Definitions

  • the invention relates to an assembly for capping a bottle or similar of the type comprising a cap screwed on 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 manufacturing games, which are relatively important in the case of glass vials. Indeed, the tightening limit is fixed by the end of the threads of the bottle and the cap, which must allow end of tightening before the cap comes in contact with the bottle. The result is an unsightly day between the bottom of the cap and the bottle.
  • a leaf spring, mounted in its central part at the end of the internal threaded ring is fixed at its ends in the walls of the part fitted into the cover so as to be able allow relative rotation of the hubcap relative to the internal threaded ring and allow the fitting of the hubcap relative to the threaded cap in position closure in an aligned position of the sections of the bottle and of the hubcap.
  • a closure set of this type is of a complicated structure and assembly and of a cost relatively high due to the need for a room additional as the spring.
  • the presence of this metal part causes cracking and the like metal noises on plastic under tension extreme reducing the comfort of use.
  • the present invention therefore aims to overcome this problem by means of a new closure set allowing to remove the clearance or day between the cap and the bottle, while maintaining an excellent presentation which can even be improved compared to a traditional corking.
  • closure assembly includes the features of claim 1.
  • the elastic tabs of the inner ring provide support without play of the external lower ring on the bottle, the cap applied directly or indirectly to the outer lower ring by its translation.
  • the ring lower external therefore plays the role of an absorbent cover construction games.
  • the cap is integral in rotation with said external 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 outer lower ring contacts with the bottle, the elastic tabs of the inner ring are deform by keeping the outer lower ring pressed elastically on the bottle, the cap remaining integral with the hubcap.
  • the elastic tabs of the ring interior have a notch cooperating with a tongue of the outer lower ring.
  • the cap is mounted sliding and pivoting on the inner ring and cooperating by its base, directly or indirectly, with the edge upper of the lower outer ring.
  • the first variant can be applied particularly to a open neck, providing that the inner ring is closed at its upper part, the internal face of said part upper preferably having a sealing plug self-joining.
  • the second variant is particularly useful for a bottle refillable vaporizer whose neck is closed by a pump set which is discovered by extraction of the cap.
  • a rod is mounted oscillating at the base of the cap with a rib internal triangular section housed in an external groove of the cap, which ensures a perfect seal between this rod and the lower outer ring.
  • the capping assembly includes an inner ring 1 provided with a closed thread 2 by a web 3 at its upper end, said web 3 with a sealing cap on its underside self-sealing 4.
  • the inner ring 1 is provided with two tabs diametrically opposite and inclined elastics 5 externally downwards, as well as two external grooves axial 6 offset by 90 ° with respect to the legs 5.
  • An outer lower ring 7 forming a cover 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 - tabs 12 cooperation.
  • the legs 5 of the outer lower ring 7 have each a notch 13 cooperating with the tongue 12 corresponding to the hubcap 7.
  • the hubcap 7 comprises at in addition to two tongues 14, arranged at 90 ° to 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 each other, the inner ring 1 being somehow elastically suspended, by through the 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 an outer surface 23 which is cylindrical of revolution.
  • Cap 8 has a ring inner 24 with 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 includes an outer peripheral groove 26 in which is housed a lip 27 with a triangular section of a ring 28, so that ring 28 can come apply tightly, tilting slightly, on the edge upper cover 7.
