diameter of the neck of the container, so that this skirt can be engaged on the neck when the cap is put in place for the storage and presentation of the container, so also that it can be engaged more fully on the neck once the lid broken and detached.
- the skirt of the cap is then a means of centering the cap on the neck of the container, completing the centering of this cap by fitting the key of the tube into the key of the cap, and coming to relay it from the tamper-evident seal. broken.
- the invention secondly relates to the previously defined sealed closure device, in which the base of the tamper-evident seal comprises means for sealing the container after rupture of said seal.
- these sealing means comprise a collar and a skirt, the lower lips of which are slightly conical so as to engage in the orifice of the neck when the container is closed.
- the tamper-evident seal then becomes, after rupture, a sealing seal.
- the reliefs of the head of the cover and the reliefs of the key of the cap are preferably adjusted so that the head of the 'operculum is forced into the key of the cap and thus the lid remains secured to the cap after it breaks.
- the cap wears alor the sealing means and, after the first opening, the sealed closure of the container is greatly facilitated.
- a third object of the invention is a device for closing a spout container provided with a cap already defined, the spout being surmounted by a tamper-evident seal whose base is tearable and whose head comprises reliefs and the cap comprising ureclef, the fitting of which on said reliefs allows the rupture of the cover by the rotation of the cap, the base of the tamper-evident seal also optionally comprising means for sealing the container after rupture said cap, characterized in that the neck of the container and the cap comprise complementary screwing means allowing the screwing of the cap for closing the container after rupture of the tamper-evident cap.
- the neck of the container then carries an external thread and the cap screwing means consists in particular of a complementary thread carried by an intermediate ring between the outer skirt and the key of the cap.
- screwing means allow for example the tightening of the sealing means possibly present at the base of the tamper-evident seal preferably remained secured to the cap after it has broken.
- a fourth subject of the invention is a device for closing a neck container provided with a cap defined above, in the case where the neck carries an external thread, characterized in that the skirt of the tamper-evident seal is screwed and permanently fixed to the outside thread of the neck.
- the necked container may for example be made of plastic or of a metalloplastic complex, of painted metal, of bare or coated glass, of porcelain or ceramic, and the fixing of the lid with an internally threaded skirt at its base can be made typically. by welding, gluing, by clip, by snap-fastening or by local deformation.
- the skirt of the cover has a tear-off zone directly above the edge of the orifice.
- the ruptured lid may comprise at its base means for sealing the container, constituted as above by a collar and by the ruptured skirt.
- the exterior of the part of the skirt screwed and permanently fixed to the neck may itself include an external thread complementary to a means for screwing the cap.
- the subject of the invention is fifthly a device for closing a necked container provided with a cap comprising a tamper-evident seal surmounting the neck of the container, a seal whose head has reliefs on its periphery, and whose cap comprises a key, the fitting of which on said reliefs allows the rupture of the cover by the rotation of the cap, this device being characterized in that the base of the cover consists of a flared skirt, the end of which is connected by oblique injection at the edge of the neck opening.
- the oblique arrangement of the circumference of the flared skirt of the base of the cover has the effect that, after rupture along the zone of weakness formed by the connection of the skirt with the edge of the orifice and possibly with some points from the inside surface of the neck, the base of the seal can be pushed into the orifice when filling with the broken seal.
- the flared skirt of the cover is an interesting sealing solution for storage, especially when the diameter of the orifice is relatively large and between 5 and 15 mm.
- the oblique injection precision of the flared skirt is then less critical than the injection precision of the lower lip of the cover in a direction substantially parallel to the axis of the orifice of the neck.
- the cover can be used for filling, in association or not with the cap, its base can then be pressed into the orifice, even if the outline of the broken end slightly exceeds the contour of the orifice, this thin end, for example 0.2 to 0.4 mm, being flexible like the lip of a seal. This filling thus provides a seal or a good semi-seal for intermediate storage.
- the end of the flared skirt of the cover is likewise connected by injection at an oblique angle to the edge of the cover of the neck.
- This end of the skirt of the cover consists firstly of parts welded to the edge of the raised parts of the contour of the orifice of the neck, at the meeting of the injection cone and the edge of the orifice , and on the other hand by webs of thermoplastic material which continue the welded parts and penetrate obliquely inside the hollow parts of the outline of the orifice. The veils injected obliquely penetrate the parts in hollow of the orifice.
- the end points of these webs penetrating obliquely into the hollow parts are either very close to the internal wall of the neck, or often discreetly or discontinuously welded to this internal wall.
- the end of the flared skirt injected obliquely provides an improved semi-sealed obturation of the hollow parts of the orifice, this obturation is in fact much more complete than that obtained with a lower lip injected in a direction substantially parallel to the axis of the orifice.
- Such an improvement is usually obtained with injection directions making angles of 30 ° to 80 °, and preferably from 45 ° to 75 °, with the axis of the orifice.
- the end of the flared skirt of the cover constitutes a zone of weakness of discontinuous resistance, its welding at the neck being ensured and having a marked mechanical resistance only on the edge of the raised parts of the contour of the neck opening, and the rupture of the cover is facilitated.
- the end of the flared skirt of the cover can be pushed into the orifice, the outline of the end of the broken cover being substantially complementary to the outline of the orifice and the flexibility of the broken end allowing the seal to be inserted into the orifice, even if the two contours are disoriented relative to each other, the outside of the ruptured portion of the seal then locally protruding from the reliefs of the outline of the orifice.
- the partial bending of the end of the flared skirt during the insertion of the cover into the orifice of the neck contributes to the holding of this semi-sealed filling means which constitutes the broken cover.
- the head of: the cover which has reliefs on its periphery and the crown of the key of the cap which fits this head usually have smaller outside diameters than the outside diameter of the neck.
- An intermediate crown with an internal diameter close to the external diameter of the neck of the container is then preferably present inside the cap, this intermediate crown being able to be engaged on the neck when the cap is put in place for the storage and presentation of the container, and which can then be engaged more fully on the neck once the seal has been broken and either detached, or pressed in for the semi-sealed filling.
- the reliefs of the head of the cover and those of the key of the cap preferably fit together forcefully, so that the cover remains prisoner of the hood key once the end of her flared skirt is broken.
- the alignment of the cover is then fixed relative to the cap, the semi-sealed filling of the container is easily obtained by the establishment and the insertion of the cap on the neck.
- the stopping position of the insertion of the cover in the key of the cap can be conditioned either by the end of the injection core of the cover, which end then abuts in the bottom of the cap, either by the length of the skirt extending the crown of the key of the cap, skirt which then abuts on the flared skirt of the cover.
- the quality of this semi-sealed filling is further improved by a particular structure of the cap, in which the crown of the key of the cap comprises a skirt of outside diameter. less than or approximately equal to the smallest inside diameter of the neck orifice, i.e. the diameter corresponding to the raised parts of the outline of this orifice, so that this skirt of the crown of the key of the cap penetrates in the hole following the end of the seal broken during the filling.
- the stop position of the cap is then adjusted either by the length of the intermediate crown, or by the length of the outer skirt of the cap, or even by the length of the intermediate crown abutting on the shoulder of the container at the base. bottleneck.
- the device of the invention may also comprise, particularly in the case where the orifice of the neck is circular or else has sinuosities of shallow depth and preferably less than 1 mm, means complementary screwing of the neck of the container and the cap, allowing a screwed closure during recapping.
- the screwing means of the cap is then preferably a thread carried by an intermediate crown coming to engage on the neck during the positioning of the cap for the storage and the presentation of the container, and being able to engage more fully and be screwed onto the neck once the seal has been broken, so as to better ensure closure in the semi-sealed filling of the container.
- the neck (1) of the container has a circular orifice (2) on the edge of which is welded or molded the lower end (3) of the skirt of the lid (4), lower end thinned and positioned so as to adjust the breaking strength of the cover by rotation of the cap.
- the head of the cover (4) has reliefs (5) in the form of fins and constitutes the key to the tube (6) whose overall diameter is slightly less than the inside diameter of the crown (7) of the cap ( 8) which carries internal ribs (9) with progressive entry (10) so as to facilitate the introduction and fitting of the key of the tube (6) into the key of the cap (11) constituted by the crown ( 7) and by the ribs (9).
- the crown (7) extends to--: beyond the key (11) and its smooth skirt (12) engages first of all on the key of the tube (6) so that this key (6) and the cap key (11) are automatically aligned.
- the second example differs from the first example only in the presence of a fancy orifice (13) on the neck (1) ( Figure 2).
- This fancy orifice (13) can have a variable shape
- Figure 3 gives an example.
- the crown of the injection points (14) corresponds substantially to the internal vertices (15) of the sinuosities of the contour of the orifice so that the connection of the lower end (3) of the skirt of the the cover (4) has better resistance and tightness at the location of the tops (15) than between these tops where the web of thermoplastic material may be less solid and not completely waterproof.
- Figure 2 shows the cover down.
- the skirt (12) of the crown (7) of the cap (8) has an inside diameter close to the outside diameter of the neck (1) of the container so that the neck (1) fits into this skirt (12) when putting in place of the cap (8) for storage and presentation of the container.
- This centering of the cap (8) by the fitting of the neck (1) in the skirt (12) completes its centering by the initial fitting of the key of the tube (6) in the key of the cap (11).
- the key of the cap (11) is thus held more firmly on the head of the cover constituting the key of the tube (6) ; which facilitates the opening of the container by rotation of the cap (8).
- This opening is obtained by rotating the cap in one direction or the other, for example for an angle of rotation of between 30 ° and 60 °.
- Figure 4 we can see the orifice (13) of the neck (1) released from the cover (4) which surmounted it and produced the inviolability as well as the tightness or semi-tightness.
- the cover (4) carrying the key of the tube (6) has been broken by shearing of the lower end (3) of its skirt, and this cover falls, so that subsequently the cap (8) can be pushed in.
- the third example relates to an improved closing device comprising, in addition to the means described above, screwing means and sealed closing means.
- a container whose neck (1) has at its base an external thread (16) and at its upper part a preferably circular orifice (2) surmounted by a tamper-evident seal (4) whose lower skirt (3) is surmounted by a cup (17) and whose head constituting the key of the tube (6) has reliefs (5) in the form of fins or streaks.
- the cup (17) has a diameter close to the outside diameter of the neck (1) and the key of the tube (6) has a smaller diameter.
- the cap (8) comprises a key (11) constituted by a crown (7) and by ribs (9), a key in which the key of the tube (6) fits, the descent of the cap then being guided by the cup (17) (figure '.7).
- the cap (8) also includes an intermediate crown (18) bearing in end with an internal thread (19). When the cap (8) is pushed in, the end of this intermediate ring (18) sinks onto the outside of the neck, the thread (19) being hollow and the end (20) of the ring (18) being thinned.
- This intermediate ring (18) is thus at this stage a means of centering the cap (8), which by holding the cap more firmly on the key of the tube (6) facilitates the opening of the container by rotation of the cap (8).
- the sealing means (3) and (17) thus play the role of lip seal and they are used in the closure device of the invention, whether or not there are screwing means, that closing the container after rupture of the tamper-evident seal is made by simple pressing or with screwing.
- the fourth example relates to a closure device different from the device of the third example in that the skirt of the tamper-evident seal is threaded at its lower part and permanently screwed onto the external thread of the neck of a container, for example d 'a commercial glass container.
- the tamper-evident seal (4) comprises below the cup (17) a skirt (3) the lower part of which can be broken and which is extended by a lower skirt (22 ) internally and externally threaded.
- the lid was screwed thanks to the internal thread of the skirt (22) on the thread (16) of the neck (1) of the container and it is permanently fixed there. In the position shown in FIG.
- the fifth example relates to a device in which the base of the cover is constituted by a flared skirt.
- the closure device of FIG. 12 comprises, like the devices of the preceding examples, a tamper-evident seal (4) surmounting the neck (1) of the container, seal (4) whose head constituting the key of the tube (6) comprises on its circumference reliefs (5), and a key (11) inside the cap constituted by a crown (7) and internal ribs (9), the introduction and fitting of the key of the tube (6) in the key of the cap (11) being possibly facilitated by a progressive entry (10) of the internal ribs (9) and / or by an extension of the crown (7) by a smooth skirt which engages in the first place on the key of the tube (6) by aligning the axes of the key of the tube (6) and the key of the cap (11).
- the base of the cover (4) of the closure device of FIG. 12 is constituted by a flared skirt (42), the end (23) of which is connected to the edge of the orifice (24) of the neck (1) .
- the crown (7) of the key of the cap (11), which fits the head of the cover constituting the key of the tube (6), has an outside diameter smaller than the outside diameter of the neck (1), and a crown smooth intermediate (25) fitting this neck (1) facilitates the fitting of the cap (8) during storage and during recapping.
- FIG. 13 represents the same device, the cap being pressed on the neck (1) and on its cover (4).
- the intermediate crown (25) fits the neck (1) and the key of the cap (11) fits the key of the tube (6), the stop position of the insertion of the cap is here adjusted by the bottom stop of the skirt of the crown (7) on the flared skirt (22) of the base of the cover (4).
- FIG. 14 shows the outline of a fancy orifice which may correspond in particular to the orifices of FIGS. 12, 13, 15 and 16 and which differs from the outline given by way of example in FIG. 3 in that the recesses (26) are relatively wide, allowing the sails to thermoplastic material (27) identified in Figures 13, 14, 16, to have a good depth extension, coming very close to the inner wall of the neck (28) or even coming in places to touch or weld to this wall (28 ).
- the section of the injection cone by the plane of the outline of the orifice is the injection circle or crown of the injection points (29), the plastic material is welded on the raised parts in the areas such as (30 ) and is projected obliquely into the hollow parts (26) by forming a veil (27), very close to the wall (28) or up to this wall as just described.
- FIG. 15 represents the container and its cap (8) after rupture of the cover (4) by rotation of the cap (8) from the position "cap pushed in” in FIG. 13.
- the end of the flared skirt ( 42) broken leaves possibly small fragments of plastic material (31) on the raised parts (30).
- the cover (4) has a force fit into the key of the cap (11), so that it remains integral with the cap (8) after it has broken.
- FIG. 16 represents the same container at the start of filling.
- the end (32) of the flared skirt (42) comes in place to rest on the edge of the orifice and it begins to curl upwards.
- the webs (27) partially penetrate at least into the recesses (26).
- FIG. 17 shows the same capped container.
- the skirt of the crown (7) of the key to the cap has an outside diameter approximately equal to or slightly less than the smallest inside diameter of the orifice (24) of the neck (1), and it has penetrated into the orifice (24 ) during filling, which makes it possible to restrict the volume of residual air in the container and possibly to make the filling more resistant.
- the stop position of the cap (8) is here adjusted by the length of its outer skirt (33) which abuts on the shoulder (34) of the container.
- FIG. 18 represents a sixth example of a closure device according to the present invention, in which, as in the fifth example, there is a cover with a flared skirt (42) as well as a crown (7) of the key of the cap capable of s '' fit into the orifice (24) of the neck (1), but in which the intermediate ring (18) carries at its end an internal thread (19) cooperating with an external thread (16) carried through the base of the neck (1).
- These screwing means do not intervene until the cover is broken, they only cooperate when the cover is broken and the cap is pushed in during the filling.
- the ruptured end of the flared skirt (32), and in particular the sails which corresponded to the hollow parts rubs lightly against the raised parts by bending upwards. A shortening of the raised parts can allow an end of the free screwing.
- the ease of rupture of the tamper-evident seal by rotation of the cap essentially depends on the perimeter of the lip. (3), the thickness of the material in the rupture zone, the resistance to rupture of the material, the outside diameter of the skirt of the container which is held with one hand during opening and the outer diameter of the cap that is rotated with the other hand.
- the outside diameter laughing cap and the outside diameter of the skirt of the cap can be of the same order of magnitude and between about 25 and 40 mm to facilitate gripping
- the material of the ruptured area is a thermoplastic polymer and its thickness in the ruptured area is 0.1 to 0.3 mm
- the diameter of the lip (3), close to the diameter of the orifice (2) or the diameter of the crown of the injection points (14) of the orifice fantasy (13) varies from 2.5 to 10 mm.
- the opening torque is then typically between 10 Nm and 90 Nm
- the opening torque depends in particular on the number of raised portions of the outline of the neck orifice and of the width of the parts of thermoplastic material welded to these raised parts, this width being itself influenced by the opening of the injection cone or by the angle of the injection direction.
- the fancy orifice having an injection circle of diameter between 5 and 15mm, the number of raised parts of the outline of the orifice being between 5 and 20, the width of the welded parts varying between 0.5 and 2 , 5 mm and their thickness varying between ⁇ , 2 and 0.4 mm, the opening torque corresponding to a cap with an outside diameter between 25 and 40 mm is then typically between 10 and 30 Nm
- the container of the invention is typically made from a portion of tube made of polyfine or another thermoplastic material or a metalloplastic complex, on which is welded or overmolded the neck surmounted by the tamper-evident seal.
- the injection molding process is known to those skilled in the art, in particular by patent FR 1 047 737. Overmolding can also be carried out in two stages, overmolding the neck on the end of the tube portion first and then overmolding of the tamper-evident seal.
- the container can also be made of internally painted metal, glass or porcelain.
- the cap is produced for example by molding from thermoplastic or thermosetting polymers.
- the closure device of the invention applies to any type of re containers with a neck, regardless of their manufacturing process, the neck being made in advance or at the same time as the lid.
- the device applies to packaging produced by extrusion blow molding, by injection or by injection blow molding.
- the device of the invention is used essentially in the field of food products for liquids, syrups, creams, products in a pasty state or in the form of gums, and for products in a divided state; in the field of pharmaceutical, hygienic or cosmetic products; in all previous presentations or consistencies, and in the area of chemicals and maintenance.
- the various embodiments of the device of the invention allow a plurality of solutions to the practical problems posed by the storage, the ease of opening and the use of these various products.
- the outer surfaces of the neck container and the cap can be decorated.
