Description

L'invention concerne un dispositif de bouchage d'un flacon du type comprenant une capsule de bouchage coopérant avec le col du flacon, en particulier pour la parfumerie et la cosmétologie.The invention relates to a device for capping a bottle of the type comprising a closure cap cooperating with the neck of the bottle, in particular for perfumery and cosmetology.

Habituellement, les capsules de bouchage ou bouchons comportent un taraudage coopérant avec un filetage formé sur le col du flacon ou sur une bague réceptrice fixée sur ce col. Ce système de bouchage traditionnel ne permet l'ouverture que dans un sens de rotation de la capsule et la fermeture dans l'autre sens de rotation de la capsule.Usually, the stopper capsules or stoppers have a thread cooperating with a thread formed on the neck of the bottle or on a receiving ring fixed on this neck. This traditional closure system allows opening only in one direction of rotation of the capsule and closing in the other direction of rotation of the capsule.

En outre, la pression de fermeture, qui assure l'étanchéité par l'intermédiaire de joints interposés, n'est fournie que par le degré de vissage de la capsule. Il est en conséquence fréquent de visser trop fortement la capsule, au risque de l'endommager et/ou de comprimer excessivement les joints. Il arrive également que le vissage soit insuffisant, de sorte que l'étanchéité n'est pas assurée et/ou que la capsule a tendance à se dévisser.In addition, the closing pressure, which seals by means of interposed seals, is only provided by the degree of screwing of the capsule. It is therefore common to screw the cap too tightly, at the risk of damaging it and / or compressing the seals excessively. It also happens that the screwing is insufficient, so that the seal is not ensured and / or that the capsule tends to unscrew.

De plus, un autre inconvénient de ce système traditionnel est de ne pas assurer un positionnement précis et répétitif de la capsule lorsqu'elle est fermée, ce qui nuit à l'aspect esthétique du flacon lorsque, par exemple, la capsule a une forme géométrique complémentaire de celle du flacon proprement dit.In addition, another disadvantage of this traditional system is that it does not ensure precise and repetitive positioning of the capsule when it is closed, which harms the aesthetic appearance of the bottle when, for example, the capsule has a geometric shape. complementary to that of the bottle itself.

La présente invention vise à fournir un nouveau dispositif de bouchage pour flacons ne présentant pas les inconvénients des systèmes connus qui viennent d'être décrits.The present invention aims to provide a new closure device for bottles which does not have the drawbacks of the known systems which have just been described.

A cet effet, le dispositif de bouchage selon l'invention est caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend deux rampes ouvertes diamétralement opposées ménagées sur le col du flacon et au centre de chacune desquelles est formé un cran mâle, la capsule de bouchage comprenant une jupe cylindrique munie intérieurement de deux ergots de verrouillage diamétralement opposés portant chacun un logement avec lequel coopère un desdits crans mâles.To this end, the closure device according to the invention is characterized in that it comprises two diametrically opposite open ramps formed on the neck of the bottle and in the center of each of which is formed a male notch, the closure capsule comprising a skirt cylindrical provided internally with two diametrically opposite locking lugs each carrying a housing with which one of said male notches cooperates.

Le guidage de la capsule est assuré par sa jupe cylindrique coopérant avec le col du flacon et par les ergots de verrouillage coopérant avec l'une ou l'autre des rampes du col, selon le sens de rotation de la capsule. Un positionnement précis de la capsule, en position de verrouillage, est assuré par la coopération du cran mâle avec le logement séparant les ergots de verrouillage. Le bouchage et le débouchage se font par une rotation d'un quart de tour de la capsule de bouchage, dans un sens de rotation ou dans l'autre, par rapport aux ouvertures des rampes.The capsule is guided by its cylindrical skirt cooperating with the neck of the bottle and by the locking pins cooperating with one or the other of the ramps of the neck, according to the direction of rotation of the capsule. Precise positioning of the capsule, in the locking position, is ensured by the cooperation of the male notch with the housing separating the locking pins. The plugging and unclogging are done by a quarter-turn rotation of the plugging cap, in one direction of rotation or the other, relative to the openings of the ramps.

Avantageusement, la capsule de bouchage comprend un corps extérieur relié à ladite jupe cylindrique par un anneau souple, de manière à faire plaquer ledit corps extérieur contre l'épaule du flacon en position de verrouillage.Advantageously, the closure cap comprises an outer body connected to said cylindrical skirt by a flexible ring, so as to press said outer body against the shoulder of the bottle in the locked position.

Selon une forme de réalisation, les rampes et leurs crans mâles sont formés directement sur le col du flacon, en verre ou en matière synthétique. En variantes, les rampes et leurs crans mâles sont formés sur une bague fixée sur le col du flacon.According to one embodiment, the ramps and their male notches are formed directly on the neck of the bottle, made of glass or synthetic material. Alternatively, the ramps and their male notches are formed on a ring fixed to the neck of the bottle.

Selon une forme d'exécution de l'invention, la jupe cylindrique est fermée par une paroi d'extrémité supérieure qui est munie d'un bouchon d'étanchéité autojointant disposé au centre de ladite paroi en saillie vers le flacon. On obtient ainsi une étanchéité sûre du flacon après verrouillage, sans avoir recours à des joints rapportés qui peuvent être omis lors de l'assemblage ou perdus après utilisation du flacon.According to one embodiment of the invention, the cylindrical skirt is closed by an upper end wall which is provided with a self-sealing sealing plug disposed in the center of said wall projecting towards the bottle. This provides a secure seal of the bottle after locking, without having to use attached seals which can be omitted during assembly or lost after use of the bottle.

Avantageusement, la jupe cylindrique avec ses ergots de verrouillage et son bouchon d'étanchéité autojointant est d'une seule pièce avec le corps extérieur et l'anneau souple de liaison.Advantageously, the cylindrical skirt with its locking lugs and its self-sealing sealing plug is in one piece with the external body and the flexible connecting ring.

De préférence, la capsule de bouchage a une forme géométrique complémentaire, au moins en position de verrouillage, de celle du flacon.Preferably, the closure cap has a complementary geometric shape, at least in the locked position, from that of the bottle.

L'invention sera bien comprise à la lecture de la description suivant faite en se référant au dessin annexé dans lequel :
   La figure 1 est une vue schématique en coupe axiale d'un dispositif de bouchage selon un exemple de réalisation de l'invention, avant enfoncement de la capsule sur le col du flacon ; la figure 2 est analogue à la figure 1, après enfoncement de la capsule sur le col du flacon ; la figure 3 est une vue de dessus de la capsule, pour les positions des figures 1 et 2 ; la figure 4 est analogue à la figure 3, après rotation et verrouillage de la capsule, et les figures 5 et 6 sont des vues en coupe axiale respectivement selon les lignes A-A et B-B de la figure 4.The invention will be clearly understood on reading the following description made with reference to the appended drawing in which:
Figure 1 is a schematic view in axial section of a closure device according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention, before pressing the capsule on the neck of the bottle; Figure 2 is similar to Figure 1, after pressing the capsule on the neck of the bottle; Figure 3 is a top view of the capsule, for the positions of Figures 1 and 2; FIG. 4 is similar to FIG. 3, after rotation and locking of the capsule, and FIGS. 5 and 6 are views in axial section respectively along the lines AA and BB of FIG. 4.

Le dispositif selon l'invention est destiné au bouchage d'un flacon 1 dont le col, raccordé au corps du flacon par une épaule 2, porte une bague réceptrice 3. La bague 3 porte deux rampes ouvertes 4 ménageant entre elles à chacune de leurs extrémités un passage pour un ergot de verrouillage 5 d'une capsule de verrouillage 6. Chaque ergot 5 est muni d'un logement central 7 (figure 6). Chaque rampe 4 est munie en son centre d'un cran mâle 8.The device according to the invention is intended for capping a bottle 1, the neck of which, connected to the body of the bottle by a shoulder 2, carries a receiving ring 3. The ring 3 carries two open ramps 4 forming between them at each of their ends a passage for a locking lug 5 of a locking capsule 6. Each lug 5 is provided with a central housing 7 (Figure 6). Each ramp 4 is provided in its center with a male notch 8.

La capsule de verrouillage 6 est constituée par un corps extérieur 9, à section transversale carrée dans l'exemple représenté, relié à une jupe cylindrique intérieur 10 par un anneau souple 11. Les ergots de verrouillage 5 avec leurs logements 7 sont formés sur la paroi intérieure de la jupe 10. La jupe 10 est fermée à son extrémité supérieure par une paroi 12 portant un bouchon autojointant d'étanchéité 13 disposé en son centre et tourné vers le flacon 1.The locking capsule 6 is constituted by an outer body 9, of square cross section in the example shown, connected to an inner cylindrical skirt 10 by a flexible ring 11. The locking pins 5 with their housings 7 are formed on the wall inside of the skirt 10. The skirt 10 is closed at its upper end by a wall 12 carrying a self-sealing sealing plug 13 placed in its center and facing the bottle 1.

Les rampes 4, avec leurs crans 8, au lieu d'être formées sur la bague 3, peuvent être ménagées directement sur le col du flacon 1, qui peut être en verre ou en matière plastique.The ramps 4, with their notches 8, instead of being formed on the ring 3, can be formed directly on the neck of the bottle 1, which can be made of glass or plastic.

Le fonctionnement du dispositif de bouchage selon l'invention est le suivant :The operation of the closure device according to the invention is as follows:

En partant de la position de la figure 1, les ergots 5 étant en regard des passages entre les extrémités des rampes 4, on enfonce la capsule de bouchage 6 pour arriver à la position de la figure 2. Cette position de départ est facilement identifiable par l'utilisateur par la forme du corps extérieur 9 et ou un marquage, par exemple des lignes 14 formées sur la face supérieure du corps 9. Le bouchon 13 est enfoncé dans le col du flacon 1 et le bord inférieur du corps extérieur 9 est plaqué contre l'épaule 2 du flacon 1, du fait de la déformabilité de l'anneau souple 11. Le flacon est bouché mais la capsule 6 n'est pas verrouillée.Starting from the position of FIG. 1, the pins 5 being opposite the passages between the ends of the ramps 4, the sealing cap 6 is pushed in to arrive at the position of FIG. 2. This starting position is easily identifiable by the user by the shape of the outer body 9 and or a marking, for example lines 14 formed on the upper face of the body 9. The stopper 13 is pressed into the neck of the bottle 1 and the lower edge of the outer body 9 is pressed against the shoulder 2 of the bottle 1, due to the deformability of the flexible ring 11. The bottle is closed but the capsule 6 is not locked.

L'utilisateur fait alors subir à la capsule 6 une rotation de 90° dans un sens ou dans l'autre pour arriver à la position des figures 4 à 6 dans laquelle la coiffe 6 est verrouillée sur le flacon 1. Les crans mâles 8 des rampes 4 sont venus s'encliqueter élastiquement respectivement dans un logement 7 d'un ergot 5, ce qui assure un verrouillage avec un positionnement précis de la capsule 6. Cela permet de donner à la capsule 6 une forme complémentaire de celle du flacon 1, autre que de révolution, qui assure un esthétique parfaite du flacon verrouillé. Si, comme dans l'exemple représenté, le corps extérieur 9 est à section transversale carrée, ou toute autre forme polygonale régulière, cette esthétique est conservée en position de fermeture non verrouillée, cette position étant indiquée par la direction des lignes 14.The user then makes the capsule 6 rotate 90 ° in one direction or the other to arrive at the position of FIGS. 4 to 6 in which the cap 6 is locked on the bottle 1. The male notches 8 of the ramps 4 have snap-fitted respectively into a housing 7 of a lug 5, which ensures locking with precise positioning of the capsule 6. This makes it possible to give the capsule 6 a shape complementary to that of the bottle 1, other than revolutionary, which ensures perfect aesthetics of the locked bottle. If, as in the example shown, the external body 9 has a square cross-section, or any other regular polygonal shape, this aesthetic is kept in the unlocked closed position, this position being indicated by the direction of the lines 14.
