Description

Dans FR-A 2 581 036 on a décrit un bouchon permettant la fermeture de récipients tels que tubes et flacons, en particulier pour produits pharmaceutiques, ce bouchon assurant la protection contre le milieu ambiant et l'inviolabilité du récipient.In FR-A 2 581 036 a stopper has been described allowing the closure of containers such as tubes and vials, in particular for pharmaceutical products, this stopper ensuring protection against the ambient environment and the inviolability of the receptacle.

Ce bouchon comprend un élément tubulaire inférieur qui pénètre dans la partie tubulaire de l'emballage, et qui est prolongé, à sa partie supérieure, par une paroi horizontale plane formant opercule, cette paroi horizontale plane présentant sur son bord externe périphérique, un évasement ou un anneau coopérant avec des redents ou des renflements disposés à la partie interne du capuchon ou de la jupe du capuchon extérieur placé sur le récipient et assurant l'inviolabilité.This stopper comprises a lower tubular element which penetrates into the tubular part of the packaging, and which is extended, at its upper part, by a flat horizontal wall forming a cover, this flat horizontal wall having on its peripheral external edge, a flare or a ring cooperating with recesses or bulges arranged in the internal part of the cap or of the skirt of the outer cap placed on the container and ensuring inviolability.

Or, on s'est aperçu que ces bouchons répondaient parfaitement aux normes pour la fermeture des récipients contenant des produits pharmaceutiques, présentés sous forme de petites sphères, tels que les produits pharmaceutiques homéopathiques qui peuvent être pris dans l'emballage sans être touchés pour garder toute leur efficacité.However, we realized that these caps perfectly met the standards for the closure of containers containing pharmaceutical products, presented in the form of small spheres, such as homeopathic pharmaceutical products which can be taken in the packaging without being touched to keep all their effectiveness.

Le patient a toutefois beaucoup de mal à placer, dans l'élément inférieur tubulaire formant bouchon, le nombre exact prescrit de granules, par exemple deux ou trois granules et, de ce fait, il est amené à manipuler plusieurs fois cet élément inférieur tubulaire et risque de perdre une partie des granules qui y sont contenues.However, the patient has great difficulty in placing the exact prescribed number of granules, for example two or three granules, in the tubular lower element forming a stopper, and therefore has to manipulate this tubular lower element several times and risk of losing part of the granules contained therein.

La présente invention remédie à ces inconvénients en créant un élément tubulaire interne du bouchon dont la face supérieure comporte des alvéoles tandis que la face inférieure comporte un autre nombre d'alvéoles permettant ainsi de maintenir temporairement le nombre de granules nécessaires car même si le patient a fait sortir plus que ce nombre, il peut aisément réintroduire le surplus dans le récipient, de manière que les granules nécessaires restent dans le fond de l'élément tubulaire interne du bouchon maintenu par les alvéoles.The present invention overcomes these drawbacks by creating an internal tubular element of the stopper, the upper face of which has alveoli while the lower face has another number of alveoli, thereby temporarily maintaining the number of granules necessary because even if the patient has brings out more than this number, it can easily reintroduce the surplus into the container, so that the necessary granules remain in the bottom of the internal tubular element of the plug held by the cells.

L'invention est definie dans la revendication 1.The invention is defined in claim 1.

Diverses autres caractéristiques de l'invention ressortent de la description détaillée qui suit.Various other characteristics of the invention will emerge from the detailed description which follows.

Des formes de réalisation de l'objet de l'invention sont représentées, à titre d'exemples non limitatifs, aux dessins annexés.

  • La fig.1 est une élévation en coupe diamétrale d'une première forme de réalisation du capuchon extérieur d'un bouchon selon l'invention.
  • La fig.2 est une élévation, partie en coupe, du bouchon utilisée avec le capuchon de la fig.1.
  • La fig.3 est une coupe-élévation diamétrale d'une deuxième forme de réalisation du capuchon extérieur.

  • La fig.5 est une vue de dessus du bouchon.
  • La fig.6 est une vue de dessous du bouchon.
Embodiments of the object of the invention are shown, by way of nonlimiting examples, in the accompanying drawings.
  • Fig.1 is an elevation in diametral section of a first embodiment of the outer cap of a plug according to the invention.
  • Fig.2 is an elevation, partly in section, of the plug used with the cap of Fig.1.
  • Fig.3 is a diametral sectional elevation of a second embodiment of the outer cap.
  • Fig.4 is an elevation, partly in section, of a second form of embodiment of the plug.
  • Fig.5 is a top view of the cap.
  • Fig.6 is a bottom view of the cap.

A la fig.1, on a représenté en coupe diamétrale un capuchon extérieur 1 qui se compose d'un élément tubulaire fermé, à sa partie supérieure, par un dessus 2 présentant dans le cas présent un rebord circulaire 3 extérieur délimitant ainsi, sur le milieu du dessus 2, un espace 4 pouvant, par exemple, recevoir une étiquette circulaire donnant une indication du produit contenu dans le récipient qui peut être un flacon ou un tube.In fig.1, there is shown in diametral section an outer cap 1 which consists of a closed tubular element, at its upper part, by a top 2 having in the present case an outer circular rim 3 thus delimiting, on the middle of the top 2, a space 4 which can, for example, receive a circular label giving an indication of the product contained in the container which may be a bottle or a tube.

Le récipient, après avoir été rempli et parfois soumis à un traitement asséchant l'atmosphère du tube ou flacon, est fermé par un bouchon 5 (fig.2) constitué par une surface plane 6 horizontale prolongée à sa partie inférieure par une jupe 7 légèrement tronconique facilitant son engagement dans l'intérieur du tube ou du col du flacon.The container, after having been filled and sometimes subjected to a treatment drying the atmosphere of the tube or bottle, is closed by a stopper 5 (fig. 2) constituted by a flat horizontal surface 6 extended at its lower part by a skirt 7 slightly frustoconical facilitating its engagement in the interior of the tube or the neck of the bottle.

La surface plane 6 est prolongée par une surépaisseur 6a à bords périphériques évasés 6b venant s'appliquer sur le dessus du col du flacon ou du tube assurant ainsi l'étanchéité du récipient vis-à-vis du milieu extérieur.The flat surface 6 is extended by an additional thickness 6a with flared peripheral edges 6b which is applied to the top of the neck of the bottle or of the tube, thus ensuring the tightness of the container vis-à-vis the external environment.

De plus, le bord périphérique évasé 6b du bouchon 5 coopère avec des redents intérieurs 8 disposés dans le cas présent à 90° les uns des autres prévus dans la paroi interne du capuchon supérieur. Ces redents 8 sont venus de moulage lorsque le capuchon est réalisé en matière plastique moulable. Lorsque le bouchon 5 est en place sur le récipient, et en engageant le capuchon extérieur 1 sur la partie supérieure du récipient, le rebord périphérique évasé 6b par une légère déformation vient se placer entre le fond du dessus 2 et la partie supérieure des redents intérieurs 8.In addition, the flared peripheral edge 6b of the plug 5 cooperates with internal recesses 8 arranged in the present case at 90 ° from each other provided in the internal wall of the upper cap. These redents 8 came from molding when the cap is made of moldable plastic. When the stopper 5 is in place on the container, and by engaging the outer cap 1 on the upper part of the container, the flared peripheral rim 6b by a slight deformation is placed between the bottom of the top 2 and the upper part of the interior redents 8.

On assure ainsi une fermeture parfaitement étanche du récipient contenant par exemple un médicament homéopathique.This ensures a perfectly sealed closure of the container containing for example a homeopathic medicine.

La durée de validité du médicament est ainsi étendue puisque les parois du récipient sont opaques et ne laissent pas passer de rayonnement nuisibles.The period of validity of the drug is thus extended since the walls of the container are opaque and do not allow harmful radiation to pass through.

Pour l'ouverture du récipient, on tire le capuchon extérieur 1 ce qui laisse en place le bouchon 5 car le bord périphérique 6a se dégage des redents intérieurs 8. En effet, la force de maintien de la jupe 7 du bouchon 5 à l'intérieur du récipient est supérieure à la résistance du bord 6a vis-à-vis des redents intérieurs 8 du capuchon 1.To open the container, the outer cap 1 is pulled, which leaves the cap 5 in place because the peripheral edge 6a emerges from the inner recesses 8. In fact, the force holding the skirt 7 from the cap 5 to the inside the container is greater than the resistance of the edge 6a vis-à-vis the inner redents 8 of the cap 1.

Après le retrait du capuchon 1, on retire à la main le bouchon 5. On pratique à l'inverse pour le rebouchage du flacon.After removing the cap 1, the plug 5 is removed by hand. Conversely, the bottle is capped.

A la fig.3, le capuchon 10 de forme cylindrique présente un dessus 11 horizontal dont la périphérie est bordée par une jupe 12 comme dans le cas précédent ; le dessus 11 comporte également un rebord circulaire 13 délimitant un espace 14.In fig.3, the cap 10 of cylindrical shape has a horizontal top 11 whose periphery is bordered by a skirt 12 as in the previous case; the top 11 also includes a circular rim 13 delimiting a space 14.

Intérieurement, la jupe 12 présente, à sa partie supérieure, des renflements 15 disposés dans le cas présent à 90° les uns des autres de façon à enserrer le bouchon 17 qui présente une partie tubulaire inférieure 17a (fig.4) destinée à pénétrer dans le col du flacon ou le haut du tube. Les renflements 15 (de même que les redents 8 de la fig.1) peuvent être disposés à volonté à 90°, à 120° ou à 180° les uns des autres.Internally, the skirt 12 has, at its upper part, bulges 15 arranged in this case at 90 ° from one another so as to grip the plug 17 which has a lower tubular part 17a (fig. 4) intended to penetrate into the neck of the bottle or the top of the tube. The bulges 15 (as well as the recesses 8 in FIG. 1) can be arranged at will at 90 ° , 120 ° or 180 ° from each other.

La périphérie de la partie supérieure du bouchon 17 présente un ou plusieurs anneaux 19 pour coopérer avec la jupe extérieure 12.The periphery of the upper part of the plug 17 has one or more rings 19 for cooperating with the outer skirt 12.

Comme dans le cas précédent, le bouchon 17 est livré solidaire du capuchon 10 de façon à mettre en place le bouchon 17 et le capuchon 10 sur le tube en une seule opération, ce qui fait gagner énormément de temps et permet également le bouchage par machine automatique.As in the previous case, the plug 17 is delivered integral with the cap 10 so as to place the plug 17 and the cap 10 on the tube in a single operation, which saves a great deal of time and also allows the machine to be plugged. automatic.

Le fonctionnement de cette fermeture est identique à celui décrit pour le cas précédent des fig.1 et 2.The operation of this closure is identical to that described for the previous case of FIGS. 1 and 2.

Dans les deux cas, lors du débouchage et du fait de l'ajustement du rebord évasé 6b (bouchon 5) et des redents intérieurs 8 du capuchon 1, ou du ou des anneaux 19 et des renflements 15 (capuchon 10, bouchon 17), chaque capuchon 1 ou 10 se désolidarise du récipient avant que le bouchon 5 ou 17 dont la résistance au désengagement est supérieure ne s'arrache du tube ou du flacon; on ne risque donc pas de renverser par inadverstance les produits contenus dans le tube ou flacon.In both cases, during the unblocking and due to the adjustment of the flared rim 6b (plug 5) and the inner steps 8 of the cap 1, or of the ring or rings 19 and of the bulges 15 (cap 10, plug 17), each cap 1 or 10 is detached from the container before the cap 5 or 17, the resistance to disengagement of which is greater, is torn from the tube or the bottle; there is therefore no risk of inadvertently spilling the products contained in the tube or bottle.

Les capuchons et bouchons décrits ci-dessus sont réalisés en toute matière convenable, compatible avec l'emlallage et le produit à protéger, mais, en général, ils sont réalisés en matières plastiques naturelles ou synthétiques par moulage afin d'obtenir des produits de très bonne qualité.The caps and plugs described above are made of any suitable material, compatible with the packaging and the product to be protected, but, in general, they are made of natural or synthetic plastics by molding in order to obtain products of very high quality. good quality.

La base de la partie tubulaire inférieure 7, 17a du bouchon 5, 17 est évidée en 30 et comporte deux alvéoles 31, 32 comme cela est bien visible à la fig.6.The base of the lower tubular part 7, 17a of the plug 5, 17 is hollowed out at 30 and comprises two cells 31, 32 as is clearly visible in FIG. 6.

La partie supérieure 7b, 17b de ce même bouchon comporte elle aussi un évidement circulaire supérieur 34 (voir fig.5) qui contient trois alvéoles 35, 36,37.The upper part 7b, 17b of this same plug also has an upper circular recess 34 (see fig. 5) which contains three cells 35, 36, 37.

Il est possible également de prévoir, pour assurer une meilleurs étanchéité du bouchon 17 dans le col du flacon ou sur la partie supérieure du tube, des anneaux à section triangulaires 39.It is also possible to provide, to ensure better sealing of the stopper 17 in the neck of the bottle or on the upper part of the tube, rings with triangular section 39.

De plus, il est possible de prévoir autour des alvéoles 31, 32, 35, 36 et 37 un rebord ou gaudron 38 (fig.6) permettant la retenue des petites sphères constituant chacune un élément de la prise du médicament considéré.In addition, it is possible to provide around the cells 31, 32, 35, 36 and 37 a rim or gaudron 38 (fig.6) allowing the retention of small spheres each constituting an element of the intake of the drug considered.
