Description

La présente invention se rapporte à un bouchon à obturateur pivotant pour la distribution de matières liquides ou pâteuses conditionnées dans des flacons ou récipients analogues.The present invention relates to a swivel shutter cap for dispensing liquid or pasty materials packaged in bottles or similar containers.

De tels bouchons à obturateur pivotant utilisés avec succès par exemple pour des produits alimentaires, des produits cosmétiques, etc., comprennent un corps de bouchon ayant une forme générale en godet, avec un fond et une jupe s'étendant vers le bas à partir du fond, la jupe étant munie de moyens pour la fixation du corps de bouchon au goulot d'un flacon, et le fond étant percé d'un trou de passage et muni, de part et d'autre de ce trou, de paliers alignés, ouverts vers le haut. Ces bouchons comprennent, en outre, un bec distributeur allongé, traversé sur toute sa longueur par un canal et comportant au voisinage d'une première de ses extrémités, des tourillons susceptibles d'être encliquetés dans les paliers du fond du corps de bouchon pour permettre le pivotement du bec. Ladite extrémité intérieure du bec est arrondie de manière à se trouver en contact avec la surface du fond autour du trou de passage de ce dernier, dans toutes les positions de pivotement du bec. Ce bec, dans une première position extrême dans laquelle il est sensiblement perpendiculaire à l'axe du corps de bouchon, obture le trou de passage de ce dernier et, dans une seconde position extrême, dans laquelle il est sensiblement parallèle à l'axe du corps de bouchon permet audit trou de communiquer avec l'extérieur par l'intermédiaire du canal du bec.Such swivel shutter plugs successfully used for example for food products, cosmetic products, etc., comprise a plug body having a general cup shape, with a bottom and a skirt extending downwards from the bottom, the skirt being provided with means for fixing the cap body to the neck of a bottle, and the bottom being pierced with a through hole and provided, on either side of this hole, with aligned bearings, open up. These plugs further comprise an elongated dispensing spout, traversed over its entire length by a channel and comprising, in the vicinity of a first of its ends, pins capable of being snapped into the bearings of the bottom of the plug body to allow the pivoting of the spout. Said inner end of the spout is rounded so as to be in contact with the bottom surface around the passage hole of the latter, in all the pivoting positions of the spout. This spout, in a first extreme position in which it is substantially perpendicular to the axis of the plug body, closes the passage hole of the latter and, in a second extreme position, in which it is substantially parallel to the axis of the plug body allows said hole to communicate with the outside through the channel of the spout.

Un autre mode de réalisation connu de bouchons à obturateur pivotant comprend, à la place d'un bec distributeur allongé, creux, une simple palette montée pivotante par des tourillons encliquetés dans des paliers, comme sur les bouchons à bec pivotant, cette palette comportant un téton qui coopère avec un trou de passage prévu dans le fond du corps de bouchon, dans une position décalée par rapport à l'axe des paliers. Ce téton pénètre, en l'obturant, dans le trou de passage du fond du corps du bouchon, dans une première position dans laquelle la palette est sensiblement perpendiculaire à l'axe du corps de bouchon. Ce téton est retiré dudit trou de passage lorsque la palette est soulevée par pivotement et en particulier dégage complètement le trou lorsque la palette occupe une seconde position dans laquelle elle est sensiblement perpendiculaire à l'axe du corps de bouchon.Another known embodiment of plugs with pivoting shutter comprises, instead of an elongated, hollow dispensing spout, a simple pallet pivotally mounted by trunnions snapped into bearings, as on swivel spout caps, this pallet comprising a stud which cooperates with a through hole provided in the bottom of the plug body, in a position offset from the axis of the bearings. This stud penetrates, by closing it, in the through hole of the bottom of the cap body, in a first position in which the pallet is substantially perpendicular to the axis of the cap body. This stud is removed from said through hole when the pallet is raised by pivoting and in particular completely clears the hole when the pallet occupies a second position in which it is substantially perpendicular to the axis of the plug body.

Les bouchons connus à bec pivotant ou à palette pivotante ne sont pas du type inviolable, alors que cette inviolabilité qui consiste à prévoir des moyens indiquant qu'une ouverture ou tentative d'ouverture a eu lieu est exigée de plus en plus par les consomma­teurs.The known caps with swivel spout or swivel pallet are not of the inviolable type, while this inviolability which consists in providing means indicating that an opening or attempted opening has taken place is increasingly demanded by consumers.

La présente invention a pour objet un bouchon du type à obturateur pivotant qui, tout en pouvant être fabriqué par moulage à une cadence élevée, est muni de moyens d'inviolabilité, sans que lesdits moyens d'inviolabilité compliquent la fabrication ou augmentent notablement le prix de revient du bouchon.The subject of the present invention is a plug of the pivoting shutter type which, while being able to be manufactured by molding at a high rate, is provided with tamper-evident means, without said tamper-evident means complicating manufacture or appreciably increasing the price. of the cap.

Le bouchon à obturateur pivotant conforme à l'invention pour la distribution de matières liquides ou pâteuses conditionnées dans des flacons ou récipients analogues comprend un corps de bouchon ayant une forme générale en godet, et un obturateur pivotant. Le corps de bouchon comporte un fond et une jupe s'étendant vers le bas à partir dudit fond. La jupe est munie de moyens pour la fixation du corps de bouchon au goulot d'un flacon, et le fond est percé d'un trou de passage et muni de paliers alignés, ouverts vers le haut. L'obtura­teur pivotant, de forme allongée comporte, au voisinage d'une première de ses extrémités, des tourillons susceptibles d'être encliquetés dans lesdits paliers du fond du corps de bouchon, pour permettre le pivotement de l'obturateur qui, dans une première position extrême, dans laquelle il est sensiblement perpendiculaire à l'axe du corps de bouchon, obture le trou de passage du corps du bouchon et qui, dans une seconde position extrême, dans laquelle il est sensiblement parallèle à l'axe du corps de bouchon, dégage ledit trou de passage. Sur le bouchon conforme à l'invention, lesdits paliers sont formés en saillie vers le haut sur le fond du corps de bouchon et l'obturateur, dans ladite première position extrême, est entouré par et réalisé d'une seule pièce avec une coiffe susceptible d'être rapportée par encliquetage sur le fond du corps de bouchon, l'obturateur étant relié à la coiffe par des ponts de matière déchirables.The swivel shutter cap according to the invention for dispensing liquid or pasty materials packaged in bottles or similar containers comprises a plug body having a general cup shape, and a swivel shutter. The plug body has a bottom and a skirt extending downward from said bottom. The skirt is provided with means for fixing the stopper body to the neck of a bottle, and the bottom is pierced with a through hole and provided with aligned bearings, open upwards. The elongated pivoting shutter comprises, in the vicinity of a first of its ends, pins which can be snapped into said bearings at the bottom of the plug body, to allow pivoting of the shutter which, in a first extreme position, in which it is substantially perpendicular to the axis of the plug body, closes the through hole of the plug body and which, in a second extreme position, in which it is substantially parallel to the axis of the plug body, releases said through hole. On the stopper according to the invention, said bearings are formed projecting upwards on the bottom of the stopper body and the shutter, in said first extreme position, is surrounded by and produced in one piece with a cap capable of to be attached by snapping onto the bottom of the cap body, the shutter being connected to the cap by bridges of tearable material.

Ainsi, le bouchon conforme à l'invention se compose de deux pièces moulées séparément, à savoir d'un corps de bouchon d'une part, et un ensemble obturateur pivotant et coiffe. cela permet par exemple de réaliser la coiffe et l'obturateur en un matériau différent du matériau du corps de bouchon et en particulier dans une couleur différente, ce qui offre d'intéressantes possibilités de combinaisons de couleurs pour l'ensemble du bouchon, mais permet surtout de disposer d'un bouchon à obturateur pivotant du type inviolable, toute tentative d'ouverture sur l'obturateur provoquant la rupture des ponts de matière déchirables entre l'obturateur et la coiffe.Thus, the plug according to the invention consists of two parts molded separately, namely a plug body on the one hand, and a pivoting shutter and cap assembly. this allows for example to make the cap and the shutter in a material different from the material of the cap body and in particular in a different color, which offers interesting possibilities of color combinations for the entire cap, but allows above all to have a plug with a pivoting shutter of the tamper-evident type, any attempt to open on the shutter causing the bridges of tearable material between the shutter and the cap to break.

Afin que lesdits ponts déchirables soient bien visibles, il est avantageux qu'ils soient disposés entre la face supérieure de la coiffe et la face supérieure de l'obturateur pivotant.In order for said tearable bridges to be clearly visible, it is advantageous for them to be disposed between the upper face of the cap and the upper face of the pivoting shutter.

Les moyens de déchirure peuvent être constitués par exemple par un voile ou par au moins deux ponts discrets entre chaque bord latéral de l'obturateur et chacun des deux bords en regard d'une échancrure sensiblement radiale prévue dans la coiffe pour l'obtura­teur pivotant.The tearing means can be constituted for example by a veil or by at least two discrete bridges between each lateral edge of the shutter and each of the two edges facing a substantially radial notch provided in the cap for the pivoting shutter.

Le bouchon à bec pivotant illustré par les figures 1 à 4 se compose de deux pièces moulées en matière plastique, à savoir d'un corps de bouchon 1 et d'un ensemble bec/coiffe 2 rapporté par encliquetage sur le corps de bouchon 1.The swivel spout cap illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 4 is made up of two molded plastic parts, namely a cap body 1 and a spout / cap assembly 2 attached by snap-fastening to the cap body 1.

Le corps de bouchon 1 présente la forme générale d'un godet avec un fond 3 et une jupe 4 s'étendant vers le bas à partir du fond 3 et comportant des moyens pour sa fixation sur un goulot de bouteille, à savoir dans l'exemple représenté une gorge intérieure 5 pour la fixation par encliquetage sur bourrelet extérieur d'un goulot de flacon non représenté.The cap body 1 has the general shape of a cup with a bottom 3 and a skirt 4 extending downward from the bottom 3 and comprising means for its attachment to a bottle neck, namely in the example shown an inner groove 5 for snap fastening on the outer bead of a bottle neck not shown.

Le fond 3 comporte, en saillie sur sa face inférieure, une jupe interne d'étanchéité 6 qui s'emboîte dans l'extrémité du goulot de flacon pour assurer l'étanchéité du corps de bouchon 1 sur le goulot.The bottom 3 has, projecting from its underside, an internal sealing skirt 6 which fits into the end of the bottle neck to seal the cap body 1 on the neck.

Le fond 3 est muni, en son centre, d'un trou de passage 7 débouchant vers le haut dans un creux 8 en forme de segment de cylindre ménagé dans la face supérieure du fond 3.The bottom 3 is provided, in its center, with a through hole 7 opening upwards in a hollow 8 in the form of a cylinder segment formed in the upper face of the bottom 3.

Sur deux côtés opposés du trou 7, le fond 3 porte, sur le dessus, deux paliers 9 à axes horizontaux alignés, ouverts vers le haut, chaque palier se présentant sous la forme d'un double bossage en U renversé dont les deux branches sont légèrement resserrées à leur extrémité supérieure.On two opposite sides of the hole 7, the bottom 3 carries, on the top, two bearings 9 with aligned horizontal axes, open upwards, each bearing being in the form of a double inverted U-shaped boss, the two branches of which are slightly tightened at their upper end.

Par ailleurs, le fond 3 porte, en saillie vers le haut sur la face supérieure, plusieurs languettes 10 réparties sur le pourtour, les languettes étant légèrement en retrait radialement vers l'inté­rieur par rapport au bord extérieur du fond 3. Il ressort des figures 1 et 3 qu'une des languettes 10 est disposée dans le plan de coupe I-I et les deux autres dans le plan de coupe III-III selon la figure 2.Furthermore, the bottom 3 carries, projecting upwards on the upper face, several tongues 10 distributed around the periphery, the tongues being slightly recessed radially inwards with respect to the outer edge of the bottom 3. It can be seen from the figures 1 and 3 that one of the tongues 10 is arranged in the cutting plane II and the other two in the cutting plane III-III according to FIG. 2.

Dans les mêmes plans de coupe, le fond 3 porte, en saillie vers le haut, trois paires de pattes 11, 12 espacées radialement compre­nant chacune une patte intérieure 11 à surface extérieure plane et une patte extérieure 12 comportant dans sa surface intérieure une rainure horizontale 13. Une patte 14 est formée en saillie vers le haut sur le fond 3 à l'opposé de la languette 10 dans le plan de coupe I-I.In the same cutting planes, the bottom 3 carries, projecting upwards, three pairs of legs 11, 12 radially spaced each comprising an inner leg 11 with a flat outer surface and an outer leg 12 having in its inner surface a horizontal groove 13. A tab 14 is formed projecting upwards on the bottom 3 opposite the tongue 10 in the section plane II.

Sur le dessus du corps de bouchon 1 est rapporté l'ensemble coiffe/bec pivotant 2 qui est formé d'une coiffe 15 et d'un bec 16, les deux parties étant réalisées d'une seule pièce par moulage.On the top of the plug body 1 is attached the cap / swivel spout 2 assembly which is formed by a cap 15 and a spout 16, the two parts being produced in one piece by molding.

La coiffe 15 présente une forme générale en godet, avec un fond 17 plat et une jupe 18 s'étendant vers le bas sous la forme d'un rebord sur le fond 17.The cap 15 has a general cup shape, with a flat bottom 17 and a skirt 18 extending downwards in the form of a rim on the bottom 17.

Comme le montre plus particulièrement la figure 2, le fond 17 de la coiffe 15 comporte un évidement central 19 rectangulaire, ainsi qu'une échancrure radiale 20 s'étendant depuis ledit évidement central 19 vers l'extérieur jusqu'au bord de la coiffe 15, cette échancrure renfermant le bec 16 qui s'étend depuis la bord de de la coiffe 15 jusqu'au-delà du centre de cette dernière, c'est-à-dire à l'intérieur de l'évidement central 19.As shown more particularly in FIG. 2, the bottom 17 of the cap 15 has a rectangular central recess 19, as well as a radial notch 20 extending from said central recess 19 outwards to the edge of the cap 15 , this notch containing the spout 16 which extends from the edge of the cap 15 to beyond the center of the latter, that is to say inside the central recess 19.

Le bec 16 est constitué, comme le montre surtout la figure 4, par une partie 21 tubulaire, de section rectangulaire, traversée sur toute sa longueur par un canal 22 également de section rectangulaire débouchant aux deux extrémités de la partie 21. Le bec 16 est arrondi en forme de segment de cylindre 23 à son extrémité intérieure et comporte, au voisinage de cette extrémité, deux tourillons 24 opposés dont les axes horizontaux sont confondus avec l'axe de courbure de l'extrémité 23 en segment de cylindre du bec 16.The spout 16 is constituted, as shown above in FIG. 4, by a tubular part 21, of rectangular section, traversed over its entire length by a channel 22 also of rectangular section opening out at the two ends of the part 21. The spout 16 is rounded in the shape of a cylinder segment 23 at its inner end and comprises, in the vicinity of this end, two opposite journals 24 whose horizontal axes coincide with the axis of curvature of the end 23 in the cylinder segment of the spout 16.

Comme le montrent les figures 2 et 4, la partie 21 du bec 16 est reliée au fond 17 de la coiffe 15, dans le plan de la face supérieure du fond 17 et de la partie 21, par plusieurs ponts de matière 25 répartis sur la longueur de l'échancrure 20.As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, the part 21 of the spout 16 is connected to the bottom 17 of the cover 15, in the plane of the upper face of the bottom 17 and of the part 21, by several bridges of material 25 distributed over the notch length 20.

La coiffe 15 porte enfin, sur la face inférieure de son fond 17, trois pattes 26 faisant saillie vers le bas, dans les mêmes positions angulaires réciproques que les paires de pattes 11 et 12 du fond 3 du corps de bouchon 1, chaque patte 26 présentant une face interne lisse et une face externe munie d'un bourrelet 27.The cover 15 finally carries, on the underside of its bottom 17, three legs 26 projecting downward, in the same reciprocal angular positions as the pairs of legs 11 and 12 of the bottom 3 of the cap body 1, each tab 26 having a smooth internal face and an external face provided with a bead 27.

L'ensemble coiffe/bec 2 est réalisé d'une seule pièce par moulage, le bec 16 étant relié à la coiffe 15 uniquement par les ponts 25.The cap / spout 2 assembly is made in one piece by molding, the spout 16 being connected to the cap 15 only by the bridges 25.

Après fabrication séparée du corps de bouchon 1, d'une part, et de l'ensemble coiffe/bec 2, d'autre part, on relie entre elles les deux pièces en fixant l'ensemble coiffe/bec 2 par encliquetage sur le corps de bouchon 1, les pattes 26 du fond 17 de la coiffe 15 venant s'encliqueter entre les paires de pattes 11, 12 du fond 3 du corps de bouchon 1. Les languettes 10 du fond 3 du corps de bouchon 1 ont pour fonction de maintenir la jupe 18 de la coiffe 15 alignées avec la jupe 4 du corps de bouchon 1.After separate manufacture of the plug body 1, on the one hand, and of the cap / spout 2 assembly, on the other hand, the two parts are connected together by fixing the cap / spout 2 assembly by snapping onto the body plug 1, the tabs 26 at the bottom 17 of the cap 15 snap between the pairs of tabs 11, 12 at the bottom 3 of the plug body 1. The tabs 10 at the bottom 3 of the plug body 1 have the function of keep the skirt 18 of the cap 15 aligned with the skirt 4 of the plug body 1.

Lors de cette fixation par encliquetage de l'ensemble coiffe/bec 2 sur le corps de bouchon 1, les tourillons 24 du bec 16 s'engagent par encliquetage dans les paliers 9 du corps de bouchon 1.During this snap-fastening of the cap / spout 2 assembly on the plug body 1, the pins 24 of the spout 16 engage by snap-fastening in the bearings 9 of the plug body 1.

Le corps de bouchon 1 avec l'ensemble coiffe/bec 2 qui s'y trouve fixé peut ensuite être monté sur le goulot d'un flacon conte­nant un produit liquide ou pâteux à distribuer.The cap body 1 with the cap / spout assembly 2 which is attached thereto can then be mounted on the neck of a bottle containing a liquid or pasty product to be dispensed.

Dans la position représentée du bec 16, les ponts 25 non rompus sont la preuve que le bouchon n'a pas encore subi d'ouverture ou de tentative d' ouverture.In the represented position of the spout 16, the unbroken bridges 25 are proof that the stopper has not yet been opened or attempted to open.

Pour ouvrir le bouchon en vue de distribuer le produit liquide ou pâteux contenu dans le flacon, on soulève l'extrémité extérieure du bec 16 à l'aide d'un doigt, ce qui provoque une rupture des ponts 25 et permet alors au bec 16 de pivoter vers le haut jusque dans une position sensiblement verticale, dans laquelle le canal 22 du bec 16 se trouve aligné avec le trou de passage 7 du fond 3 du corps de bouchon 1. Dans cette position du bec 16, l'espace intérieur du flacon communique donc avec l'extérieur par le trou 7 et le canal 22, ce qui permet de distribuer par le bec 16 le produit contenu dans le flacon.To open the stopper for dispensing the liquid or pasty product contained in the bottle, the outer end of the spout 16 is lifted with a finger, which breaks the bridges 25 and then allows the spout 16 to pivot upwards into a substantially vertical position, in which the channel 22 of the spout 16 is aligned with the through hole 7 of the bottom 3 of the plug body 1. In this position of the spout 16, the interior space of the the bottle therefore communicates with the outside through the hole 7 and the channel 22, which allows the product contained in the bottle to be distributed through the spout 16.

Pour refermer ensuite le bouchon, on ramène le bec 16 par pivotement dans la position selon la figure 1, dans laquelle le bec 16 est sensiblement horizontal, de sorte que le trou 7 ne communique plus avec le canal 22, mais est au contraire obturé de façon étanche par l'extrémité en segment de cylindre 23 du bec 16.To then close the cap, the spout 16 is brought back by pivoting into the position according to FIG. 1, in which the spout 16 is substantially horizontal, so that the hole 7 does not communicate no longer with the channel 22, but is on the contrary closed in a leaktight manner by the cylinder segment end 23 of the spout 16.

Le corps de bouchon 1, d'une part, et l'ensemble coiffe/bec 2 d'une part, peuvent être réalisés avantageusement en des matières plastiques différentes. Il est préférable d'utiliser une matière plus dure telle que le polypropylène pour le corps de bouchon 1 et une matière plus souple telle que par exemple le polyéthylène basse densité pour l'ensemble coiffe/bec 2. Cela non seulement améliore l'étanchéité entre l'extrémité en segment de cylindre 23 du bec 16 et la portée 8 de forme correspondante sur le corps de bouchon 1, mais facilite également la déchirure des ponts 25 entre le bec 16 et la coiffe 15. Les deux pièces 1 et 2 peuvent être réalisées soit dans la même couleur, soit dans des couleurs différentes.The plug body 1, on the one hand, and the cap / spout assembly 2 on the one hand, can advantageously be made of different plastics. It is preferable to use a harder material such as polypropylene for the cap body 1 and a softer material such as for example low density polyethylene for the cap / spout assembly 2. This not only improves the seal between the end in cylinder segment 23 of the spout 16 and the bearing 8 of corresponding shape on the plug body 1, but also facilitates the tearing of the bridges 25 between the spout 16 and the cap 15. The two parts 1 and 2 can be made either in the same color or in different colors.

Le bouchon selon les figures 5 et 6 diffère du bouchon suivant les figures 1 à 4 essentiellement par le fait qu'un ensemble palette pivotante/coiffe 102 est rapporté par encliquetage sur un corps de bouchon 101.The stopper according to FIGS. 5 and 6 differs from the stopper according to FIGS. 1 to 4 essentially by the fact that a pivoting pallet / cover assembly 102 is attached by snap-fastening to a stopper body 101.

Le corps de bouchon 101 comprend un fond 103 et une jupe 104 présentant plusieurs plots intérieurs 105 pour la fixation par encliquetage du corps de bouchon 101 sur un goulot de flacon. La jupe 104 de faible épaisseur est renforcée par des nervures intérieures 106.The stopper body 101 includes a bottom 103 and a skirt 104 having several internal studs 105 for snap-fastening of the stopper body 101 to a bottle neck. The thin skirt 104 is reinforced by internal ribs 106.

L'étanchéité entre le corps de bouchon 101 et le goulot du flacon est assurée par un épaulement 108 entre la jupe 104 et le fond 103, un joint d'étanchéité pouvant éventuellement être rapporté entre le goulot et l'épaulement 108.The seal between the cap body 101 and the neck of the bottle is ensured by a shoulder 108 between the skirt 104 and the bottom 103, a seal that can optionally be added between the neck and the shoulder 108.

Le fond 103 est muni, en position excentrée, d'un trou de passage 107.The bottom 103 is provided, in the eccentric position, with a through hole 107.

Dans une position excentrée en opposition au trou 107, le fond 103 porte, sur le dessus, deux paliers 109 à axes horizontaux alignés, ouverts vers le haut.In an eccentric position in opposition to the hole 107, the bottom 103 carries, on the top, two bearings 109 with aligned horizontal axes, open upwards.

Par ailleurs, le fond 103 porte des languettes 110 comparables aux languettes 10 selon les figures 1 et 3, et des paires de pattes 111, 112 correspondant aux paires de pattes 11 et 12 des figures 1 et 3, les pattes 112 comportant, dans leur face intérieure, une rainure horizontale 113.Furthermore, the bottom 103 carries tongues 110 comparable to the tongues 10 according to FIGS. 1 and 3, and pairs of legs 111, 112 corresponding to the pairs of legs 11 and 12 of FIGS. 1 and 3, the legs 112 having, in their inside face, a horizontal groove 113.

L'ensemble coiffe/palette pivotantes 102 rapporté sur le corps de bouchon 101 est formé d'une coiffe 115 et d'une palette pivotante 116, les deux parties étant réalisées d'une seule pièce par moulage.The swivel cap / pallet assembly 102 attached to the plug body 101 is formed by a cap 115 and a swivel pallet 116, the two parts being produced in one piece by molding.

La coiffe 115 présente une forme générale en godet, avec un fond 117 plat et une jupe 118 s'étendant vers le bas.The cap 115 has a general bucket shape, with a flat bottom 117 and a skirt 118 extending downward.

Comme le montre le figure 6, le fond 117 comporte un évidement rectangulaire 119 excentré et une échancrure radiale 120 s'étendant depuis ledit évidement 119 jusqu'au bord opposé de la coiffe 115. La palette 116 est disposée dans ledit évidement 119 et ladite échan­crure 120.As shown in Figure 6, the bottom 117 has a rectangular recess 119 eccentric and a radial notch 120 extending from said recess 119 to the opposite edge of the cap 115. The pallet 116 is disposed in said recess 119 and said notch 120.

Comme le montre surtout la figure 6, la palette 116 comporte, au voisinage de son extrémité intérieure, deux tourillons latéraux opposés 124 dont les axes horizontaux sont alignés. La palette 116 est reliée au fond 117 de la coiffe 115, dans le plan de la face supérieure du fond 117 et de la palette 116, par plusieurs ponts de matière disposés entre les deux bords latéraux de la palette 116 et les bords en regard de l'échancrure 120, en étant répartis sur la longueur de l'échancrure 120.As shown especially in FIG. 6, the pallet 116 comprises, in the vicinity of its inner end, two opposite lateral pins 124 whose horizontal axes are aligned. The pallet 116 is connected to the bottom 117 of the cover 115, in the plane of the upper face of the bottom 117 and of the pallet 116, by several bridges of material arranged between the two lateral edges of the pallet 116 and the edges opposite the notch 120, being distributed over the length of the notch 120.

Il apparaît sur la figure 5 que la palette 116 porte sur sa face inférieure un téton 122 qui, dans la position représentée, est enfoncé dans le trou 107 du fond 103 et obture ledit trou.It appears in Figure 5 that the pallet 116 carries on its underside a stud 122 which, in the position shown, is pressed into the hole 107 of the bottom 103 and closes said hole.

Enfin, on reconnaît sur la figure 5 que la coiffe 115 porte des pattes 126 correspondant aux pattes 26 suivant les figures 1 et 3 et coopérant avec les pattes 111 et 112 en vue de la fixation par encliquetage de la coiffe sur le corps de bouchon.Finally, it is recognized in FIG. 5 that the cap 115 carries lugs 126 corresponding to the lugs 26 according to FIGS. 1 and 3 and cooperating with the lugs 111 and 112 for the purpose of snap-fastening of the cap on the plug body.

L'ensemble coiffe/palette 102 est réalisé d'une seule pièce par moulage, la palette 116 étant reliée à la coiffe 115 uniquement par les ponts 125 qui servent de moyen d'inviolabilité tout comme les ponts 25 dans le mode de réalisation des figures 1 à 4.The cap / pallet assembly 102 is made in one piece by molding, the pallet 116 being connected to the cap 115 only by the bridges 125 which serve as a tamper-evident means, just like the bridges 25 in the embodiment of the figures. 1 to 4.

Pour ouvrir le bouchon, on soulève l'extrémité de la palette 116 opposée au tourillon 124 à l'aide d'un doigt, ce qui est facilité par un chanfrein 114 du corps de bouchon 101. Ce soulèvement qui provoque immédiatement une rupture des ponts 25 dégage le téton 122 de la palette 116 du trou 107 du fond 103. Il est donc ainsi possible de distribuer par le trou 107 le produit liquide ou pâteux contenu à l'intérieur du flacon, en particulier en retournant le flacon.To open the stopper, the end of the pallet 116 opposite the journal 124 is raised using a finger, which is facilitated by a chamfer 114 of the stopper body 101. This lifting which immediately causes the bridges to break 25 releases the stud 122 from the pallet 116 from the hole 107 in the bottom 103. It is therefore possible to distribute through hole 107 the liquid or pasty product contained inside the bottle, in particular by inverting the bottle.

Il va de soi que les modes de réalisation illustrés et décrits n'ont été donnés qu'à titre d'exemples indicatifs et de nombreuses modifications et variantes sont possibles dans le cadre de l'inven­tion.It goes without saying that the embodiments illustrated and described have been given only by way of indicative examples and numerous modifications and variants are possible within the scope of the invention.

Ainsi, la fixation du corps de bouchon sur le goulot d'un flacon ou récipient analogue pourrait se faire également par exemple par vissage plutôt que par encliquetage.Thus, the fixing of the cap body on the neck of a bottle or similar container could also be done for example by screwing rather than by snap-fastening.

Par ailleurs, dans le mode de réalisation des figures 1 à 4, l'extrémité intérieure du bec 16, au lieu de présenter une forme en segment de cylindre 23, pourrait également présenter par exemple une forme en segment de sphère, la portée 8 du corps de moule 1 présen­tant une forme sphérique correspondante.Furthermore, in the embodiment of Figures 1 to 4, the inner end of the spout 16, instead of having a cylinder segment shape 23, could also have for example a sphere segment shape, the scope 8 of the mold body 1 having a corresponding spherical shape.
