Abstract
Description
L'invention concerne un récipient refermable en matière synthétique avec opercule de délaminage, en particulier pour le lait condensé ou la crème à café.The invention relates to a reclosable container made of synthetic material with a delamination cover, in particular for condensed milk or coffee cream.
Le brevet EP 137 997 concerne déjà un tel récipient, comportant une partie de préhension et une ouverture de déversement. Ce type de récipient est prévu pour être vidé en plusieurs étapes. L'inconvénient de ce type d'emballage est qu'il ne comporte pas de système de refermeture, ce qui fait que lors de la seconde utilisation, il se forme sur l'ouverture de déversement une croûte de lait qui est d'une part inesthétique et d'autre part peut provoquer des risques de contamination du lait.Patent EP 137 997 already relates to such a container, comprising a gripping part and a discharge opening. This type of container is intended to be emptied in several stages. The disadvantage of this type of packaging is that it does not have a reclosing system, which means that during the second use, a crust of milk is formed on the discharge opening which is on the one hand unsightly and on the other hand can cause risks of contamination of milk.
Le brevet US 3,101,870 concerne un récipient refermable qui comporte un rebord soudé à un opercule, ledit rebord devant être déchiré lors de la première ouverture grâce à des rainures d'affaiblissement. Le brevet DE-OS 3,446,093 concerne un récipient basé sur le même principe que le précédent, dans lequel il faut aussi déchirer la languette d'ouverture lors de la première ouverture. Ce type d'ouverture nécessite une force d'ouverture élevée qui peut conduire l'utilisateur à des défauts de manipulation pouvant mener au renversement du contenu.US Patent 3,101,870 relates to a resealable container which has a rim welded to a cover, said rim having to be torn during the first opening by means of weakening grooves. DE-OS patent 3,446,093 relates to a container based on the same principle as the previous one, in which it is also necessary to tear the opening tab during the first opening. This type of opening requires a high opening force which can lead the user to handling faults which can lead to the contents being overturned.
La présente invention permet de remédier à ce type de défaut grâce à un système à refermeture à volonté, dans lequel la languette d'ouverture est presque complètement découpée au préalable.The present invention makes it possible to remedy this type of defect by means of a reclosing system at will, in which the opening tongue is almost completely cut beforehand.
L'invention concerne un récipient refermable en matière synthétique avec opercule de délaminage, en particulier pour le lait condensé ou la crème à café, comportant un fond, un bord latéral et un rebord supérieur pour le remplissage et l'ouverture de l'opercule de délaminage, ledit récipient étant sensiblement de forme cylindrique ou tronc conique et comportant une partie de préhension et un bec verseur pour le liquide sur le bord latéral. Il comporte une languette d'ouverture en forme de V découpée sur le rebord supérieur suivant le contour de l'arête du bec verseur, ladite languette pouvant être mise en position d'ouverture et de fermeture du récipient et l'opercule est soudé sur tout le pourtour du rebord supérieur, en particulier dans la zone du bec verseur, de part et d'autre du contour de l'arête dudit bec. Comme la languette d'ouverture est complètement découpée du rebord supérieur, sauf au bout des branches du V, il faut que l'opercule soit soudé sur la languette d'ouverture et sur l'intérieur du rebord du bec verseur pour assurer une étanchéité avant ouverture.The invention relates to a resealable container made of synthetic material with delamination cap, in particular for condensed milk or coffee cream, comprising a bottom, a side edge and an upper rim for the filling and opening of the delamination cap, said container being substantially of cylindrical shape or conical trunk and comprising a gripping part and a pouring spout for the liquid on the lateral edge. It has a V-shaped opening tongue cut out on the upper rim along the contour of the edge of the pouring spout, said tongue being able to be placed in the container opening and closing position and the lid is welded on all the periphery of the upper rim, in particular in the region of the spout, on either side of the contour of the edge of said spout. As the opening tongue is completely cut from the upper rim, except at the end of the branches of the V, the cover must be welded on the opening tongue and on the inside of the rim of the pouring spout to ensure a front seal opening.
Outre le lait condensé, ce type d'emballage peut également être utilisé pour le conditionnement du lait, de la crème, de sauces, de nappages et autres produits liquides du domaine alimentaire. Il est d'un emploi très commode, car il suffit, lors du premier usage, de tirer la languette d'ouverture, de manière à ce que l'opercule se décolle du rebord supérieur intérieur de la partie autour du bec verseur tout en restant soudée sur la languette d'ouverture et sur tout le reste du pourtour du récipient. Après usage on rabat la languette sur le bec verseur.In addition to condensed milk, this type of packaging can also be used for packaging milk, cream, sauces, toppings and other liquid products from the food industry. It is very convenient to use, because it suffices, during the first use, to pull the opening tab, so that the seal comes off the inner upper rim of the part around the spout while remaining welded to the opening tab and all the rest of the periphery of the container. After use, fold the tongue over the spout.
Pour assurer une bonne rigidité de la languette d'ouverture, on prévoit sous celle-ci, dans la zone du bec verseur une zone de renforcement s'étendant le long de l'arête du bec verseur d'environ 5 à 40 mm. Ce renforcement a de préférence une section en forme de U et il permet en outre de mieux garantir l'étanchéité lors de la refermeture.To ensure good rigidity of the opening tongue, there is provided under it, in the region of the pouring spout, a reinforcement zone extending along the edge of the pouring spout of approximately 5 to 40 mm. This reinforcement preferably has a U-shaped section and it also makes it possible to better guarantee sealing during reclosing.
Le récipient sans opercule est fabriqué soit par thermoformage, soit par injection. La languette d'arrachage fait partie intégrante du rebord supérieur. Elle est simplement coupée en suivant le contour du bec verseur.The container without lid is produced either by thermoforming or by injection. The tear-off tab is an integral part of the upper edge. It is simply cut following the outline of the spout.
Cette découpe est de préférence en biais, pour permettre lors de la fermeture de la languette un encliquetage assurant une bonne étanchéité.This cut is preferably at an angle, to allow when closing the tab a snap ensuring a good seal.
Comme déjà mentionnée ci-dessus, la languette d'ouverture n'est pas découpée au bout des branches du V. A cet endroit, la languette est avantageusement entaillée sous le rebord et vers l'extérieur dudit rebord pour permettre lors de l'ouverture un bon effet de charnière, de manière à ce que le récipient reste bien ouvert lors de son utilisation.As already mentioned above, the opening tongue is not cut at the end of the branches of the V. At this point, the tongue is advantageously notched under the rim and towards the outside of said rim to allow during opening a good hinge effect, so that the container remains open when in use.
Selon une autre caractéristique, l'opercule comporte une zone non soudée sur la languette d'ouverture entre les zones de soudage de part et d'autre du contour de l'arête du bec verseur.According to another characteristic, the cover comprises an unwelded zone on the opening tongue between the welding zones on either side of the contour of the edge of the pouring spout.
Pour obtenir un mince filet de lait lors du versement, les parois du bec verseur font un angle compris entre 60 et 95°, de préférence un angle d'environ 92°.To obtain a thin stream of milk during pouring, the walls of the spout make an angle between 60 and 95 °, preferably an angle of about 92 °.
Le matériau utilisé pour le corps du récipient est choisi parmi le polypropylène, le polyéthylène, le polyester, le polyamide, le polycarbonate et le polychlorure de vinyle, dans le cas où le récipient avec son contenu est thermisé, par exemple par poststérilisation. Ce récipient est soit à mono-couche ou à multi-couches auquel cas on peut envisager la combinaison polypropylène/EVOH/ polypropylène. A la place de la couche EVOH (copolymère d'éthylène et d'alcool vinylique), on peut envisager toute autre couche formant barrière d'oxygène, par exemple polychlorure de vinylidène. Si le récipient est rempli aseptiquement, on peut élargir la gamme des plastiques aux polystyrènes ou leurs copolymères.The material used for the body of the container is chosen from polypropylene, polyethylene, polyester, polyamide, polycarbonate and polyvinyl chloride, in the case where the container with its contents is thermized, for example by post-sterilization. This container is either single-layer or multi-layer in which case the combination of polypropylene / EVOH / polypropylene can be envisaged. Instead of the EVOH layer (copolymer of ethylene and of vinyl alcohol), it is possible to envisage any other layer forming an oxygen barrier, for example polyvinylidene chloride. If the container is filled aseptically, the range of plastics can be extended to polystyrenes or their copolymers.
L'opercule de délaminage est normalement une feuille d'aluminium scellée sur le rebord supérieur du récipient par soudage. D'autres opercules sont également envisageable, par ex. en matériaux plastiques, tels que polychlorure de vinyle. Pour éviter le craquelage de l'opercule en cas de poststérilisation, on choisit un opercule gaufré.The delamination cover is normally an aluminum foil sealed on the upper rim of the container by welding. Other covers are also possible, eg. made of plastic materials, such as polyvinyl chloride. To avoid cracking of the lid in case of post sterilization, we choose an embossed lid.

Le récipient comprend un fond (1), une paroi latérale (2) et un rebord supérieur (3). Sur la paroi latérale, on a le bec verseur (4) et la partie de préhension (5). L'opercule de délaminage (6) est soudé sur le rebord (3) qui comprend dans la zone du bec verseur une languette d'ouverture (7). Cette languette comporte une zone de renforcement (8) de section sensiblement en forme de U et est découpée du rebord supérieur selon la ligne (9) définissant le contour de l'arête du bec verseur. Cette découpe est normalement en biais comme il apparaît sur la Fig. 3.The container comprises a bottom (1), a side wall (2) and an upper rim (3). On the side wall, there is the spout (4) and the gripping part (5). The delamination cover (6) is welded to the flange (3) which includes in the region of the spout a tongue opening (7). This tongue has a reinforcement zone (8) of substantially U-shaped section and is cut from the upper rim along the line (9) defining the contour of the edge of the spout. This cut is normally at an angle as shown in Fig. 3.
On opère de la manière suivante pour la fabrication de ce récipient. On effectue un thermoformage pour obtenir la forme selon la Fig. 4. On fait la découpe selon la ligne (9). On stérilise le récipient et on l'amène sur une machine de remplissage aseptique où l'on effectue le remplissage avec par exemple du lait condensé. On soude finalement l'opercule de délaminage (6) sur le rebord supérieur (3). L'opercule doit bien être soudée sur la zone (a) (Fig. 2) et sur la languette d'ouverture (7). La zone (a) doit avoir une largeur d'au moins 1 mm pour garantir une bonne étanchéité du pot. On a ainsi un pot de produit longue conservation prêt à la consommation.The procedure is as follows for the manufacture of this container. Thermoforming is carried out to obtain the shape according to FIG. 4. We cut along the line (9). The container is sterilized and brought to an aseptic filling machine where filling is carried out, for example with condensed milk. Finally, the delamination cover (6) is welded to the upper rim (3). The cover must be well welded on the area (a) (Fig. 2) and on the opening tab (7). Zone (a) must have a width of at least 1 mm to guarantee a good seal of the pot. We thus have a jar of long-life product ready for consumption.
Dans le cas d'un remplissage avec poststérilisation, le récipient avec son contenu est transféré dans une installation de stérilisation. Le soudage de l'opercule sur tout le rebord supérieur (3) (Fig. 4) doit être de très bonne qualité afin de résister aux conditions de stérilisation. C'est ainsi que la largeur du cordon de soudage doit être d'environ 2 mm. Dans la zone du bec verseur, la largeur de soudage est d'environ 2 mm de part et d'autre de la ligne (9).In the case of filling with post sterilization, the container with its contents is transferred to a sterilization installation. The welding of the cover on the entire upper edge (3) (Fig. 4) must be of very good quality in order to resist the sterilization conditions. Thus, the width of the weld bead should be approximately 2 mm. In the area of the spout, the welding width is approximately 2 mm on either side of the line (9).
Pour l'utilisation on opère de la manière suivante :For use, we operate as follows:
On tire la languette d'ouverture (7) vers le haut et vers l'arrière (Fig. 5). L'opercule (6) reste solidaire de la languette mais se détache du rebord supérieur (3) dans la zone (a). On lève la languette suffisamment haut de manière à réaliser une bonne ouverture de sortie du lait ou de tout autre produit.Pull the opening tab (7) up and back (Fig. 5). The cover (6) remains integral with the tongue but detaches from the upper edge (3) in the area (a). The tongue is raised high enough to make a good opening for the milk or any other product.
En fin d'utilisation, on rabat la languette (7) vers l'avant. Elle s'encliquète de par son arête (10) sur l'arête (11) du bec verseur. L'angle formant le bec verseur est d'environ 92°.At the end of use, the tongue (7) is folded forward. It clicks into place with its edge (10) on the edge (11) of the spout. The angle forming the spout is approximately 92 °.
Le positionnement exact de l'arête (10) par rapport à l'arête (11) est obtenu par la fonction charnière de la partie (12) (Fig. 5) non découpée du rebord (3). De manière avantageuse, on prévoit à cet endroit une entaille (13) sous le rebord supérieur (3) et vers l'extérieur dudit rebord permettant une bonne ouverture lors de l'utilisation du récipient pour verser le contenu. La zone soudée de l'opercule sur le rebord supérieur est indiqué par des hachures sur la fig. 2.The exact positioning of the edge (10) relative to the edge (11) is obtained by the hinge function of the part (12) (Fig. 5) not cut from the flange (3). Advantageously, a notch (13) is provided at this point under the upper rim (3) and towards the outside of said rim allowing good opening when the container is used to pour the contents. The welded area of the cover on the upper edge is indicated by hatching in fig. 2.
Sur la languette d'ouverture (7), il est prévu une zone (14) de non soudage de l'opercule. Par contre, dans la zone (12), il faut que la bande de soudage soit assez large pour garantir un bon collage de l'opercule à l'endroit qui sert de charnière pour les ouvertures/fermetures successives.On the opening tab (7), there is provided a zone (14) for non-welding of the cover. On the other hand, in zone (12), the welding strip must be wide enough to guarantee a good bonding of the seal at the place which serves as a hinge for successive openings / closings.
Le pot de crème selon l'invention est normalement prévu pour avoir une contenance de 120 à 200 ml.The jar of cream according to the invention is normally designed to have a capacity of 120 to 200 ml.
On dispose ainsi d'un pot à refermeture à bonne étanchéité, de maniement simple et pouvant être fabriqué et conditionnné sur des chaînes de remplissage connues.This provides a reclosable jar with good tightness, simple handling and which can be manufactured and packaged on known filling lines.
