Abstract

The container has a top part formed with at least one boss having a first side spaced apart from the outer surface of the container by a measure corresponding to the wall thickness of the cap and an other side which defines a ramp. An extreme edge of the boss is in turn spaced apart from the outer surface of the container by a measure which is equal to the wall thickness of the cap and defines a groove corresponding to a rib formed from the inner wall of the cap.

Description

La présente invention concerne les fermetures pour conteneurs divers et, en particulier, pour les conteneurs utilisés dans les domaines de la parfumerie, de la cosmétologie, de la pharmacie ainsi que dans d'autres industries.The present invention relates to closures for various containers and, in particular, for containers used in the fields of perfumery, cosmetology, pharmacy as well as in other industries.

Il est souhaitable d'un point de vue esthétique que le bouchon ou capuchon et le conteneur d'un récipient soient parfaitement alignés, c'est-à-dire ne semblent former qu'une pièce lorsqu'ils sont assemblés bien qu'évidemment le capuchon puisse, également d'un point de vue esthétique, être réalisé en une autre couleur que le conteneur.It is desirable from an aesthetic point of view that the stopper or cap and the container of a container are perfectly aligned, that is to say appear to form only one piece when they are assembled although obviously the cap can, also from an aesthetic point of view, be made in a color other than the container.

On connaît déjà des fermetures de ce genre mais la mise en place du bouchon ou capuchon présente toujours des difficultés car l'usager ne sait pas, a priori, s'il doit tirer sur le bouchon ou capuchon ou s'il doit le tourner par rapport au conteneur ou encore s'il doit rechercher un appendice quelconque provoquant une commande.Closures of this kind are already known but the fitting of the plug or cap always presents difficulties because the user does not know, a priori, whether he should pull on the cap or cap or whether he should turn it by report to the container or if he has to look for any appendix causing an order.

L'invention réalise un conteneur à capuchon amovible dont l'ouverture est extrêmement simple et dont la fermeture est également facilitée même pour un utilisateur peu attentif car la fermeture amène nécessairement, par le rapprochement qui est fait du capuchon et du conteneur, les deux pièces dans une position pour laquelle seule une fermeture et un verrouillage convenables peuvent être produits.The invention provides a container with a removable cap, the opening of which is extremely simple and the closing of which is also facilitated, even for a careless user, since the closing necessarily brings about, by bringing together the cap and the container, the two parts. in a position for which only suitable closure and locking can be produced.

De même, la réouverture, par le mouvement opposé à celui provoquant la fermeture, amène un écartement du capuchon par rapport au conteneur ce qui fait apparaître à l'utilisateur que sa manoeuvre est correcte.Likewise, the reopening, by the movement opposite to that causing the closure, brings about a separation of the cap relative to the container, which makes the user see that its operation is correct.

On connaît d'après le document GB-A 612 366 un conteneur à bouchon amovible à génératrices latérales alignées avec celles du conteneur présentant en section une forme quelconque non circulaire comprenant sur son dessus un goulot et de part et d'autre de ce goulot deux bossages dont un côté est distant des génératrices latérales du conteneur d'une mesure correspondant à l'épaisseur de paroi e du capuchon.Document GB-A 612 366 discloses a container with a removable stopper with lateral generators aligned with those of the container having in section any non-circular shape comprising on its top a neck and on either side of this neck two bosses one side of which is distant from the lateral generatrices of the container by a measurement corresponding to the wall thickness e of the cap.

Conformément à l'invention, le conteneur est caractérisé en ce que le goulot est de forme circulaire et l'autre côté des bossages délimite une rampe, le bord extrême du bossage étant lui-même distant des génératrices latérales du conteneur d'une mesure égale à l'épaisseur des parois du capuchon et délimitant une rainure correspondant à une nervure formée à partir de la paroi interne du capuchon, les nervures et les rainures coopérantes formant des éléments complémentaires pour le verrouillage du capuchon sur le conteneur.According to the invention, the container is characterized in that the neck is circular in shape and the other side of the bosses delimits a ramp, the extreme edge of the boss being itself distant from the lateral generatrices of the container by an equal measure. to the thickness of the walls of the cap and delimiting a groove corresponding to a rib formed from the internal wall of the cap, the ribs and the cooperating grooves forming complementary elements for locking the cap on the container.

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

Une forme de réalisation de l'objet de l'invention est représentée, à titre d'exemple non limitatif, aux dessins annexés.

  • Fig. 5 is a plan similar to FIG. 4 schematically illustrating a particular position of the cap.
  • Fig. 6 is a plan similar to FIG. 4 but showing the position of the cap when it is placed on the container.

Le dessin illustre en 1 un conteneur pouvant indifféremment être constitué par un flacon, un pot, un boîtier ou une boîte de forme quelconque en section.The drawing illustrates in 1 a container which can indifferently be constituted by a bottle, a pot, a case or a box of any shape in section.

Le conteneur 1 est destiné à être fermé par un capuchon 2 présentant, en section, la même forme de façon que le conteneur et son capuchon présentent des génératrices latérales alignées lorsqu'ils sont assemblés.The container 1 is intended to be closed by a cap 2 having, in section, the same shape so that the container and its cap have aligned lateral generatrices when they are assembled.

Le conteneur représenté présente, en section, la forme d'un rectangle à petits côtés arrondis et il en est de même du capuchon 2 ce qui apparaît, en particulier, aux fig. 3 et 4.The container shown has, in section, the shape of a rectangle with small rounded sides and the same is true of the cap 2 which appears, in particular, in FIGS. 3 and 4.

Le conteneur 1 présente un dessus 3, qui est plan, à partir duquel font saillie deux bossages symétriques 4, 5 et un embout ou goulot 6. Les bossages 4, 5 délimitent chacun, sur un côté, une butée 7 respectivement 8. Les butées 7 et 8 sont séparées des côtés 1a, 1 b du conteneur, et donc de ses génératrices latérales, par un espace 9 respectivement 10 dont la largeur correspond à l'épaisseur e (fig. 3) de la paroi du capuchon 2. Les bossages 4, 5 délimitent, à l'opposé des butées 7, 8, des rampes 11, 12 qui s'étendent en hélice depuis le bord extrême 13 respectivement 14 de chaque bossage jusqu'à une génératrice tangente de l'embout du goulot 6. Les bords extrêmes 13, 14 sont distants des petits côtés 1c, 1 d du conteneur d'une mesure qui correspond également à l'épaisseur des parois e du capuchon 2. Des rainures 15 et 16 sont formées en dessous des bords extrêmes 13, 14.The container 1 has a top 3, which is planar, from which protrude two symmetrical bosses 4, 5 and a nozzle or neck 6. The bosses 4, 5 each delimit, on one side, a stop 7 respectively 8. The stops 7 and 8 are separated from the sides 1a, 1b of the container, and therefore from its lateral generatrices, by a space 9 respectively 10 whose width corresponds to the thickness e (fig. 3) of the wall of the cap 2. The bosses 4, 5 delimit, opposite the stops 7, 8, ramps 11, 12 which extend in a helix from the extreme edge 13 respectively 14 of each boss to a tangent generator of the end of the neck 6. The end edges 13, 14 are distant from the short sides 1c, 1d of the container by a measure which also corresponds to the thickness of the walls e of the cap 2. Grooves 15 and 16 are formed below the end edges 13, 14 .

Ainsi que cela est expliqué dans ce qui précède, le capuchon 2 présente, en section, la même forme que le conteneur 1 et son épaisseur de paroi est uniforme, comme l'illustre le dessin, en particulier la fig. 3, pour faciliter sa réalisation. On ne sortirait pas du cadre de l'invention en prévoyant que les grands et petits côtés soient d'épaisseurs différentes, mais il importe essentiellement suivant l'invention que les génératrices extrêmes du capuchon soient alignées avec celles du conteneur lorsqu'ils sont assemblés et que le conteneur se trouve en position fermée.As explained in the foregoing, the cap 2 has, in section, the same shape as the container 1 and its wall thickness is uniform, as illustrated in the drawing, in particular FIG. 3, to facilitate its realization. It would not be departing from the scope of the invention to provide that the large and small sides are of different thicknesses, but it is essentially important according to the invention that the end generators of the cap are aligned with those of the container when they are assembled and the container is in the closed position.

Comme l'illustre le dessin, le capuchon présente, à sa base qui est ouverte et le long d'une partie de ses petits côtés, deux nervures 17, 18.As illustrated in the drawing, the cap has, at its base which is open and along part of its short sides, two ribs 17, 18.

Les nervures présentent une épaisseur qui correspond à celle des rainures 15, 16.The ribs have a thickness which corresponds to that of the grooves 15, 16.

Pour faciliter le centrage du capuchon par rapport au conteneur, il est avantageux que le capuchon présente des ailettes de centrage 19, 20 en forme de secteurs circulaires et écartées d'une mesure correspondant au diamètre extrême de l'embout ou goulot 6 qui est de forme circulaire lorsque le capuchon est muni des ailettes 19, 20.To facilitate centering of the cap relative to the container, it is advantageous for the cap to have centering fins 19, 20 in the form of circular sectors and spaced apart by a measurement corresponding to the extreme diameter of the nozzle or neck 6 which is circular when the cap is provided with the fins 19, 20.

Le capuchon est également muni d'un organe d'étanchéité 21 illustré sous la forme d'une lèvre déformable annulaire pour coopérer avec la partie supérieure de l'embout ou goulot 6. Un autre type d'organe d'étanchéité pourrait évidemment être mis en oeuvre.The cap is also provided with a sealing member 21 illustrated in the form of an annular deformable lip to cooperate with the upper part of the end piece or neck 6. Another type of sealing member could obviously be put in action.

Pour mettre en place le capuchon, on est amené à emboîter l'embout 6 par les ailettes 19, 20 en le décalant d'environ 1/8ème de tour par rapport au conteneur 1 de façon que la base libre du capuchon repose sur le dessus 3 du conteneur.To put the cap in place, it is necessary to fit the cap 6 by the fins 19, 20 by shifting it by about 1 / 8th of a turn relative to the container 1 so that the free base of the cap rests on the top 3 of the container.

L'utilisateur détermine immédiatement la mesure dont le capuchon doit être décalé angulairement par rapport au conteneur puisque, si la mesure du décalage est trop faible ou au contraire trop importante, les nervures 17, 18 viennent en appui sur le dessus des bossages 4, 5 de sorte que la base du capuchon ne peut pas prendre appui sur le dessus 3 dudit conteneur. Les rampes 11, 12, sur lesquelles la base du capuchon peut glisser, facilitent sa mise en place.The user immediately determines the measurement, the cap of which must be angularly offset relative to the container since, if the measurement of the offset is too small or on the contrary too great, the ribs 17, 18 come to bear on the top of the bosses 4, 5 so that the base of the cap cannot bear on the top 3 of said container. The ramps 11, 12, on which the base of the cap can slide, facilitate its installation.

Lorsque le capuchon est présenté convenablement, ce qui est illustré en traits mixtes à la fig. 5, les nervures 17, 18 se trouvent juste en regard de l'embouchure des rainures 15, 16 et les grands côtés 2a, 2b du capuchon 2 se trouvent à la base des rampes 11, 12. En faisant tourner le capuchon dans le sens des aiguilles d'une montre, les nervures 17, 18 sont engagées dans les rainures 15, 16 jusqu'au moment où les parois internes des grands côtés 2a, 2b du capuchon viennent heurter les butées 7, 8 du conteneur.When the cap is properly presented, which is illustrated in phantom in FIG. 5, the ribs 17, 18 are located just opposite the mouth of the grooves 15, 16 and the long sides 2a, 2b of the cap 2 are located at the base of the ramps 11, 12. By rotating the cap in the direction clockwise, the ribs 17, 18 are engaged in the grooves 15, 16 until the inner walls of the long sides 2a, 2b of the cap strike the stops 7, 8 of the container.

Etant donné que l'épaisseur des parois du capuchon correspond à la largeur des espaces 9, 10, les génératrices extérieures des grands côtés du capuchon sont alors nécessairement alignées avec les génératrices extérieures du conteneur et, il en est évidemment de même en ce qui concerne les génératrices extérieures des petits côtés du capuchon et des petits côtés du conteneur ce qui est illustré par la fig. 6.Since the thickness of the walls of the cap corresponds to the width of the spaces 9, 10, the external generators of the long sides of the cap are then necessarily aligned with the external generators of the container and, it is obviously the same as regards the external generators on the short sides of the cap and on the short sides of the container which is illustrated in fig. 6.

Lorsque l'on désire retirer le capuchon, celui-ci est tourné dans le sens contraire des aiguilles d'une montre de sorte qu'il est ramené à la position illustrée à la fig. 5.When it is desired to remove the cap, the latter is turned anti-clockwise so that it is brought back to the position illustrated in FIG. 5.

En continuant le mouvement de rotation dans le sens contraire des aiguilles d'une montre, les grands côtés 2a, 2b du capuchon sont amenés à glisser le long des rampes 11, 12 ce qui a pour effet de commencer à soulever le capuchon par rapport au conteneur.Continuing the rotational movement counterclockwise, the long sides 2a, 2b of the cap are caused to slide along the ramps 11, 12 which has the effect of starting to raise the cap relative to the container.

L'utilisateur peut ensuite dégager librement le capuchon.The user can then freely release the cap.

L'invention n'est pas limitée à l'exemple de réalisation représenté et décrit en détail, car diverses modifications peuvent y être apportées sans sortir de son cadre. En particulier, les nervures 17, 18, de même que les parois des rainures 15, 16, peuvent former des rampes complémentaires pour assurer le coincement et, par conséquent, le verrouillage du capuchon sur le conteneur en fin de mise en place. En outre, un seul bossage 4 ou 5 peut être prévu notamment lorsque l'embout ou goulot 6 est désaxé par rapport au conteneur.The invention is not limited to the embodiment shown and described in detail, since various modifications can be made without departing from its scope. In particular, the ribs 17, 18, as well as the walls of the grooves 15, 16, can form complementary ramps to ensure jamming and, consequently, the locking of the cap on the container at the end of installation. In addition, a single boss 4 or 5 can be provided in particular when the end piece or neck 6 is off-center with respect to the container.
