Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a stopper device with irreversible fixing on the neck of a container.
  • This device is of the type in which the neck of the container has a peripheral bead projecting from its outer wall, and in which the closure device comprises a bottom which, intended to come to permanently cover the opening of the neck, itself comprises even an opening for the passage of the products contained in the container, closable by a cap or the like.
  • a closure device In a certain number of applications, a closure device must have good inviolability before the first opening to guarantee the products contained in the container, and also in a certain number of cases it cannot be removed from the container which it equips, even after it has been emptied, for example to avoid the risk of filling this container with an unsuitable product.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a closure device which, on the one hand fulfills these functions, and which on the other hand can be made of synthetic material, with the use of molds of simple structure, and without laying mold release problem.
  • the bottom comprises, projecting from the side of the container, at least two sections of cylindrical surfaces, arranged in a circle of diameter slightly greater than that passing through the outer face. of the bead, each section of cylindrical surface being extended on at least one of its sides in the circumferential direction, by a tab which, integral with this section in the part thereof opposite the bottom, is inclined from the outside inward and from its end integral with the cylindrical surface section towards its end located on the side of the bottom, which bears on the bead.
  • the closure device After completion of the closure device, it is engaged on the neck of the container. During the passage of the legs in contact with the bead, they retract, before, under the effect of the elasticity of the material to swing back outwards. In the mounted position of the closure device on the neck of the container, the various tabs come up under the bead which the neck comprises. It therefore becomes impossible to remove the plugging device, except to destroy the hooking lugs of it.
  • each tab is substantially equal to half the height of a section of cylindrical surface.
  • the angle formed by each tab, with the perpendicular to the bottom of the closure device is less than 45 °, and for example of the order of 25 °. This value favors the conditions for both retraction of the tabs during the passage of the bead, and for arbouting of the tabs to ensure that the device is held on the neck of the container.
  • the various pairs of cylindrical surface sections-attachment lugs are arranged in a regular angular distribution.
  • the number of pairs of cylindrical surface sections-attachment lugs is a function of the size of the closure device, and may for example be 3, 4 or 5.
  • this device comprises a cylindrical skirt projecting from the bottom outside of the pairs of cylindrical surface sections-fastening lugs, of length at least equal to these, and the free edge of which is located in the immediate vicinity of the container body.
  • This cylindrical skirt which completely covers the pairs of cylindrical surface sections-fastening tabs, prevents any accessibility to them, so that a user cannot, using a tool, exert an action of deformation on the legs and the cylindrical surface sections associated therewith to allow the legs to escape from the bead.
  • the closure device according to the invention is advantageously made of a polymer material, such as polyethylene, polypropylene or polystyrene.
  • Figure 1 shows the upper part of a container 2, and in particular the shoulder 3 and the neck 4 thereof.
  • the cylindrical neck of the container is fitted near its upper end, and projecting from its outer face, with a bead 5.
  • the plugging device made of synthetic material, comprises a part 6 in the form of a chimney, intended to engage with sealing in the opening 7 of the neck 4.
  • This part 6 in the form of a chimney protrudes from a bottom 8 which rests on the upper edge of the neck. From this bottom 8 protrudes, on the side opposite to which the part 6 is turned, a tubular part 9 forming a spout.
  • On the bottom 8 is articulated by known means, for example in the form of a film hinge 10, an articulated cap 12, comprising a tubular obturator 13 intended to engage in the part 9 to ensure closure of the closure device.
  • the cover 12 has, in its front face, a recess 14 facilitating its opening operation.
  • the bottom 8 is extended, on the side opposite to the cap 12, by a cylindrical skirt 15, which extends to the level of the shoulder 3 of the container 2.
  • Each cylindrical surface section 16 is extended on one of its sides in the circumferential direction, by a lug 17, integral with this section in the part thereof opposite the bottom.
  • This tab 17, also in the form of a cylindrical surface section, is inclined from the outside towards the inside, and from its end integral with the cylindrical surface section, towards its end situated on the side of the bottom 8.
  • the height of the lug 17 is substantially less than the height of the cylindrical surface section 16. In any event, the height of the lug 17 is such that it comes to bear under the bead 5 of the neck 4.
  • the angle formed by each leg with the perpendicular to the bottom 8 is less than 45 °, and advantageously of the order of 25 °.
  • the closure device is positioned opposite the neck of the container, and fixed thereon by simple snap-fastening, the tabs 17 disappearing when they pass in contact with the bead 5, during the axial engagement movement of the closure device on the container neck.
  • the tabs after having exceeded the bead 5, return to their initial position and come to bear and brace themselves under the bead ensuring a definitive fixing of the device on the neck of the container. It should be noted that it is not possible to remove the device from the neck of the container without breaking the hooking tabs.
  • the hooking lugs 17 cannot be actuated to allow the withdrawal of the closure device, since they are made inaccessible taking into account the presence of the cylindrical skirt 15.
  • the invention provides a great improvement to the existing technique by providing a plugging device of simple design, and fixed irreversibly on the neck of the container that it is intended to equip.
  • each section of cylindrical surface could be equipped with two hooking lugs arranged on either side of it or the number of sections of cylindrical surface could be different from four, or even that the device for plugging could be closed by a member other than an articulated cap, without departing from the scope of the invention.
