Definitions
- the invention relates to a metallic cap or overcap with tear line or improved tear-off tab.
- the Applicant has sought to remedy such drawbacks, more particularly to obtain tongue tears reliably guided with preferably torn edges that are not injurious.
- the subject of the invention is a metal closure or overcap capsule comprising a skirt with a thickness of between 0.06 and 0.4 mm, this skirt comprising at least one typically annular tear line, this line comprising an incision and a succession external reliefs and alternating transverse hollows, characterized in that one end of each said hollow is located in said tear line or less than 0.5 mm from this line, the thickness of the bottom of the hollow or residual being between 20 and 70% of the thickness of the skirt, and in that this said tear line comprises an external incision of bottom thickness at most equal to 70% of the thickness of said skirt.
- these lines comprise two said external incisions situated between the two said successions of reliefs and hollows and thus delimiting said tearable tongue.
- Each external incision typically has a bottom thickness of between 30 and 70% of the thickness of the skirt.
- the incision could without disadvantage for the good guidance of the tearing be less deep than the hollows which reach it or almost reach it.
- This measurement is particularly advantageous for the good mechanical strength of the capsule, especially when the hollows constitute a significant weakening, leaving for example a bottom thickness of 0.05 mm.
- the difference between the bottom thickness of each incision is thus preferably 0.01 to 0.10 mm greater than the thickness of the troughs.
- each tear line an area of width 0.4 to 1.5 mm.
- said recesses are inclined from 10 to 30 ° relative to the longitudinal axis of the capsule in the case of metals or alloys of hardness H B greater at 30, the thickness of the bottom of the troughs decreasing towards the tear line. It is then an inclination in the cross direction of the knobs which facilitates the penetration of the reliefs, the limitation to 30 ° making it possible to prevent the corresponding torn edge from becoming injurious.
- each incision and the corresponding tear line are made by means of a second succession of alternating reliefs and transverse hollows, the ends of these hollows being inserted between the ends of the hollows the first succession so as to form an external incision line on the capsule.
- the preferential condition of orientation of alternate reliefs and hollows to facilitate tearing of the tongue is preferably accompanied by a specific orientation measure for each tear line now bordered by two successions of alternating transverse reliefs and hollows: the limits of their respective reliefs and hollows preferably form Vs oriented in the direction of tearing of the tongue.
- the inclinations relative to the tearing direction are then preferably between 10 and 40 °.
- the capsule of the invention is typically made of metal or alloy from the group formed by lead or alloy, tin or alloy, aluminum or alloy. Caps made of Al alloys with a Brinell hardness greater than 50 require greater compression forces.
- the invention also applies to capsules of other metals or alloys, for example zinc or tinplate and to multilayer capsules essentially of metal with at least one layer of plastic material, each incision having a thickness of bottom preferably between 20% and 70% of the metal layer located inside the capsule.
- the subject of the invention is also the method of manufacturing a line for tearing a metallic closure or overcap capsule with a skirt thickness of between 0.06 and 0.4 mm, in which this capsule is fitted onto a mandrel or internal tool and an external tool or knurled wheel is rotated relative to said internal tool, said external tool comprising at least one knurled ring each carrying a succession of alternating reliefs and hollows, and in which said capsule is compressed between said external tool and said internal tool during said rotation.
- an annular knife is fixed against each said knurled ring, the cutting end of said knife being at least 0.02 mm in diameter smaller than the outside diameter of said knurled ring and being less than 0.5 mm of this ring, and the compression force of the external tool is adjusted on said nested capsule so as to obtain, after rotation with compression, minimum thicknesses of the capsule of between 20 and 70% of the thickness of its skirt for hollows produced by said alternating reliefs of knurled rings and for the external incision produced by each said annular knife.
- the hollows between the reliefs of the knurled rings are clearances rather than contact surfaces of the capsule during said compression.
- each said annular knife is replaced by a second knurled ring carrying alternating reliefs and hollows which are placed respectively opposite the alternating hollows and reliefs of the first said knurled ring, the second ring being fixed against the first and their junction thus defining an external incision formed by the ends of the hollows produced by said alternating reliefs.
- This double knurling giving a very fine incision produces improved resistance to capping constraints while maintaining very good tearing.
- This incision can be continuous, or discontinuous when the reliefs of the knurled rings are respectively offset or when these reliefs are narrower in width than the hollows they leave between them. It is thus possible to obtain discontinuous incisions well suited to the metal or alloy of the capsule, to its hardness and to its thickness.
- FIG. 1 shows a wheel used for the manufacture of a first tear tab according to the invention, in elevation.
- FIG. 2 represents the capsule obtained, with an axial half-section made at the level of the hollows of the two knurled zones and an external half-view of the capsule and of its tearing tab.
- Figure 3 shows a portion of the half-section, enlarged at a tear line.
- Figure 4 is an external half-view of a second capsule, in which the orientation of the reliefs and hollows of the tear lines is improved.
- Figure 5 an assembly forming part of an outer wheel of embodiment of the invention in its particular mode.
- Figure 6 is an external half-view of a third capsule having a tear tab according to this particular mode.
- Figure 7 shows two knobs used for the manufacture of a fourth capsule, in elevation.
- FIG. 8 represents this fourth capsule, with an axial half-section and an external half-view.
- FIG. 1 represents a set of rollers 1, forming around its axis 2 and comprising two rollers 3 of inclined toothing 4, of external diameter 40 mm and width 0.7 mm, each roll 3 comprising 125 teeth 4 inclined at 25 ° by report to the management of the axis of symmetry and revolution 20, that is to say according to the width of the wheel 3.
- the hollows between teeth have a depth of 0.4 mm, they do not come into contact with the capsule during knurling .
- Two knives 5 are assembled respectively against the inner faces 6 of the rollers, they both have a diameter of 39.9 mm slightly smaller than the outside diameter of the rollers, which makes it possible to keep incision bottoms 9 a little thicker than the trough 10 (fig. 3) and prevents accidental cuts when handling the knurled assembly.
- These knives 5 have a base width of 0.5 mm, and a frustoconical bevel 7 at 45 ° ending in an edge 70 of width 0.02 mm and of rounded profile.
- the capsule 11 made of slightly alloyed tin containing more than 99% Sn and a thickness of skirt 0.16 mm, is fitted onto a punch (not shown) which '' is rotated at 1380 rpm.
- This capsule 11 has an internal diameter of 29.5 mm at the level of the tearable tongue 8 to be shaped.
- the knurling assembly 1 is applied against the skirt 12 of the capsule 11 with a force F of 80 daN for 0.16 seconds.
- annular incisions 13 and 14 with a bottom thickness of incision 9 equal to 0.09 mm, each being bordered by a knurled zone, the recesses 15 of which have a bottom 10 with a thickness of 0.04 mm.
- FIG. 3 shows the situation of the incision 13 with respect to the hollows 15 and reliefs 21 created by the wheel 3.
- the break is perfectly guided by the incision 13 and has a mean direction 22 with an edge crenellated by the reliefs 21 and hollow 15 and a tongue side edge 8 of irregular surface.
- the incisions obtained 130 and 140 are continuous or discontinuous depending on whether they are obtained with an assembly of offset wheels with reliefs and hollows of the same width and well opposite one another (assembly of FIG. 5), or that these same reliefs and hollows are respectively offset.
- Tearing of the tabs such as 81 thus prepared is easy and gives crenellated torn edges as well for the tab 81 as for the strains 19 and 20, the tab 81 being itself bordered by knurled zones 23.
- Tests were carried out on 160 Al capsules with at least 99.5% annealed purity, with a thickness of 0.09 mm skirt, according to the same technique of making the incision line by bringing together 2 notched knurled wheels. , using such knurls 50 and 51 of width or thickness 0.5 mm having as previously teeth or reliefs 52 inclined at 25 ° relative to the line of incision that they will produce, the reliefs of the two knurls having a width 0.2 mm unit and 1 mm pitch.
- the end 53 of each relief 52, on the junction plane of the knobs 50 and 51, is in the middle of a hollow 54 of the other toothing, halfway between the reliefs 520 which frame this hollow.
- the two wheel assemblies 60 are identical but independent, making it possible to produce 1 or 2 tear lines on a capsule.
- Each includes the assembly of a knurled wheel 50 and an identical turned knurled wheel 51.
- the end 530 of a hollow 52 is framed by two non-incised portions such as 541 of width along this 0.3 mm incision line.
