Definitions

  • the invention relates to a closure assembly for a bottle or the like of the type comprising a cap screwed onto the neck of the bottle or the like.
  • a disadvantage of these closures is that, when the cap and the bottle are rigid, it is not possible to absorb the manufacturing clearances, which are relatively large in the case of glass bottles. Indeed, the screwing limit is fixed by the end of the threads of the bottle and the cap, which must allow a screwing end before the cap comes into contact with the bottle. This results in an unsightly day between the bottom of the cap and the bottle.
  • the present invention therefore aims to alleviate this problem by means of a new closure assembly making it possible to eliminate the play or day between the cap and the bottle, while retaining an excellent presentation which can even be improved compared to a traditional closure. .
  • the closure assembly is characterized in that it comprises an internal threaded ring for screwing onto the neck, an external lower ring which is integral in rotation with said internal ring but free in translation, said internal ring being provided with elastic tabs bearing on said outer lower ring, and a cap movable in translation relative to said inner ring.
  • the elastic tabs of the internal ring ensure a playless support of the external lower ring on the bottle, the cap coming to apply, directly or indirectly, on the external lower ring by its translation.
  • the outer lower ring therefore plays the role of a hub cap absorbing construction play.
  • the cap is integral in rotation with said outer lower ring, for example by snap-fastening and cooperation by grooves and tongues.
  • the internal threaded ring descends on the neck and, as soon as the lower edge of the external lower ring comes into contact with the bottle, the elastic tabs of the internal ring are deformed while keeping the external lower ring pressed elastically on the bottle, the cap remaining integral with the hubcap.
  • the elastic tabs of the inner ring have a notch cooperating with a tongue of the outer lower ring.
  • the cap is slidably and pivotally mounted on the inner ring and cooperates by its base, directly or indirectly, with the upper edge of the outer lower ring.
  • the first variant can be applied particularly to an open neck, by providing that the inner ring is closed at its upper part, the internal face of said upper part preferably comprising a self-sealing sealing plug.
  • the second variant is particularly useful for a refillable spray bottle whose neck is closed by a crimped pump which is discovered by extraction from the cap.
  • a rod is mounted oscillating at the base of the cap with an internal rib of triangular section housed in an external groove of the cap, which makes it possible to ensure a seal. perfect between this ring and the lower outer ring.
  • the closure assembly comprises an internal ring 1 provided with a thread 2 closed by a veil 3 at its upper end, said veil 3 carrying on its lower face a self-sealing sealing plug 4.
  • the inner ring 1 is provided with two elastic legs 5 diametrically opposite and inclined outwardly downward, as well as two axial external grooves 6 offset by 90 ° relative to the legs 5.
  • An outer lower ring 7 forming a hubcap carries a cap 8 snapped on by lugs 9 on lugs 10 of the hubcap 7 and secured in rotation with the cap 8 by a grooves 11 - tongues 12 cooperation.
  • the tabs 5 of the outer lower ring 7 each have a notch 13 cooperating with the corresponding tongue 12 of the hubcap 7.
  • the hubcap 7 further comprises two tongues 14, arranged at 90 ° from the tongues 12, and cooperating with the grooves 6 of the inner ring 1.
  • the inner ring 1 and the hubcap 7, which carries the cap 8, are thus integral in rotation but free in translation relative to one another, the inner ring 1 being in a way resiliently suspended, via legs 5, in the trim block 7 - cap 8.
  • the neck 16 of the bottle 17 is closed by a pump 20 actuated by a pusher 21.
  • the internal ring 1 locks the pump 20 and carries a clipped ring 22 with external surface 23 which is cylindrical in revolution.
  • the cap 8 has an inner ring 24 with an outer surface 25 also cylindrical of revolution, so that the cap 8 can slide and pivot on the inner ring 1.
  • the lower edge of the cap 8 further comprises an external peripheral groove 26 in which is housed a lip 27 of triangular section of a ring 28, so that the ring 28 can be applied tightly, by rocking slightly, on the upper edge of the hubcap 7.
