Description

La présente invention concerne un bouchon pour sceller de façon étanche un flacon ou un récipient analogue sur le rebord duquel un opercule d'étanchéité, présentant une couche scellable destinée à venir en contact avec ledit rebord, coopère avec le bouchon pour réaliser le scellage étanche précité.The present invention relates to a stopper for sealing in a sealed manner a bottle or a similar container on the rim of which a sealing cap, having a sealable layer intended to come into contact with said rim, cooperates with the stopper to achieve the abovementioned leaktight seal. .

De nombreux flacons ou récipients analogues contiennent soit des substances liquides ou semi-liquides, soit des constituants partiellement volatils dont il importe d'empêcher la migration de l'intérieur du flacon ou récipient vers l'extérieur.Many vials or similar containers contain either liquid or semi-liquid substances or partially volatile constituents, the migration of which must be prevented from inside the bottle or container to the outside.

De plus, certaines substances contenues dans le verre, par exemple la soude, ont tendance à émigrer vers l'extérieur du verre, surtout en présence de certains constituants notamment acides, par exemple le vinaigre. Il est connu d'atténuer l'effet de ces inconvénients par différents procédés de post-traitement du verre, cependant la tenue de l'opercule et par conséquent son étanchéité restent limitées dans le temps.In addition, certain substances contained in the glass, for example soda, tend to migrate towards the outside of the glass, especially in the presence of certain constituents in particular acid, for example vinegar. It is known to mitigate the effect of these drawbacks by various methods of post-processing the glass, however the strength of the cover and consequently its sealing remain limited in time.

Il est déjà fréquemment fait usage d'opercules qui sont placés sur le sommet du flacon ou récipient qui, par serrage du bouchon, se trouvent appliqués en contact aussi étroit que possible avec le flacon ou le récipient analogue. Le bouchon destiné à être vissé sur le flacon présente généralement à cet effet un filet qui assure le serrage nécessaire.Lids are already frequently used which are placed on the top of the bottle or container which, by tightening the stopper, are applied in as close contact as possible with the bottle or similar container. The cap intended to be screwed onto the bottle generally has a thread for this purpose which ensures the necessary tightening.

Il est cependant apparu qu'en pratique, ce serrage n'empêche pas toute migration vers l'extérieur de certains constituants liquides, semi-liquides ou volatils. Un serrage insuffisant du bouchon ou un dévissage intempestif au cours de la période de mise en vente, peut provoquer des altérations inadmissibles du produit.However, it appeared that in practice, this tightening does not prevent any migration towards the outside of certain liquid, semi-liquid or volatile constituents. Insufficient tightening of the cap or untimely unscrewing during the period of sale may cause unacceptable damage to the product.

L'invention a pour but de remédier à ces inconvénients et de prescrire un bouchon de conception nouvelle et originale ainsi que son procédé d'application qui résout les problèmes auxquels il vient d'être allusion et qui garantit un scellage absolument irréprochable.The object of the invention is to remedy these drawbacks and to prescribe a stopper of new and original design as well as its method of application which solves the problems to which it has just been alluded and which guarantees absolutely impeccable sealing.

A cet effet, le bouchon selon l'invention comporte sur sa face interne au moins un épaulement circulaire qui, en position de fermeture du flacon ou récipient analogue, maintient l'opercule d'étanchéité sur la zone périphérique externe faisant suite au rebord précité pour provoquer, par un traitement par induction, p.ex., le scellage dudit opercule d'étanchéité sur la zone périphérique précitée.To this end, the stopper according to the invention comprises on its internal face at least one circular shoulder which, in the closed position of the bottle or similar container, maintains the sealing cap on the external peripheral zone following the abovementioned rim for cause, by an induction treatment, eg, the sealing of said sealing cap on the aforementioned peripheral zone.

Toujours selon l'invention, la face interne du bouchon présente encore une couronne interne concentrique à l'épaulement circulaire précité, destinée à appliquer l'opercule précité sur le rebord supérieur du flacon ou récipient analogue.Still according to the invention, the internal face of the stopper also has an internal crown concentric with the aforementioned circular shoulder, intended to apply the aforementioned seal on the upper rim of the bottle or similar container.

L'invention concerne également le procédé d'application du bouchon selon l'invention.The invention also relates to the method of applying the plug according to the invention.

D'autres détails et avantages de l'invention ressortiront de la description qui sera donnée ci-après d'un bouchon pour sceller de façon particulièrement étanche un flacon ou un récipient analogue ainsi que son procédé d'application, selon l'invention. Cette description n'est donnée qu'à titre d'exemple et ne limite pas l'invention. Les notations -de référence se rapportent aux figures ci-jointes.Other details and advantages of the invention will emerge from the description which will be given below of a stopper for sealing in a particularly leaktight manner a bottle or similar container as well as its method of application, according to the invention. This description is given by way of example only and does not limit the invention. The notations -of reference refer to the attached figures.

La figure 1 montre en coupe un bouchon selon l'invention avant son serrage sur un flacon sur le rebord supérieur duquel est disposé un opercule scellable.Figure 1 shows in section a cap according to the invention before tightening it on a bottle on the upper rim of which is disposed a sealable seal.

La figure 2 montre en coupe le même bouchon vissé sur un flacon.Figure 2 shows in section the same cap screwed onto a bottle.

Le bouchon 1 selon ces figures est muni d'un pas de vis interne 2 pour s'adapter sur le pas de vis externe 3 ménagé à la partie supérieure d'un flacon 4.The stopper 1 according to these figures is provided with an internal screw thread 2 to adapt to the external screw thread 3 formed at the upper part of a bottle 4.

Entre le bouchon 1 et le flacon 4 est interposé un opercule scellable 5 qui repose sur le rebord supérieur 6 du flacon 4 dans l'état représenté à la figure 1. Selon cette figure, l'opercule scellable 5 est introduit à l'état plat, mais il est entendu qu'on pourrait prévoir une première amorce du rabattement de la périphérie de l'opercule 5.Between the stopper 1 and the bottle 4 is inter placed a sealable seal 5 which rests on the upper rim 6 of the bottle 4 in the state shown in FIG. 1. According to this figure, the sealable seal 5 is introduced in the flat state, but it is understood that one could provide a first start of the folding of the periphery of the cover 5.

L'opercule 5 présente sur sa face qui vient en contact avec le flacon 4 une couche 5' de matière scellable telle que par exemple un polymère ou une colle.The cover 5 has on its face which comes into contact with the bottle 4 a layer 5 'of sealable material such as for example a polymer or an adhesive.

Dans une forme d'exécution particulièrement efficace, la face intérieure 6 du bouchon 1 présente un épaulement circulaire 7. L'épaulement circulaire 7 vient, lorsqu'on visse le bouchon 1 sur le pas de vis 3 du flacon 4, rabattre la périphérie de l'opercule scellable 5 dans la position qui est représentée à la figure 2. Comme le bouchon selon l'invention peut également présenter la caractéristique d'être pourvu intérieurement d'une couronne interne 8, on observera que lorsque le bouchon 1 est vissé à fond sur le flacon 4, la couronne interne 8 vient prendre appui sur l'opercule scelllable 5 à l'endroit où celui-ci recouvre le rebord supérieur 9 du flacon 4 tandis que l'épaulement circulaire 7 a rabattu en même temps le bord de l'opercule 5 sur ce qui peut être considéré comme la zone périphérique 10 faisant immédiatement suite au rebord supérieur 9.In a particularly effective embodiment, the inner face 6 of the stopper 1 has a circular shoulder 7. The circular shoulder 7 comes, when the stopper 1 is screwed on the thread 3 of the bottle 4, fold the periphery of the sealable cover 5 in the position which is shown in FIG. 2. As the stopper according to the invention can also have the characteristic of being provided internally with an internal crown 8, it will be observed that when the stopper 1 is screwed to bottom on the bottle 4, the internal crown 8 comes to bear on the sealable seal 5 at the place where it covers the upper rim 9 of the bottle 4 while the circular shoulder 7 has folded at the same time the edge of the cover 5 on what can be considered as the peripheral zone 10 immediately following the upper edge 9.

Le rabattement par l'épaulement 7 du rebord circulaire de l'opercule 5 sur la zone périphérique 10 permet de passer à l'étape suivante du procédé de scellage, étape qui est particulièrement essentielle.The folding by the shoulder 7 of the circular rim of the cover 5 on the peripheral zone 10 makes it possible to proceed to the next step of the sealing process, a step which is particularly essential.

En effet, l'opercule étant maintenu par l'épaulement circulaire 7 sur la zone périphérique 10, comme l'indique la figure 2, on peut soumettre cette partie de l'opercule à un traitement par induction, par exemple, pour provoquer la fusion de la couche extérieure 5' et réaliser ainsi un scellage intégral de l'opercule 5 sur le flacon 4 tout en permettant éventuellement à la couronne interne 8 d'agir sur le même opercule à l'endroit du rebord supérieur 9 du flacon.Indeed, the cover being held by the circular shoulder 7 on the peripheral zone 10, as shown in Figure 2, we can subject this part of the cover to an induction treatment, for example, to cause fusion of the outer layer 5 'and thus achieve an integral sealing of the cover 5 on the bottle 4 while optionally allowing the internal crown 8 to act on the same cover at the location of the upper rim 9 of the bottle.

Un scellage de l'espèce est intégral et s'oppose de la manière la plus totale à toute forme de migration du contenu ou d'un composant du flacon 4 vers l'extérieur de ce récipient, p.ex. du verre. Aucun dévissage accidentel ou intempestif du bouchon 1 ne peut donc avoir d'influence quelconque sur le conditionnement des produits contenus dans le flacon ou le récipient analogue.A seal of the species is integral and most completely opposes any form of migration of the contents or of a component of the bottle 4 towards the outside of this container, eg glass. No accidental or untimely unscrewing of the plug 1 can therefore have any influence on the packaging of the products contained in the bottle or similar container.

La forme d'exécution se rapporte logiquement à toute fermeture susceptible d'être scellée par induction. En principe l'invention s'applique également à des récipients de forme différente dont la fermeture est réalisée par exemple par encliquetage ou "twist-off" permettant le rabattement du bord d'une feuille quelconque assimilée à l'opercule 5 sur le rebord supérieur du récipient de forme circulaire ou non, ou par exemple, par filet interrompu selon ce procédé dit "twist-off".The embodiment logically relates to any closure capable of being sealed by induction. In principle, the invention also applies to containers of different shape, the closure of which is effected, for example, by snap-fastening or "twist-off" allowing the edge of any sheet assimilated to the cover 5 to be folded down on the upper rim. of the container of circular shape or not, or for example, by thread interrupted according to this process called "twist-off".

Il est bien entendu que l'invention n'est pas limitée à la forme d'exécution qui vient d'en être décrite et que bien des modifications pourraient y être apportées sans sortir du cadre de la présente demande de brevet.It is understood that the invention is not limited to the embodiment which has just been described and that many modifications could be made without departing from the scope of this patent application.
