Description

La présente invention porte sur une capsule de bouchage d'un récipient, qui est équipée de moyens basculants pour la distribution de la substance conte­nue dans ledit récipient.The present invention relates to a closure cap for a container, which is equipped with tilting means for dispensing the substance contained in said container.

Les capsules de bouchage de ce type, qui s'adaptent, par exemple par vissage, sur le col de flacons renfermant la substance distribuer, sont utilisées pour permettre de distribuer une dose de ladite substance suivant un jet ou un écoulement rela­tivement fin, ce qui ne serait pas le cas si l'on retirait la capsule en raison de la grande section du col. De telles capsules trouvent application par exemple dans la distribution de shampooings.The closure caps of this type, which are adapted, for example by screwing, on the neck of bottles containing the substance to be dispensed, are used to enable a dose of said substance to be dispensed according to a relatively fine jet or flow, which would not be the case if the capsule was removed due to the large section of the neck. Such capsules find application for example in the distribution of shampoos.

On connaît une capsule de ce type, qui comprend une jupe latérale raccordée à un fond dans lequel est pratiquée une ouverture centrale de sortie, laquelle débouche dans la base d'une zone en creux délimitée par deux ailes latérales en regard, qui sont perpendiculaires au plan moyen dudit fond, et qui s'étendent depuis la région centrale dudit fond com­portant l'ouverture de sortie jusqu'au voisinage de sa bordure. Un élément traversé par un canal est monté basculant dans cette zone en creux, entre une position rabattue de bouchage où il occupe sensiblement cette zone en creux et où l'orifice de sortie est obturé, et une position relevée de distribution où le canal précité se trouve en communication directe avec l'ouverture de sortie. A cet effet, l'élément bascu­lant porte des tourillons latéraux tournant dans des logements débouchant dans les ailes, dans la région centrale du fond. Pour effectuer cette manoeuvre de basculement, l'utilisateur doit soulever une languette dépassant très légèrement de la bordure du fond de la capsule ; cette manoeuvre, devant être effectuée avec l'ongle, n'est pas toujours aisée. Mais un des inconvénients majeurs de ce dispositif provient sur­tout du fait que le canal de distribution est inclus dans l'élément obturateur de la capsule. Le moulage de cet élément est dès lors relativement compliqué.A capsule of this type is known, which comprises a lateral skirt connected to a bottom in which a central outlet opening is formed, which opens into the base of a hollow zone delimited by two opposite lateral wings, which are perpendicular to the mean plane of said bottom, and which extend from the central region of said bottom comprising the outlet opening to the vicinity of its border. An element traversed by a channel is mounted tilting in this hollow zone, between a closed stopper position where it substantially occupies this hollow zone and where the outlet orifice is closed, and a raised distribution position where the aforementioned channel is in direct communication with the outlet opening. For this purpose, the tilting element carries lateral pins rotating in housings opening into the wings, in the central region of the bottom. To perform this tilting maneuver, the user must lift a tongue protruding very slightly from the edge of the bottom of the capsule; this maneuver, which must be carried out with the nail, is not always easy. But one of the major drawbacks of this device comes mainly from the fact that the distribution channel is included in the closure element of the capsule. The molding of this element is therefore relatively complicated.

On a proposé également, conformément à US-­A-3 516 581, une capsule de bouchage dont le fond com­porte une cheminée de sortie de la substance à distri­buer, cette cheminée se situant dans une zone en creux délimitée par deux ailes en regard et s'étendant sen­siblement d'une extrémité à l'autre du fond. Cette zone en creux reçoit un obturateur basculant compor­tant une ouverture inférieure d'entrée du liquide bordée par une jupe s'adaptant sur l'extrémité de la cheminée précitée, cette ouverture constituant l'entrée d'un canal formé dans une partie avant dudit obturateur, ledit obturateur ayant la même structure d'ensemble que l'élément basculant du mode de réalisation précédent. L'obturateur comporte une par­tie arrière constituant un organe de commande de bas­culement, et portant, à cet effet, deux tourillons latéraux tournant dans des logements pratiqués dans les deux ailes en regard, qui délimitent la zone en creux du fond de la capsule. La commande de bascule­ment s'effectue donc par appui du doigt sur la plaque supérieure de cette partie arrière ce qui est un avan­tage par rapport à la réalisation précédente ; toutefois, l'inconvénient majeur de cet obturateur est le même que ci-dessus indiqué. La réalisation con­forme à US-A-4 645 086 est sensiblement analogue et comporte les mêmes inconvénients.It has also been proposed, in accordance with US-A-3,516,581, a closure cap, the bottom of which has a chimney for the outlet of the substance to be dispensed, this chimney being located in a hollow zone delimited by two facing wings and s 'extending substantially from one end to the other of the bottom. This recessed area receives a tilting shutter comprising a lower liquid inlet opening bordered by a skirt fitting onto the end of the aforementioned chimney, this opening constituting the inlet of a channel formed in a front part of said shutter , said shutter having the same overall structure as the tilting element of the previous embodiment. The shutter has a rear part constituting a tilting control member, and carrying, for this purpose, two lateral pins rotating in housings made in the two facing wings, which delimit the hollow area of the bottom of the capsule. The tilting control is therefore carried out by pressing the finger on the upper plate of this rear part, which is an advantage compared to the previous embodiment; however, the major drawback of this shutter is the same as above. The embodiment according to US-A-4 645 086 is substantially similar and has the same drawbacks.

La présente invention a pour but de remédier aux inconvénients précités de l'état antérieur de la technique. A cet effet, on prévoit, selon l'invention, que l'obturateur basculant soit constitué par un élément ouvert sur sa longueur, ledit élément coopérant avec la partie fixée sur l'embouchure de sortie du récipient (ou adaptateur), pour définir avec elle, en position d'ouverture, un canal de sortie de la substance hors du récipient.The present invention aims to remedy the aforementioned drawbacks of the prior art. To this end, provision is made, according to the invention, for the tilting shutter to be constituted by a element open along its length, said element cooperating with the part fixed on the outlet mouth of the container (or adapter), to define with it, in the open position, an outlet channel for the substance out of the container.

Lorsqu'on referme l'obturateur basculant, il vient se positionner sur l'adaptateur, ce qui fait disparaître le canal de sortie. Ainsi, le canal de sortie n'est plus à mouler sur une des deux pièces de la capsule mais est formé, en position d'ouverture, par coopération de l'adaptateur et de l'obturateur.When the tilting shutter is closed, it is positioned on the adapter, which makes the outlet channel disappear. Thus, the outlet channel is no longer to be molded on one of the two parts of the capsule but is formed, in the open position, by cooperation of the adapter and the shutter.

La présente invention a donc pour objet le produit industriel nouveau que constitue une capsule de bouchage d'un récipient, adaptée pour permettre la distribution de la substance sans qu'il soit nécessaire de la retirer du récipient, ladite capsule comprenant un organe adaptateur qui comporte un man­chon destiné s'adapter sur l'embouchure dudit récipient et raccordé à un fond sur lequel est formée une zone en creux délimitée par une base et par deux ailes en regard l'une de l'autre, un orifice de sortie de la substance étant formé dans ladite base, ladite zone en creux recevant un organe obturateur basculable d'une position d'obturation dudit orifice de sortie à une position de distribution dans laquelle ledit ori­fice est libéré, caractérisée par le fait que ledit organe obturateur comporte une paroi tubulaire présentant une ouverture en vis-à-vis du fond, ledit fond comportant des moyens complémentaires de ladite paroi tubulaire pour délimiter un canal de sortie de la substance en position de distribution dudit organe obturateur, et pour s'adapter sur ladite paroi tubu­laire en position d'obturation de l'organe obturateur.A subject of the present invention is therefore the new industrial product which constitutes a closure cap for a container, adapted to allow the distribution of the substance without it being necessary to remove it from the container, said capsule comprising an adapter member which comprises a sleeve intended to adapt to the mouth of said container and connected to a bottom on which is formed a hollow area delimited by a base and by two wings facing each other, an outlet for the substance being formed in said base, said recessed area receiving a tiltable shutter member from a shutter position of said outlet orifice to a dispensing position in which said orifice is released, characterized in that said shutter member comprises a tubular wall having an opening facing the bottom, said bottom comprising means complementary to said tubular wall for delimiting an outlet channel tie of the substance in the dispensing position of said shutter member, and to adapt to said tubular wall in the shutter position of the shutter member.

Conformément à un mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, la base de la zone en creux est constituée par deux platines séparées par un décrochement à savoir une platine supérieure avant, dans laquelle est pratiqué l'orifice de sortie de la substance et une platine inférieure arrière, l'organe obturateur étant constitué par une plaque de base, ledit organe obturateur comportant d'une part, une partie avant avec des moyens d'obturation de l'orifice dudit organe adaptateur, ainsi que la paroi tubulaire destinée à constituer le canal de sortie de la sub­stance, et, d'autre part, une partie arrière consti­tuant le volet de manoeuvre dudit organe obturateur basculant et portant latéralement des moyens d'articulation disposés selon un axe transversal, moy­ens d'articulation qui coopèrent avec des parties complémentaires portées par ledit organe adaptateur.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the base of the recessed area is formed by two plates separated by a recess, namely an upper front plate, in which the outlet opening for the substance is made and a rear lower plate, the shutter member being constituted by a base plate, said shutter member comprising on the one hand, a front part with means for closing the orifice of said adapter member, as well as the tubular wall intended to constitute the outlet channel for the substance, and, on the other hand, a rear part constituting the operating flap of said tilting shutter member and carrying laterally articulation means arranged along a transverse axis, articulation means which cooperate with complementary parts carried by said adapter member.

Le décrochement peut être perpendiculaire à l'axe de symétrie de ladite zone en creux tandis que l'organe obturateur porte une languette transversale inférieure ayant une bordure arrondie pour coopérer avec ledit décrochement, ladite languette partageant ledit organe obturateur entre la partie avant et la partie arrière.The recess can be perpendicular to the axis of symmetry of said recessed area while the shutter member carries a lower transverse tongue having a rounded edge to cooperate with said recess, said tongue sharing said shutter member between the front part and the part back.

En particulier, la partie avant de l'organe obturateur comporte, de part et d'autre de la plaque de base, avantageusement deux ailes latérales suscep­tibles de pénétrer chacune dans une gorge latérale formée entre l'une des ailes et la platine supérieure avant, les deux ailes définissant avec la plaque de base de la partie avant, la paroi tubulaire, qui délimite partiellement le canal de sortie dans la position de distribution de l'organe obturateur, les deux ailes se positionnant totalement dans les gorges latérales dans la position d'obturation de l'organe obturateur, pour permettre la mise en appui de la plaque de base sur la platine supérieure avant, mais n'étant que partiellement extraites desdites gorges dans la position de distribution de l'organe obturateur.In particular, the front part of the shutter member comprises, on either side of the base plate, advantageously two lateral wings capable of each entering a lateral groove formed between one of the wings and the upper front plate, the two wings defining with the base plate of the front part, the tubular wall, which partially delimits the outlet channel in the distribution position of the obturating member, the two wings being positioned completely in the lateral grooves in the position d shutter of the shutter member, to allow the support of the base plate on the upper front plate, but being only partially extracted from said grooves in the dispensing position of the member shutter.

De même, on peut prévoir que la partie arrière de l'organe obturateur porte, de chaque côté, un tourillon destiné à être reçu dans un logement cylindrique débouchant dans chaque aile au droit de la platine arrière, afin de constituer les moyens d'articulation dudit organe obturateur. Chacun de ces logements peut s'ouvrir dans la paroi supérieure du fond de façon à présenter, vu en élévation, la forme d'un oméga. Cette disposition facilite la mise en place de l'organe obturateur lors du montage.Likewise, provision can be made for the rear part of the shutter member to carry, on each side, a pin intended to be received in a cylindrical housing opening into each wing in line with the rear plate, in order to constitute the articulation means. said shutter member. Each of these housings can open in the upper wall of the bottom so as to have, seen in elevation, the shape of an omega. This arrangement facilitates the installation of the shutter member during assembly.

Conformément à des modes de réalisation par­ticuliers de la capsule de bouchage selon l'invention, les deux ailes sont disposées selon des plans sensi­blement parallèles à l'axe du manchon, lesdits plans convergeant l'un vers l'autre en direction de la pla­tine avant de ladite capsule ; le fond comporte, à l'intérieur du manchon, une jupe d'étanchéité pénétrant dans l'embouchure de sortie du récipient ; le manchon comporte des renflements internes disposés sur une zone annulaire au voisinage de sa bordure inférieure, et constituant des moyens d'encliquetage de l'organe adaptateur sous un jonc annulaire porté par le récipient, ledit manchon comportant également des ailettes radiales de positionnement dudit organe adaptateur sur l'extrémité dudit récipient ; enfin, le fond porte extérieurement une jupe externe d'habillage, qui entoure le manchon.In accordance with particular embodiments of the closure cap according to the invention, the two wings are arranged in planes substantially parallel to the axis of the sleeve, said planes converging towards each other in the direction of the front plate. of said capsule; the bottom comprises, inside the sleeve, a sealing skirt penetrating into the outlet mouth of the container; the sleeve has internal bulges arranged on an annular zone in the vicinity of its lower edge, and constituting means for latching of the adapter member under an annular rod carried by the container, said sleeve also comprising radial fins for positioning said member adapter on the end of said container; finally, the bottom externally wears an external covering skirt, which surrounds the sleeve.

Selon l'un des modes de réalisation, l'orifice de l'organe adaptateur est bordé extérieurement par une cheminée et les moyens d'obturation dudit orifice sont alors constitués par une gorge qui est formée dans celle des faces de la plaque de base de la partie avant de l'organe obtura­teur qui est en regard de la platine avant, ladite gorge recevant de façon étanche la bordure libre de la cheminée dans la position d'obturation de l'organe obturateur.According to one of the embodiments, the orifice of the adapter member is bordered externally by a chimney and the means for closing said orifice are then constituted by a groove which is formed in that of the faces of the base plate of the front part of the shutter member which faces the front plate, said groove sealingly receiving the free edge of the chimney in the closed position of the shutter member.

Selon un autre mode de réalisation, l'orifice de l'organe adaptateur débouche sur le fond d'une cavité sensiblement cylindrique creusée perpen­diculairement dans la platine supérieure avant.According to another embodiment, the orifice of the adapter member opens onto the bottom of a substantially cylindrical cavity hollowed out perpendicularly in the upper front plate.

Selon une première possibilité, la cavité admet une directrice ayant une forme sensiblement rec­tangulaire dont les longueurs sont sensiblement parallèles au plan bissecteur des deux gorges latérales et sont disposées symétriquement par rapport à ce plan ; les largeurs de la directrice sensiblement rectangulaire de la cavité sont délimitées par deux arcs de cercle, l'arc de cercle à l'avant de la pla­tine étant positionné tangentiellement à la paroi en arc de cercle constituant le rebord du capot d'habillage, l'arc de cercle à l'arrière de la platine venant s'appuyer tangentiellement sur une ligne reli­ant les parois arrière des gorges latérales ; le moyen d'obturation de la cavité est une ailette dont la base est une courbe fermée, ladite ailette étant formée sur celle des faces de la plaque de la partie avant de l'organe obturateur qui est en regard de la platine avant et épousant en position d'obturation la forme des parois de la cavité, sur toute la profondeur de ladite cavité le long des longueurs et de l'arc de cercle arrière, et seulement sur une petite profondeur le long de l'arc de cercle avant, de sorte que, en position d'ouverture, la partie avant de l'ailette laisse apparaître un cadre vide.According to a first possibility, the cavity admits a director having a substantially rectangular shape whose lengths are substantially parallel to the bisector plane of the two lateral grooves and are arranged symmetrically with respect to this plane; the widths of the substantially rectangular director of the cavity are delimited by two arcs of a circle, the arc of a circle at the front of the plate being positioned tangentially to the wall in an arc of a circle constituting the edge of the covering hood, l 'arc of circle at the rear of the plate coming to bear tangentially on a line connecting the rear walls of the lateral grooves; the means for closing off the cavity is a fin, the base of which is a closed curve, said fin being formed on that of the faces of the plate of the front part of the shutter member which faces the front plate and conforms to closing position the shape of the walls of the cavity, over the entire depth of the said cavity along the lengths and of the rear arc, and only over a small depth along the front arc, so that, in the open position, the front part of the fin reveals an empty frame.

Selon une autre possibilité, la cavité sen­siblement cylindrique a une section circulaire et le moyen d'obturation de cette cavité est formé par un manchon cylindrique, prévu en saillie vers le bas sous la partie avant de l'organe obturateur, ce manchon étant propre à s'engager de manière étanche dans la cavité cylindrique, et comportant, vers l'avant une fenêtre dans sa paroi cylindrique pour le passage du produit.According to another possibility, the substantially cylindrical cavity has a circular section and the means for closing this cavity is formed by a cylindrical sleeve, provided projecting downwards under the front part of the obturator member, this sleeve being suitable for sealingly engage in the cylindrical cavity, and comprising, towards the front, a window in its cylindrical wall for the passage of the product.

La paroi de la cavité est avantageusement tangente à l'extrémité avant de l'organe adaptateur tandis que la fenêtre débouche pratiquement en bordure avant dudit organe obturateur, à l'extérieur, dans le sens radial, de l'embouchure du récipient. L'orifice de sortie de la substance, prévu dans le fond de la cavité, est situé dans la partie arrière de cette cavité, radialement à l'intérieur de l'embouchure du récipient. La fenêtre a, de préférence, une forme sen­siblement rectangulaire et l'ensemble est tel qu'en position de distribution de l'organe obturateur, une bordure située au-dessous de la fenêtre reste engagée, au moins en partie, dans la cavité.The wall of the cavity is advantageously tangent to the front end of the adapter member while the window opens out practically at the front edge of said obturator member, outside, in the radial direction, of the mouth of the container. The outlet for the substance, provided in the bottom of the cavity, is located in the rear part of this cavity, radially inside the mouth of the container. The window preferably has a substantially rectangular shape and the assembly is such that in the position of distribution of the shutter member, a border situated below the window remains engaged, at least in part, in the cavity.

La présente invention porte également sur un récipient obturé par la capsule de bouchage telle qu'elle vient d'être définie.The present invention also relates to a container closed by the closure cap as it has just been defined.

En se référant aux figures 1 à 10 représentant un premier mode de réalisation, on voit que l'on a désigné par 1 un flacon ou récipient équipé d'une capsule de distribution 2 conforme à la présente invention ; cette capsule est réalisée en deux par­ties, à savoir un adaptateur 3 constituant une partie venant se fixer sur le flacon 1, et un obturateur 4 constituant une partie qui est mobile entre une posi­tion d'obturation du flacon 1 (figure 2) et une posi­tion de distribution de la substance que ce dernier contient (figures 3 et 4).Referring to Figures 1 to 10 showing a first embodiment, it can be seen that there has been designated by 1 a bottle or container equipped with a dispensing cap 2 according to the present invention; this capsule is produced in two parts, namely an adapter 3 constituting a part which is fixed on the bottle 1, and a shutter 4 constituting a part which is movable between a closed position of the bottle 1 (FIG. 2) and a position distribution of the substance that the latter contains (Figures 3 and 4).

Le flacon 1, réalisé par exemple en matière plastique, comprend un corps 5 se raccordant à un col 6 par un épaulement 7. Le col 6 porte extérieurement, au voisinage de l'épaulement 7, un jonc annulaire 8 pour la retenue de l'adaptateur 3.The bottle 1, made for example of plastic material, comprises a body 5 which is connected to a neck 6 by a shoulder 7. The neck 6 carries externally, in the vicinity of the shoulder 7, an annular ring 8 for retaining the adapter 3.

L'adaptateur 3, également réalisé en matière plastique, est constitué par un manchon cylindrique 9 et par un capot d'habillage 10, qui sont coaxiaux et raccordés par un fond 11. Le manchon cylindrique 9 dépasse, par sa base, du capot d'habillage 10, et il comporte intérieurement, dans la partie qui fait sail­lie hors dudit capot 10, des renflements 12, régulièrement espacés l'un de l'autre et disposés dans un même plan diamétral dudit manchon 9. Ces renfle­ments 12 sont destinés à venir s'encliqueter sous le jonc 8 du flacon 1 lors de la mise en place de l'adaptateur 3 sur ce dernier. Le manchon 9 comporte intérieurement trois ailettes radiales de positionne­ment, à savoir une ailette longue 13 disposée dans un plan perpendiculaire au plan de symétrie de l'adaptateur 3, et deux ailettes courtes 14, qui sont disposées à 120° de l'ailette 13. Les ailettes 13 et 14 ont leur extrémité inférieure chanfreinée, ce qui facilite le guidage en translation de l'adaptateur 3, lors de sa mise en place sur le goulot 6 du flacon 1.The adapter 3, also made of plastic, consists of a cylindrical sleeve 9 and a covering cover 10, which are coaxial and connected by a bottom 11. The cylindrical sleeve 9 protrudes, by its base, from the cover d 'covering 10, and it includes internally, in the part which projects out of said cover 10, bulges 12, regularly spaced from one another and arranged in the same diametral plane of said sleeve 9. These bulges 12 are intended for snap under the rod 8 of the bottle 1 when the adapter 3 is placed on the latter. The sleeve 9 has internally three radial positioning fins, namely a long fin 13 arranged in a plane perpendicular to the plane of symmetry of the adapter 3, and two short fins 14, which are arranged at 120 ° from the fin 13. The fins 13 and 14 have their chamfered lower end, which facilitates the guiding in translation of the adapter 3, when it is placed on the neck 6 of the bottle 1.

La bordure sensiblement circulaire du fond 11 est repliée pour constituer la zone périphérique de raccordement avec le capot d'habillage 10 ; le fond 11 présente, formée sur sa partie supérieure, une zone en creux 15 délimitée par deux ailes latérales 16 disposées face à face, symétriquement et en oblique par rapport à un plan diamétral de l'adaptateur 3. Entre les deux ailes 36, le fond 11 comporte un décrochement 17 disposé selon le plan axial perpendi­culaire au plan de symétrie précité, qui divise ledit fond 11 en une platine supérieure 18 dans la région (avant) où les deux ailes se rapprochent, et une pla­tine inférieure 19, dans la région (arrière) où les deux ailes 16 s'écartent. Le décrochement 17 présente un profil sensiblement en quart de cercle. A leurs extrémités avant et arrière, les deux ailes 16 sont réunies par des parois en arc de cercle 20 et 21, con­stituant dans les deux cas un rebord du capot d'habillage 10 dans cette région. Le rebord 20 est de plus faible hauteur que le rebord 21.The substantially circular edge of the bottom 11 is folded back to form the peripheral connection zone with the covering cover 10; the bottom 11 has, formed on its upper part, a hollow zone 15 delimited by two lateral wings 16 arranged face to face, symmetrically and obliquely with respect to a diametral plane of the adapter 3. Between the two wings 36, the base 11 has a recess 17 disposed along the axial plane perpendicular to the aforementioned plane of symmetry, which divides said base 11 into an upper plate 18 in the region (front) where the two wings come together, and a lower plate 19, in the region (rear) where the two wings 16 move apart. The recess 17 has a profile substantially in a quarter circle. At their front and rear ends, the two wings 16 are joined by walls in a circular arc 20 and 21, constituting in both cases a rim of the covering hood 10 in this region. The rim 20 is of lower height than the rim 21.

La platine 19 comporte un orifice circulaire 22 dont l'axe appartient au plan de symétrie de l'adaptateur 3, et qui se situe à peu près à mi-­distance entre le rebord avant 20 et le décrochement 17. Par ailleurs, comme on peut le voir sur les figures 4 et 6, de part et d'autre de l'orifice 22, et entre le rebord avant 20 et le voisinage du décrochement 17, la paroi de la platine 19 est repliée, le long de chacune des ailes 16, pour consti­tuer une gorge en U 24 dont le rôle est indiqué plus loin.The plate 19 has a circular orifice 22 whose axis belongs to the plane of symmetry of the adapter 3, and which is located approximately halfway between the front edge 20 and the recess 17. Furthermore, as can be see in Figures 4 and 6, on either side of the orifice 22, and between the front edge 20 and the vicinity of the recess 17, the wall of the plate 19 is folded, along each of the wings 16 , to form a U-shaped groove 24, the role of which is indicated below.

Il est par ailleurs ménagé, dans l'épaisseur du fond 11, entre les ailes 16 et la zone arrondie 21 de raccordement avec le capot d'habillage 10, des logements 25 débouchant à la fois dans la face supérieure du fond 11 et dans les ailes 16. Chacun de ces logements 25 a, dans le plan de l'aile 16, une forme d'oméga : il est donc délimité par une paroi cylindrique 26 débouchant dans ladite aile 16 et s'ouvrant dans la partie supérieure du fond 11, selon deux plans inclinés 27, qui s'évasent vers l'extérieur.It is also formed, in the thickness of the bottom 11, between the wings 16 and the rounded area 21 of connection with the covering cover 10, housings 25 opening both into the upper face of the bottom 11 and into the wings 16. Each of these housings 25 has, in the plane of the wing 16, a shape of omega: it is therefore delimited by a cylindrical wall 26 opening into said wing 16 and opening in the upper part of the bottom 11, along two inclined planes 27, which flare outwards.

Enfin, le fond 11 comporte intérieurement une jupe cylindrique d'étanchéité 28, destinée à pénétrer dans l'embouchure du col 6 du flacon 1, pour assurer l'étanchéité quand l'adaptateur 3 est en place sur le flacon 1. La jupe 28 se trouve raccordée aussi bien à la platine 18 qu'à la platine 19, si bien qu'elle présente une hauteur variable, sa bordure inférieure se situant dans un plan perpendiculaire à l'axe du manchon 9 ; ladite bordure inférieure est chanfreinée, pour faciliter la mise en place de l'adaptateur 3 sur le flacon 1.Finally, the bottom 11 has internally a cylindrical sealing skirt 28, intended to penetrate into the mouth of the neck 6 of the bottle 1, to ensure sealing when the adapter 3 is in place on the bottle 1. The skirt 28 is connected to both the plate 18 and the plate 19, so that it has a variable height, its lower edge lying in a plane perpendicular to the axis of the sleeve 9; said lower edge is chamfered, to facilitate the positioning of the adapter 3 on the bottle 1.

Comme indiqué ci-dessus, le capot d'habillage 10 se raccorde au fond 11 par une zone arrondie ; il présente une forme d'ensemble légèrement renflée dans sa partie médiane.As indicated above, the covering hood 10 is connected to the bottom 11 by a rounded zone; it presents an overall shape slightly swollen in its middle part.

L'organe obturateur 4, qui est représenté notamment sur les figures 8 à 10, est une pièce qui est également obtenue, de façon simple par moulage d'une matière plastique. Il est constitué par une plaque de base 29 destinée à venir occuper sensible­ment la zone en creux 15 formée sur le fond 11 et présentant à cet effet, une forme d'ensemble et des dimensions correspondant à celle-ci. Ainsi, la plaque de base 29 est délimitée par deux bords opposés obliques 30, qui sont symétriques par rapport à l'axe longitudinal dudit obturateur 4 et qui sont réunis à leurs extrémités avant et arrière par des bordures en arc de cercle respectivement 31 et 32. La bordure arrière 32 est repliée d'équerre pour constituer une courte jupe 33.The shutter member 4, which is shown in particular in Figures 8 to 10, is a part which is also obtained, in a simple manner by molding a plastic material. It consists of a base plate 29 intended to substantially occupy the hollow zone 15 formed on the bottom 11 and having for this purpose an overall shape and dimensions corresponding to this. Thus, the base plate 29 is delimited by two opposite oblique edges 30, which are symmetrical with respect to the longitudinal axis of said shutter 4 and which are joined at their front and rear ends by edges in a circular arc 31 and 32 respectively. . The border rear 32 is folded square to form a short skirt 33.

Par ailleurs, l'obturateur 4 comporte, per­pendiculairement à son axe longitudinal de symétrie et sensiblement à mi-distance entre les bordures 31 et 32, une courte languette 34 perpendiculaire à la plaque de base 29, orientée du même côté que la jupe 33 et s'étendant sur toute la largeur de ladite plaque de base 29. La languette 34 est arrondie le long de sa bordure opposée à la jupe 33. La languette 34 divise la plaque de base 29 en une partie avant 35 et une partie arrière 36, destinées à venir se placer, en position de montage de la capsule de distribution 2, respectivement au droit de la platine supérieure 18 et de la platine inférieure 19.Furthermore, the shutter 4 comprises, perpendicular to its longitudinal axis of symmetry and substantially halfway between the edges 31 and 32, a short tongue 34 perpendicular to the base plate 29, oriented on the same side as the skirt 33 and extending over the entire width of said base plate 29. The tongue 34 is rounded along its edge opposite the skirt 33. The tongue 34 divides the base plate 29 into a front part 35 and a rear part 36, intended to be placed in the mounting position of the dispensing capsule 2, respectively in line with the upper plate 18 and the lower plate 19.

Dans sa partie avant 35, entre la bordure 31 et le voisinage de la languette 34, la plaque de base 29 est bordée, le long de ses deux bords obliques 30 et du même côté que la languette 34, par deux ailes latérales 37 dont les extrémités libres sont effilées. Ces ailes 37 sont susceptibles de se loger totalement dans les gorges 24 de l'adaptateur 3.In its front part 35, between the edge 31 and the vicinity of the tongue 34, the base plate 29 is bordered, along its two oblique edges 30 and on the same side as the tongue 34, by two lateral wings 37 whose free ends are tapered. These wings 37 are capable of being completely housed in the grooves 24 of the adapter 3.

Dans sa partie arrière, les bordures latérales de la plaque de base 29 sont repliées pour former deux retours en équerre 41, qui constituent le prolongement de la jupe 33 et dont la hauteur diminue progressivement depuis la jupe 33 jusqu'au voisinage de la languette 34, où ils portent chacun un tourillon externe 42, dont l'axe est perpendiculaire à l'axe longitudinal de symétrie de l'obturateur 4.In its rear part, the lateral edges of the base plate 29 are folded back to form two square returns 41, which constitute the extension of the skirt 33 and the height of which decreases progressively from the skirt 33 to the vicinity of the tongue 34 , where they each carry an external pin 42, the axis of which is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of symmetry of the shutter 4.

Le montage du dispositif selon l'invention s'effectue de façon très simple : on présente l'adaptateur 3 axialement au-dessus du flacon 1 et on le fait descendre selon l'axe jusqu'à ce que les ren­flements périphériques 12 du manchon 19 s'encliquètent sous le jonc périphérique 8 ; les ailettes radiales 13 et 14 assurent le positionnement de l'adaptateur 3 sur le flacon 1, et la jupe 28 assure l'étanchéité du bouchage en pénétrant dans l'embouchure du col 6. Ensuite, on présente l'obturateur 4 à plat et conven­ablement orienté au-dessus de l'adaptateur 3 et on l'abaisse jusqu'à ce que les tourillons 42 reposent sur les plans inclinés 27 ; puis on applique une force sur la plaque de base 29 pour faire pénétrer les tourillons 42 dans les logements 25. Dans cette posi­tion, la languette 34 est en appui contre le décrochement 17 ; la bordure avant 31 de la plaque 29 est en appui contre le rebord 20 du capot d'habillage 10 ; les ailes latérales 37 sont complètement logées dans les gorges 24 et la bordure externe de la jupe 33 se trouve au voisinage de l'arête interne du rebord 21 du capot d'habillage 10.The assembly of the device according to the invention is carried out in a very simple manner: the adapter 3 is presented axially above the bottle 1 and it is lowered along the axis until the peripheral bulges 12 of the sleeve 19 snap under the peripheral ring 8; the radial fins 13 and 14 ensure the positioning of the adapter 3 on the bottle 1, and the skirt 28 seals the closure by penetrating into the mouth of the neck 6. Next, the shutter 4 is presented flat and suitably oriented above the adapter 3 and it is lowered until the pins 42 rest on the inclined planes 27; then a force is applied to the base plate 29 to cause the pins 42 to penetrate into the housings 25. In this position, the tongue 34 bears against the recess 17; the front edge 31 of the plate 29 bears against the rim 20 of the covering cover 10; the lateral wings 37 are completely housed in the grooves 24 and the external edge of the skirt 33 is located in the vicinity of the internal edge of the rim 21 of the covering hood 10.

Lorsque l'on met la capsule en position d'obturation, après la distribution, en appuyant sur la partie avant de l'obturateur 4, le volume du canal 43 disparaît puisque la plaque 29 vient en appui sur la platine 18 : de la sorte, tout le produit sorti du flacon 1 est éjecté de la capsule, ce qui évite tout risque de bouchage ou de distribution ultérieure d'un produit détérioré à l'air.When the capsule is put in the closed position, after dispensing, by pressing on the front part of the shutter 4, the volume of the channel 43 disappears since the plate 29 comes to bear on the plate 18: so , all the product out of the bottle 1 is ejected from the capsule, which avoids any risk of clogging or subsequent distribution of a product deteriorated in the air.

Tous les éléments ci-dessus cités et correspondant aux figures 1 à 10 se retrouvent égale­ment dans un deuxième mode de réalisation représenté sur les figures 11 et 12. Pour ce deuxième mode de réalisation, ces éléments ont été numérotés en rajoutant cent au numéro de référence adopté pour le premier mode de réalisation.All the elements mentioned above and corresponding to Figures 1 to 10 are also found in a second embodiment shown in Figures 11 and 12. For this second embodiment, these elements have been numbered by adding a hundred to the reference number adopted for the first embodiment.

Toujours en se référant aux figures 1 à 10, on note que l'orifice 22 est bordé extérieurement par une cheminée cylindrique 23. Dans la face inférieure de la partie avant 35, est pratiqué un évidement cylindrique borgne 38 disposé sur l'axe longitudinal de la plaque 29, sensiblement à mi-distance entre la bordure 31 et la languette 34 ; autour de cet évide­ment 38, est ménagée une gorge annulaire 39 coaxiale avec lui. Ladite gorge 39 est destinée à recevoir la cheminée cylindrique 23 portée par la platine 18 en position d'obturation du flacon 1 ; la jupe 40 constituée entre l'évidement 38 et la gorge 39, assure en position d'obturation, l'étanchéité entre l'adaptateur 3 et l'obturateur 4. Lors du montage, la cheminée 23 est reçue dans la gorge 39 et la jupe 40 pénètre dans l'embouchure de ladite cheminée pour assurer l'étanchéité du bouchage.Still referring to FIGS. 1 to 10, it is noted that the orifice 22 is bordered on the outside by a cylindrical chimney 23. In the lower face of the front part 35, a blind cylindrical recess 38 is formed, arranged on the longitudinal axis. of the plate 29, substantially halfway between the edge 31 and the tongue 34; around this recess 38, is formed an annular groove 39 coaxial with it. Said groove 39 is intended to receive the cylindrical chimney 23 carried by the plate 18 in the closed position of the bottle 1; the skirt 40 formed between the recess 38 and the groove 39, ensures in the closed position, the seal between the adapter 3 and the shutter 4. During assembly, the chimney 23 is received in the groove 39 and the skirt 40 enters the mouth of said chimney to seal the blockage.

En se référant aux figures 11 et 12, on voit que l'orifice 122 débouche sur le fond 150 d'une cavité cylindrique 151. Cette cavité 151 a été ménagée perpendiculairement à la platine supérieure avant 118 et à partir de celle-ci. Sa directrice a une forme sensiblement rectangulaire dont les longueurs 152 sont parallèles au plan bissecteur des deux gorges latérales 124 et sont disposées symétriquement par rapport à ce plan. Les largeurs sont délimitées par deux arcs de cercle 153a et 153b, l'arc de cercle 153a à l'avant de la platine étant positionné tangentielle­ment à la paroi en arc de cercle 120 constituant le rebord du capot d'habillage 110, l'arc de cercle 153b à l'arrière de la platine 118 venant s'appuyer tangen­tiellement sur une ligne reliant les extrémités arrière des gorges 124.Referring to FIGS. 11 and 12, it can be seen that the orifice 122 opens onto the bottom 150 of a cylindrical cavity 151. This cavity 151 has been formed perpendicularly to and from the upper front plate 118. Its director has a substantially rectangular shape, the lengths 152 of which are parallel to the bisector plane of the two lateral grooves 124 and are arranged symmetrically with respect to this plane. The widths are delimited by two circular arcs 153 a and 153 b , the circular arc 153 a at the front of the plate being positioned tangentially to the wall in a circular arc 120 constituting the edge of the covering hood 110, the circular arc 153 b at the rear of the plate 118 coming to bear tangentially on a line connecting the rear ends of the grooves 124.

Sur la face inférieure de la partie avant 135 de l'obturateur est ménagée une ailette 154, dont la base est une courbe fermée épousant exactement la forme des parois de la cavité 151 ; cette ailette 154 est échancrée à l'avant sur les 3/4 de sa profondeur. En position d'obturation, l'ailette 154 s'emboîte totalement sur les parois de la cavité 151 et la sub­stance contenue dans le flacon 101 ne peut pas passer.On the underside of the front portion 135 of the shutter is provided a fin 154, the base of which is a closed curve exactly matching the shape of the walls of the cavity 151; this fin 154 is indented at the front over 3/4 of its depth. In the closed position, the fin 154 fits completely on the walls of the cavity 151 and the substance contained in the bottle 101 cannot pass.

Losqu'on veut distribuer une dose de la substance contenue dans le flacon 1 ou 101 selon que l'on utilise l'une ou l'autre des réalisations proposées, on appuie sur l'obturateur 4 (respective­ment 104) sur sa partie arrière 36 (respectivement 136) comme indiqué par les flèches de la figure 3 (respectivement 12), ce qui fait basculer l'obturateur 4 (respectivement 104) autour des tourillons 42 (respectivement 142). Les ailes 37 (respectivement 137) remontent dans les gorges 24 (124) sans toutefois être extraites de celles-ci et la partie arrondie de la languette 34 (respectivement 134) glisse le long du décrochement 17 (respectivement 117) formé sur le fond 11 (respectivement 111) de l'adaptateur 3 (respective­ment 103).When we want to distribute a dose of the substance contained in the bottle 1 or 101 depending on whether we use one or other of the proposed embodiments, we press the shutter 4 (respectively 104) on its rear part 36 (respectively 136) as indicated by the arrows in FIG. 3 (respectively 12), which causes the shutter 4 (respectively 104) to tilt around the pins 42 (respectively 142). The wings 37 (respectively 137) go back into the grooves 24 (124) without however being extracted from them and the rounded part of the tongue 34 (respectively 134) slides along the recess 17 (respectively 117) formed on the bottom 11 (respectively 111) of the adapter 3 (respectively 103).

Dans le premier mode de réalisation, on a ainsi dégagé l'ouverture de sortie de la cheminée 23, comme le montre la figure 3, et constitué un canal de distribution 43 délimité entre l'obturateur 4 et la platine avant 18 de l'adaptateur 3. La plaque de base 29 et les ailes latérales 37 forment une paroi tubu­laire ouverte vers la platine 18 et limitée vers l'arrière par la languette 34.In the first embodiment, the outlet opening of the chimney 23 has thus been released, as shown in FIG. 3, and constituted a distribution channel 43 delimited between the shutter 4 and the front plate 18 of the adapter 3. The base plate 29 and the lateral wings 37 form a tubular wall open towards the plate 18 and limited towards the rear by the tongue 34.

Dans le deuxième mode de réalisation, le canal de distribution 155 est délimité entre l'obturateur 104 et le fond 150 de la cavité 151. La cavité 151 et l'ailette 154 forment une paroi tubu­laire s'ouvrant sur la paroi en arc de cercle 120 con­stituant le rebord du capot d'habillage 110 et limité vers l'arrière par la languette 134.In the second embodiment, the distribution channel 155 is delimited between the shutter 104 and the bottom 150 of the cavity 151. The cavity 151 and the fin 154 form a tubular wall opening onto the wall in an arc 120 constituting the edge of the covering cover 110 and limited towards the rear by the tongue 134.

De la sorte et selon le mode de réalisation choisi, la substance peut être distribuée par le canal 43 ou 155 constitué à l'avant de la capsule 2 ou 102, sans s'écouler ni vers l'arrière dans l'espace défini entre la partie arrière 36 ou 136 de la plaque de base 29 ou 129 et la platine inférieure 19 ou 119, ni latéralement vers l'extérieur pour le premier mode de réalisation, ni latéralement vers la platine avant 118 pour le deuxième mode de réalisation.In this way and according to the chosen embodiment, the substance can be distributed through the channel 43 or 155 formed at the front of the capsule 2 or 102, without flowing nor backwards in the space defined between the rear part 36 or 136 of the base plate 29 or 129 and the lower plate 19 or 119, nor laterally outward for the first embodiment, nor laterally toward the front plate 118 for the second embodiment.

En se reportant aux figures 13 à 16 des des­sins, on peut voir un troisième mode de réalisation d'une capsuble de bouchage selon l'invention. Les éléments de cette capsule identiques ou jouant des rôles semblables à des éléments déjà décrits à propos des figures 11 et 12 sont désignés par des références numériques égales à la somme de la référence numérique utilisée sur ces figures 11 et 12, et du nombre 100. La description de ces éléments ne sera pas reprise ou sera effectuée succinctement.Referring to Figures 13 to 16 of the drawings, one can see a third embodiment of a closure cap according to the invention. The elements of this capsule identical to or playing roles similar to elements already described in connection with FIGS. 11 and 12 are designated by numerical references equal to the sum of the numerical reference used in these FIGS. 11 and 12, and the number 100. The description of these elements will not be repeated or will be made succinctly.

L'organe adapteur 203 est muni d'une cavité sensiblement cylindrique 251 qui a une section circu­laire, alors que dans la réalisation des figures 11 et 12 la cavité 151 avait une section sensiblement rec­tangulaire. La cavité 251 s'étend depuis la platine supérieure avant 218 jusqu'au fond 250 dans lequel est prévu l'orifice 222 de passage du produit.The adapter member 203 is provided with a substantially cylindrical cavity 251 which has a circular section, while in the embodiment of Figures 11 and 12 the cavity 151 had a substantially rectangular section. The cavity 251 extends from the upper front plate 218 to the bottom 250 in which the orifice 222 for the passage of the product is provided.

La surface interne de la cavité 251 est légèrement évasée à partir du fond 211 vers le haut. La paroi cylindrique arrière, délimitant la cavité 251 forme le décrochement 217. La paroi limitant la cavité 251 est tangente à l'extrémité avant B (figure 14) de l'organe adaptateur 203. Le diamètre de la cavité 251 n'est que légèrement inférieur à la distance entre les ailes 216, vers l'avant, de sorte que la platine supérieure 218 a une surface relativement réduite.The internal surface of the cavity 251 is slightly flared from the bottom 211 upwards. The rear cylindrical wall delimiting the cavity 251 forms the recess 217. The wall limiting the cavity 251 is tangent to the front end B (FIG. 14) of the adapter member 203. The diameter of the cavity 251 is only slightly less than the distance between the wings 216, towards the front, so that the upper plate 218 has a relatively small surface.

L'ouverture 222 débouche dans la partie arrière du fond de la cavité 251 et a la forme d'une lentille convexe (voir figure 14) limitée, vers l'avant, par un arc de cercle centré sur l'axe de l'organe adaptateur 203 et situé légèrement à l'intérieur du contour intérieur de la jupe 228. Vers l'arrière, cette ouverture 222 est limitée par le contour circulaire de la base de la cavité 251.The opening 222 opens into the rear part of the bottom of the cavity 251 and has the shape of a convex lens (see FIG. 14) limited, towards the front, by an arc of a circle centered on the axis of the member adapter 203 and located slightly inside the interior contour of the skirt 228. Towards the rear, this opening 222 is limited by the circular outline of the base of the cavity 251.

Le moyen d'obturation de cette cavité 251 est formé par un manchon cylindrique M prévu vers l'avant de l'organe obturateur 204, l'axe de ce man­chon M étant orthogonal au plan moyen de l'obturateur. Le centre du manchon M est situé sur l'axe de symétrie de l'obturateur 204. Ce manchon M est tangent à l'extrémité avant de la plaque de l'obturateur 204 et est solidaire de la surface inférieure de cet obtura­teur, de manière à s'ouvrir vers le bas, c'est-à-dire en vis à vis du fond 211. Ce manchon M constitue donc une paroi tubulaire 254 propre à coopérer avec des moyens complémentaires constitués par la paroi tubu­laire délimitant la cavité 251 sur l'organe adaptateur 203.The closure means of this cavity 251 is formed by a cylindrical sleeve M provided towards the front of the shutter member 204, the axis of this sleeve M being orthogonal to the mean plane of the shutter. The center of the sleeve M is located on the axis of symmetry of the shutter 204. This sleeve M is tangent to the front end of the shutter plate 204 and is integral with the lower surface of this shutter, so to open downwards, that is to say facing the bottom 211. This sleeve M therefore constitutes a tubular wall 254 adapted to cooperate with complementary means constituted by the tubular wall delimiting the cavity 251 on the adapter 203.

Le manchon M est propre à s'engager de manière étanche dans cette cavité 251.The sleeve M is suitable for sealingly engaging in this cavity 251.

Le manchon M comporte, vers l'avant, une fenêtre rectangulaire 243 dans sa paroi cylindrique pour le passage du produit. Une bordure l, située au-­dessous de la fenêtre 243, relie les deux parois latérales délimitant cette fenêtre (voir figure 16). L'ensemble est tel que dans la position de distribu­tion de l'organe obturateur 204, comme représenté sur la figure 13, la bordure l reste engagée au moins en partie dans la cavité 251. Ainsi, la combinaison de la paroi délimitant la cavité 251 et de la paroi tubu­laire 254 permet d'établir un canal fermé conduisant le produit de l'orifice 222 à la fenêtre de sortie 243. Cette fenêtre se trouve à l'extérieur, dans le sens radial, de l'embouchure 206 du récipient et est située en bordure de l'organe adaptateur 203.The sleeve M comprises, towards the front, a rectangular window 243 in its cylindrical wall for the passage of the product. A border 1 , located below window 243, connects the two side walls delimiting this window (see FIG. 16). The assembly is such that in the dispensing position of the shutter member 204, as shown in FIG. 13, the edge l remains engaged at least in part in the cavity 251. Thus, the combination of the wall delimiting the cavity 251 and from the tubular wall 254 makes it possible to establish a closed channel leading the product from the orifice 222 to the outlet window 243. This window is located outside, in the radial direction, of the mouth 206 of the container and is located on the edge of the adapter member 203.

L'utilisation et le fonctionnement de la capsule de bouchage des figures 13 à 16 sont semblables à ceux décrits à propos des figures précédentes et ne seront pas repris.The use and operation of the closure cap of Figures 13 to 16 are similar to those described with reference to the previous figures and will not be repeated.

Le moulage des deux pièces constituant la capsule de bouchage des figures 13 à 16 peut être réalisé dans des conditions simples et économiques. En particulier, la réalisation de la fenêtre 243 ne pose pas de problème particulier au moulage et au démoulage.The molding of the two parts constituting the closure cap of FIGS. 13 to 16 can be carried out under simple and economical conditions. In particular, the production of window 243 does not pose any particular problem with molding and demolding.
