Definitions

  • the patent deals with containers provided with tamper-proof devices with a non-removable workable cap, in which the product from the tube reaches the exterior through a hole in the front of the cap by turning the cap itself.
  • Containers of this kind appear in the document EP-A- 0410922, in which a tamper-proof device is described, limiting the opening of the cap by placing a stop on the tube, which, on receiving the rib on the cap, means breakage of the said rib on trying to force the unit by unauthorized opening of the tube.
  • the rib on the inside of the cap is established in terms of a helicoidal component, in which the said rib, on closing the cap, flexes onto the stop on the tube, whereas on opening the cap, it fits into the other face of the stop, thus preventing total opening.
  • the aim of the present patent is to approve a safety device for the cap, according to which the closure of the cap is limited while also performing a function of safeguarding the container in optimum conditions.
  • the cap on the container includes an internal rib which juts out from the internal face of the greater outer skirt and from its base.
  • This internal rib is a radial component and is placed at a certain distance from the helicoidal fin which limits opening, being also somewhat shorter than the said helicoidal fin.
  • a vertical protrusion of limited thickness is placed at a certain distance from the stop that limits opening.
  • the radial rib of the cap makes contact with the upper end of the protrusion on the tube when the cap is turned, in such a way that the protrusion flexes because of the said turning action, making a characteristic sound.
  • This rib is situated near the fin for the opening stop.
  • the radial vertical rib of the cap In the cap closed position, the radial vertical rib of the cap is situated in the space between the opening stop and the vertical protrusion. If wishing to close the cap when in this situation, the vertical rib makes contact with the face of the cap opening stop, which is flat, with which the user notices this impediment and stops turning the cap on the tube. This obviously constitutes a closing limit for the conatiner.
  • the radial vertical rib makes contact with the upper edge of the vertical protrusion on the tube and the user is informed that opening of the container is beginning.
  • the opening stop is carried out by means of the helicoidal fin on the cap itself which becomes housed in an L-shaped recess in the stop on the tube.
  • the radial vertical rib in the cap is placed at a distance in a clockwise direction in relation to its helicoidal fin.
  • the vertical protrusion on the tube is situated at a distance in an anticlockwise direction in relation to the opening stop of the cap.
  • the position of the radial vertical rib (7) of the cap (2) can be appreciated, situated in a clockwise direction in relation to the helicoidal fin (4), as well as the anticlockwise direction of the vertical protrusion (8) on the tube (1) in relation to the stop (3).
  • the rib (7) makes contact with the two skirts in the cap, the inner one and the outer one (9) and its lower end has a stepped section (11), which is illustrated in figure 3, with this section coming into contact with the upper end of the protrusion on the tube.
  • the side positions of the vertical protrusion (8) and of the stop (3) on the tube (1) are defined in the view through (N) in figure 1, which is shown in figure 4. Both protrusions (8) and (3) jut upwards from the trunco-conical area (6) of the tube (1).
  • the action of opening the cap causes the radial rib (7) to contract and flex on the protrusion (8) and in the opposite closing position, it flexes again on the protrusion (8) and comes up against the stop (3) itself on the tube (1), thus preventing excessive or forced closure which might make the container unusable.

Claims (2)

  1. Emballage tubulaire à bouchon practique non démontable, de sécurité, du type de ceux comportant un saillant en L (3), lequel provient de la portion tronconique (6) du tube partant du col de sortie de cette partie tubulaire pour aller vers le côté de celle-ci, avec une ailette de composant hélicoidal (4) venant du fond interne du bouchon et de la surface latérale de celui-ci, occupant une position dans le sens inverse des aiguilles d'une montre dans l'espace intermédiaire entre le rabat extérieur du bouchon et un autre rabat de ce dernier venant se visser au col du tube, se caractérisant par le fait qu'à une certaine distance du saillant en L (3), et vers une position inverse au mouvement des aiguilles d'une montre, un saillant vertical (8) va se placer dans la portion tronconique (6) du tube, à une certaine distance du col et du bord du tube, ce saillant étant de moindre hauteur que le saillant en L et d'une épaisseur limitée, pour aboutir à son tour sur le bouchon et dans l'espace entre rabats qu'occupe l'ailette hélicoidale, une autre ailette (7) provenant également du fond interne du bouchon et de sa surface latérale intérieure, ladite ailette, droite et verticale, étant interrompue à une certaine distance de l'extrémité libre du rabat extérieur du bouchon, cette ailette verticale se trouvant dans le sens des aiguilles par rapport à l'ailette hélicoidale (4) et son extrémité inférieure étant échelonnée de manière que ledit échelonnement soit en contact avec le saillant vertical lorsque l'on tourne le bouchon dans l'un ou l'autre sens, pour se trouver limitée dans la position de fermeture du bouchon en faisant butée avec la face lisse du saillant en L.
  2. Emballage tubulaire à bouchon practique non démontable, de sécurité, selon la revendication 1, se caractérisant par le fait que le saillant vertical (8) de la portion tronconique du tube fait flexion au contact de l'ailette verticale (7) du bouchon, lorsque l'on tourne celui-ci dans un sens ou dans l'autre.
