Description

La présente invention concerne le domaine des conteneurs notamment pour la conservation et la consommation de boissons.The present invention relates to the field of containers, in particular for the conservation and consumption of drinks.

L'invention concerne plus spécialement la distribution, la conservation et la consommation d'eau minérale, gazeuse, gazéifiée, plate et généralement toute eau, eau de source ou eau de consommation ou encore une limonade, et susceptible d'être conditionnée dans un conteneur de dimensions appropriées correspondant notamment à une consommation personnelle individuelle.The invention relates more particularly to the distribution, conservation and consumption of mineral, aerated, carbonated, still water and generally any water, spring water or drinking water or a lemonade, and capable of being packaged in a container. of appropriate dimensions corresponding in particular to individual personal consumption.

L'invention vise à permettre d'une façon générale de mélanger à un produit de base, de préférence sous forme liquide et au moment de l'utilisation, notamment de la consommation, un additif sous forme liquide ou pulvérulente susceptible d'apporter au produit notamment au liquide de base des propriétés recherchées mais qui sont laissées au choix de l'utilisateur.The invention aims to allow in general to mix with a basic product, preferably in liquid form and at the time of use, in particular of consumption, an additive in liquid or pulverulent form capable of providing the product. in particular with the base liquid of the desired properties but which are left to the choice of the user.

L'invention sera ci-après décrite de façon plus particulière dans son application'à un conteneur destiné à conserver et mettre à la disposition de l'utilisateur une réserve de liquide alimentaire constituant une boisson, mais elle n'est pas limitée à cette application et elle peut être transposée à toute conservation de deux produits, inclus dans un même support, mais étant séparés et susceptibles d'être mélangés au choix du consommateur ou de l'utilisateur lors de l'utilisation ou de la mise en oeuvre.The invention will hereinafter be described more particularly in its application to a container intended to store and make available to the user a reserve of food liquid constituting a drink, but it is not limited to this application. and it can be transposed to any conservation of two products, included in the same support, but being separated and likely to be mixed at the choice of the consumer or the user during use or implementation.

Selon une caractéristique de l'invention, le conteneur contenant le produit de base notamment l'eau de consommation est prévu avec une réserve dans une chambre isolée de l'eau, réserve contenant elle-même un produit actif en vue d'un mélange extemporané.According to a characteristic of the invention, the container containing the basic product, in particular drinking water, is provided with a reserve in a chamber isolated from the water, a reserve itself containing an active product for the purpose of extemporaneous mixing. .

Dans ces conditions, pendant tout le temps de stockage ou de transport ou de la conservation, l'eau (ou liquide de base) est séparée de ladite réserve contenant un additif ou produit actif à mélanger.Under these conditions, during all the time of storage or transport or conservation, the water (or base liquid) is separated from said reserve containing an additive or active product to be mixed.

Et, au moment de la consommation ou de l'utilisation, l'opérateur a à sa disposition une réserve d'un produit actif, notamment sous forme pulvérulente mais de préférence liquide et qui peut être introduit dans la masse du liquide de base en vue d'y apporter des propriétés et notamment des éléments aromatiques, olfactifs, de sapidité ou possédant une action biologique éventuellement thérapeutique.And, at the time of consumption or use, the operator has at his disposal a reserve of an active product, in particular in pulverulent form but preferably liquid and which can be introduced into the mass of the base liquid in view to bring properties and in particular aromatic, olfactory, palatable or having a biological action possibly therapeutic.

A titre d'exemple, la réserve contient un extrait de plantes médicinales, dont le choix peut être modifié et adapté en fonction des finalités recherchées, tant en ce qui concerne la sélection des produits, leur degré de concentration ou encore la quantité de produit actif ou la forme de leur incorporation.For example, the reserve contains an extract of medicinal plants, the choice of which can be modified and adapted according to the desired objectives, both with regard to the selection of products, their degree of concentration or the amount of active product. or the form of their incorporation.

Avantageusement, la réserve contenant les produits actifs notamment les extraits de plantes médicinales est située dans ou au niveau du bouchon ou opercule refermant le conteneur principal de l'eau minérale.Advantageously, the reserve containing the active products, in particular the extracts of medicinal plants, is located in or at the level of the cap or cover closing the main container of mineral water.

Et il est prévu une manoeuvre spécifique permettant à l'opérateur, lors de la consommation, d'opérer à son choix soit le retrait de l'opercule sans mélange du produit actif et sans son incorporation dans la masse d'eau, soit au contraire la rupture d'une cloison séparant la réserve de produit actif de la masse d'eau en assurant ainsi l'écoulement et la mise en communication du produit actif avec la masse d'eau et leur mélange.And there is a specific maneuver allowing the operator, during consumption, to operate at his choice either the removal of the cover without mixing the active product and without its incorporation into the body of water, or on the contrary the rupture of a partition separating the reserve of active product from the body of water thereby ensuring the flow and placing the active product in communication with the body of water and their mixture.

Dans ces conditions, l'opérateur selon le mouvement qui lui est décrit sur les consignes d'utilisation accompagnant la bouteille, notamment figurant sur le flacon ou la boîte, peut à volonté opérer un mélange préalable des ingrédients ou au contraire retirer l'extrait de produit actif sans l'incorporer dans la réserve d'eau.Under these conditions, the operator, according to the movement described to him in the instructions for use accompanying the bottle, in particular appearing on the bottle or the box, can at will operate a prior mixing of the ingredients or, on the contrary, withdraw the extract from active product without incorporating it into the water reserve.

Dans ces conditions, on dispose d'un flacon unitaire susceptible de deux types de consommation, avec ou sans l'additif prévu avec des finalités précédemment évoquées, thérapeutiques, olfactives, aromatiques ou autres.Under these conditions, there is a unit bottle capable of two types of consumption, with or without the additive provided with previously mentioned purposes, therapeutic, olfactory, aromatic or other.

Avantageusement, l'opération de sélection se fera au moment du dévissage du bouchon, éventuellement avec une opération de mise en rotation dans un sens ou dans un autre, ou encore par prélèvement depuis l'extérieur à partir d'une traction exercée sur une languette, d'un élément accompagnant le bouchon et dont l'enlèvement est de nature à provoquer la mise en communication des ingrédients actifs avec la réserve d'eau.Advantageously, the selection operation will be carried out when the cap is unscrewed, possibly with a rotation operation in one direction or another, or even by removal from the outside from a pull exerted on a tongue. , an element accompanying the stopper and the removal of which is likely to cause the active ingredients to communicate with the water reserve.

Avantageusement, l'eau est une eau minérale naturelle, gazeuse ou non, et la réserve de produit actif est constituée par un extrait de plantes médicinales et aromatiques (menthe, anis ou autres) ; l'élément additionnel étant de préférence constitué d'un mélange d'extraits convenablement dosés pour apporter un équilibre à la fois aromatique rendant plus agréable la consommation de la boisson et apportant des éléments actifs sur le plan de l'éveil et de l'excitation des facultés intellectuelles et physiques, en permettant de réaliser ainsi une boisson revitalisante, tonique et vivifiante, en même temps que désaltérante.Advantageously, the water is a natural mineral water, carbonated or not, and the reserve of active product is constituted by an extract of medicinal and aromatic plants (mint, anise or other); the additional element preferably consisting of a mixture of extracts suitably dosed to provide a balance both aromatic making the consumption of the drink more pleasant and providing active elements in terms of arousal and excitement intellectual and physical faculties, in thus making a revitalizing, invigorating and invigorating drink, as well as a refreshing drink.

L'invention peut recevoir de multiples compléments, notamment en ce qui concerne la forme du conteneur, le choix des produits et les organes destinés à assurer la mise en communication de l'additif par rapport à la dose de base.The invention can receive multiple supplements, in particular with regard to the shape of the container, the choice of products and the organs intended to ensure the communication of the additive relative to the basic dose.

L'invention permettra de réaliser une boisson apte à la consommation familiale et personnelle aussi bien qu'à la consommation en cours de voyage, au cours du repas ou dans un débit de boisson.The invention will make it possible to prepare a drink suitable for family and personal consumption as well as for consumption during a trip, during a meal or in a drinking establishment.

L'invention peut être ainsi mise en oeuvre à partir d'un conteneur pour la consommation d'une dose de produit liquide destiné à la consommation et le conteneur étant caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte notamment un opercule d'obturation contenant une réserve d'un produit d'addition destiné à un mélange facultatif extemporané avec la dose de liquide de base et l'opercule comporte à cet effet des moyens d'isolement de ladite réserve de produit d'addition par rapport à la dose de liquide de base, et le conteneur comporte des moyens destructifs de ces dits moyens d'isolement et soumis à une première manoeuvre d'actionnement manuel extérieur de l'opercule en vue d'opérer ledit mélange, ainsi que des moyens d'actionnement manuels selon une seconde manoeuvre de l'opercule en vue de son enlèvement après ou sans mélange préalable.The invention can thus be implemented from a container for the consumption of a dose of liquid product intended for consumption and the container being characterized in that it comprises in particular a sealing cap containing a reserve of an addition product intended for an optional extemporaneous mixture with the dose of base liquid and the cover comprises for this purpose means for isolating said reserve of addition product with respect to the dose of base liquid, and the container comprises means destructive of these said isolation means and subjected to a first manual actuation maneuver outside of the cover in order to operate said mixing, as well as manual actuation means according to a second maneuver of the cover for removal after or without prior mixing.

Avantageusement, l'opercule est constitué d'un bouchon en forme de cylindre borgne coiffant en la refermant l'extrémité ouverte supérieure du conteneur formant le goulot sur lequel il est vissé de façon connue en soi et l'opercule contient intérieurement une capacité contenant le produit d'addition, ladite capacité étant isolée par une membrane transversale sise dans la position d'attente du bouchon en butée contre la section transversale du goulot, ladite membrane étant ainsi apte à céder lors du mouvement de vissage en provoquant la pression du goulot sur la périphérie de la membrane et à être au moins partiellement arrachée en détruisant l'étanchéité de ladite capacité dont le contenu tombe par gravité dans le conteneur.Advantageously, the cover consists of a cap in the form of a blind cylinder capping it by closing the upper open end of the container forming the neck onto which it is screwed in a manner known per se and the cover internally contains a capacity containing the adduct, said capacity being isolated by a transverse membrane located in the position waiting for the stopper in abutment against the cross section of the neck, said membrane thus being able to yield during the screwing movement by causing the pressure of the neck on the periphery of the membrane and to be at least partially torn off by destroying the seal of said capacity, the content of which falls by gravity into the container.

Avantageusement, l'alésage intérieur du bouchon comporte intérieurement une butée en saillie vers l'intérieur et apte à résister à la pression du goulot et à limiter ainsi le mouvement de vissage du bouchon en évitant la destruction complète périphérique de la membrane et sa chute dans le milieu liquide.Advantageously, the inner bore of the plug internally has a stop projecting inwardly and capable of resisting the pressure of the neck and thus limiting the screwing movement of the plug, avoiding the complete peripheral destruction of the membrane and its fall into the liquid medium.

Avantageusement, la butée est prévue pour permettre un mouvement de vissage du bouchon compris entre 1 et 3/4 de tour, au delà desquels le goulot venant en appui sur ladite butée empêche la poursuite du mouvement et assure la solidarisation au moins d'une partie périphérique de la membrane par rapport au corps du bouchon et en évitant sa chute dans le liquide.Advantageously, the stop is provided to allow a screwing movement of the plug of between 1 and 3/4 of a turn, beyond which the neck coming to bear on said stop prevents the continuation of the movement and ensures the securing of at least part membrane membrane relative to the body of the stopper and preventing it from falling into the liquid.

Selon un développement de l'invention, l'obturateur permet alternativement l'ouverture du conteneur par dévissage direct sans vissage préalable et sans mélange du produit d'addition au liquide de base, lequel peut ainsi être consommé tel quel ou alternativement par mouvement de vissage initial la déchirure de la membrane pour assurer le mélange du produit d'addition au liquide de base préalablement à la consommation.According to a development of the invention, the shutter alternately allows the opening of the container by direct unscrewing without prior screwing and without mixing of the additive product with the base liquid, which can thus be consumed as such or alternatively by screwing movement initial tearing of the membrane to ensure mixing of the adduct with the base liquid before consumption.

Avantageusement encore le bouchon comporte à sa base une ceinture d'inviolabilité bloquant le bouchon dans sa position intermédiaire pendant la période de stockage, l'intégrité du bouchon et de sa ceinture d'inviolabilité attestant que aucun mouvement ni de vissage ni de dévissage n'a été tenté sur l'ensemble.Advantageously also the cap has at its base a tamper-evident belt blocking the cap in its intermediate position during the storage period, the integrity of the cap and of its tamper-evident belt attesting that no movement or screwing or unscrewing was attempted on the assembly.

De préférence encore, cette ceinture d'inviolabilité est constituée par une jupe connue en soi prolongeant la base de la paroi cylindrique du bouchon dont elle est séparée par une ligne de faiblesse et qui autorise ainsi la rupture et la séparation de ladite ceinture par rapport à la base cylindrique du bouchon lors de la mise en rotation du bouchon soit pour le vissage en vue du mélange, soit pour le dévissage sans mélange.More preferably, this inviolability belt is constituted by a skirt known per se extending the base of the cylindrical wall of the plug from which it is separated by a line of weakness and which thus authorizes the rupture and the separation of said belt relative to the cylindrical base of the plug when the plug is rotated either for screwing in preparation for mixing, or for unscrewing without mixing.

De préférence, ladite ceinture est logée dans une gorge circulaire disposée sur la paroi extérieure du goulot.Preferably, said belt is housed in a circular groove disposed on the outer wall of the neck.

Selon l'invention, le conteneur peut être constitué d'un flacon ou bouteille.According to the invention, the container can consist of a flask or bottle.

Mais, selon une variante, le conteneur du liquide de base peut être constitué d'un corps cylindrique contenant une réserve de produit liquide associée notamment dans l'opercule à une composition médicamenteuse.However, according to a variant, the container for the base liquid may consist of a cylindrical body containing a reserve of liquid product associated in particular in the cover with a medicinal composition.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention ressortiront de la description qui suit et qui est donnée en rapport avec une forme de réalisation particulière présentée à titre d'exemple non limitatif en se référant aux dessins annexés dans lesquels :Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will emerge from the description which follows and which is given in relation to a particular embodiment presented by way of nonlimiting example with reference to the appended drawings in which:

La Figure 1 représente une vue en coupe verticale du sommet d'un conteneur comportant un opercule selon l'invention dans la position d'attente pour le stockage.Figure 1 shows a vertical sectional view of the top of a container having a cover according to the invention in the waiting position for storage.

La Figure 2 représente le même sommet du conteneur après le mouvement de vissage ayant provoqué la déchirure périphérique partielle de la membrane en vue du mélange de l'additif dans le liquide de base.Figure 2 shows the same top of the container after the screwing movement that caused the partial peripheral tear of the membrane for mixing the additive in the base liquid.

La Figure 3 montre le sommet du flacon de la Figure 1 après enlèvement de l'obturateur dans le mouvement de dévissage sans que le mélange ait été préalablement effectué.Figure 3 shows the top of the bottle of Figure 1 after removal of the shutter in the unscrewing movement without the mixing having been carried out beforehand.

La Figure 4 représente le même sommet du flacon tel que illustré à la Figure 3 après dévissage, ce dernier suivant le mouvement de vissage de la Figure 2 en vue d'opérer le mélange des deux produits.Figure 4 shows the same top of the bottle as illustrated in Figure 3 after unscrewing, the latter following the screwing movement of Figure 2 to operate the mixing of the two products.

On voit selon l'ensemble des Figures que le conteneur principal 1 est constitué par un flacon ou fiole de type connu et en tout matériau, notamment verre minéral ou matière de synthèse.It can be seen from all of the Figures that the main container 1 consists of a bottle or flask of known type and of any material, in particular mineral glass or synthetic material.

La partie supérieure qui constitue le goulot porte de façon connue un filetage sur son pourtour extérieur pour recevoir l'opercule d'obturation 3 .The upper part which constitutes the neck carries in a known manner a thread on its outer periphery to receive the sealing cap 3.

Ce dernier comporte une jupe cylindrique 3a dont le filetage intérieur vient en position d'engagement sur le filetage extérieur du goulot 2.The latter comprises a cylindrical skirt 3a, the internal thread of which comes into the engagement position on the external thread of the neck 2.

A la base de la jupe cylindrique 3a se trouve la ceinture 3b qui est rattachée à la base de la jupe 3a par une zone de faiblesse permettant la séparation aisée de cette ceinture d'inviolabilité 3b laquelle est insérée dans une gorge 2b.At the base of the cylindrical skirt 3a is the belt 3b which is attached to the base of the skirt 3a by a zone of weakness allowing easy separation of this tamper-evident belt 3b which is inserted into a groove 2b.

La ceinture d'inviolabilité 3b reste positionnée dans sa gorge réceptrice et son intégrité par rapport à la base de la jupe cylindrique 3a permet de constater l'état normal de la bouteille en position d'attente et sans avoir subi aucun mouvement de vissage ou de dévissage.The tamper-evident belt 3b remains positioned in its receiving groove and its integrity with respect to the base of the cylindrical skirt 3a makes it possible to observe the normal state of the bottle in the waiting position and without having undergone any screwing or unscrewing.

De façon nouvelle, l'opercule 3 comporte une membrane transversale 4 qui isole à sa partie supérieure une chambre 4a contenant un liquide d'addition 4b.In a new way, the cover 3 comprises a transverse membrane 4 which isolates at its upper part a chamber 4a containing an addition liquid 4b.

Ce liquide d'addition peut être, comme précédemment indiqué, toutes substances aromatiques notamment extraits naturels lyophilisés ou tous extraits de produits à actions de condiments, d'agréments, d'aromatisations ou thérapeuthiques.This addition liquid can be, as previously indicated, all aromatic substances, in particular freeze-dried natural extracts or all extracts of products with condiments, approvals, flavorings or therapeutics.

Selon l'invention, il est souhaitable que l'utilisateur puisse, à sa volonté, mélanger le produit d'addition 4b au liquide de base la ou au contraire avoir à sa disposition le liquide de base la sans mélange.According to the invention, it is desirable that the user can, at will, mix the adduct 4b with the base liquid la or, on the contrary, have the base liquid la without mixing at his disposal.

A cet effet, l'opercule 3 permet cette double utilisation.To this end, the cover 3 allows this dual use.

Comme on le voit sur la Figure 2, le mouvement initial de vissage de l'opercule provoque la séparation de la ceinture d'inviolabilité 3b tandis que le bouchon ou opercule continue sa course vers le flacon et dans ces conditions le sommet du goulot par sa face transversale vient porter sur la membrane 4 laquelle est prévue pour céder à une faible pression et se trouve déchirée sur son bord.As seen in Figure 2, the initial screwing movement of the cover causes the separation of the tamper-evident belt 3b while the cap or cover continues its race towards the bottle and under these conditions the top of the neck by its transverse face comes to bear on the membrane 4 which is intended to yield to a low pressure and is torn on its edge.

Ce mouvement se poursuit pendant 1,2 ou 3/4 de tour jusqu'à ce que la butée 5 vienne alors en position d'appui sur la tranche transversale du goulot, la butée étant prévue pour résister au mouvement ultérieur, et le mouvement de vissage après le 1,2 ou 3/4 de tour s'arrête.This movement continues for 1.2 or 3/4 of a turn until the stop 5 then comes to rest on the transverse edge of the neck, the stop being provided to resist subsequent movement, and the movement of screwing after the 1,2 or 3/4 turn stops.

On voit que dans cette situation, telle qu'illustrée à la Figure 2, la membrane intérieure 4 s'est déchirée à sa périphérie de sorte qu'elle n'assure plus l'isolation de la capacité inférieure 4a et le liquide 4b contenu dans cette capacité est alors amené à se répandre par gravité et à rejoindre le liquide principal 1a.We see that in this situation, as illustrated in Figure 2, the inner membrane 4 tore at its periphery so that it no longer ensures the isolation of the lower capacity 4a and the liquid 4b contained in this capacity is then caused to spread by gravity and join the main liquid 1a.

On précisera que le produit d'addition pourrait être constitué par une phase pulvérulente ou même par une phase solide, le renversement éventuel de la bouteille amenant alors le liquide la à pénétrer dans la capacité supérieure 4a pour assurer le mélange et éventuellement la dissolution de tout produit actif à l'état solide contenu dans cette capacité.It will be specified that the adduct could consist of a pulverulent phase or even a solid phase, the possible overturning of the bottle then causing the liquid la to penetrate into the upper capacity 4a to ensure mixing and possibly the dissolution of any active product in the solid state contained in this capacity.

On voit que, comme représenté à la Figure 3 et à la Figure 4, il est possible au choix d'opérer le mélange ou au contraire de libérer le bouchon par dévissage initial sans vissage préalable, comme représenté à la Figure 3.We see that, as shown in Figure 3 and in Figure 4, it is possible to choose to operate the mixing or on the contrary to release the plug by initial unscrewing without prior screwing, as shown in Figure 3.

Dans l'opération de dévissage initiale (sans vissage préalable) comme on le voit sur la Figure 3, la ceinture 3b se sépare restant prisonnière à la base du goulot dans sa gorge réceptrice tandis que le bouchon peut être dévissé normalement en entraînant avec lui la réserve intérieure 4a et le produit d'addition inutilisé restant isolé par la membrane inviolée 4 ; le produit peut éventuellement être récupéré pour être utilisé en d'autres occasions le flacon pouvant être rempli d'un autre produit de base et réutilisé en d'autres circonstances, le consommateur sachant qu'il a gardé le contrôle des produits sous sa garde depuis que la bague d'inviolabilité a été retirée.In the initial unscrewing operation (without prior screwing) as seen in Figure 3, the belt 3b separates remaining captive at the base of the neck in its receiving groove while the cap can be unscrewed normally by carrying with it the inner reserve 4a and the unused adduct remaining isolated by the inviolate membrane 4; the product can possibly be recovered to be used on other occasions the bottle can be filled with another basic product and reused in other circumstances, the consumer knowing that he has kept control of the products in his care since that the tamper-evident ring has been removed.

Dans la Figure 4 on voit l'enlèvement de l'opercule après que la membrane 4 ait été séparée et après mélange des produits.In Figure 4 we see the removal of the cover after the membrane 4 has been separated and after mixing the products.

La membrane 4 pourra être avantageusement positionnée en oblique dans l'alésage du bouchon de façon à provoquer la portée du goulot lors de l'opération de vissage initial sur la seule partie la plus basse de ladite membrane qui sera seule déchirée, la membrane restant maintenue et solidaire du corps intérieur du bouchon par sa partie la plus haute, sans chute libre dans le liquide contenu dans la bouteille.The membrane 4 may advantageously be positioned obliquely in the bore of the stopper so as to cause the neck to reach the initial screwing operation on the only lowest part of said membrane which will be torn apart, the membrane remaining maintained and secured to the inner body of the stopper by its highest part, without free fall in the liquid contained in the bottle.

La figure 5 illustre une variante dans laquelle le conteneur est un simple étui notamment en matière synthétique, d'un format voisin de celui d'un étui à cigare. Dans l'application du conditionnement de produits thérapeutiques ou médicamenteux, cette forme de mise en oeuvre permet de réaliser des coffrets susceptibles de se substituer aux coffrets d'ampoules buvables; cette réalisation évite alors les opérations successives de rupture des deux extrémités de l'ampoule et la spécialité peut être ingérée sans accessoires en tous lieux et instantanément.FIG. 5 illustrates a variant in which the container is a simple case, in particular of synthetic material, of a format similar to that of a cigar case. In the application of the packaging of therapeutic or medicinal products, this form of implementation makes it possible to produce boxes capable of replacing the boxes of drinkable ampoules; this achievement then avoids successive operations of rupture of the two ends of the bulb and the specialty can be ingested without accessories anywhere and instantly.
