Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an overcapping capsule intended to cap a bottle neck, and of the type comprising a head patch intended to cover the end face of said collar and a skirt linked to the periphery of said patch.
  • Such capsules are used in particular for styling the necks of traditional wine bottles or alcohol bottles.
  • the top pad which may optionally be coated with a stamp representative of tax duties and whose dimensions depend on the type of bottle, includes various information in particular on the origin of the product and its quality. It may be used to monitor the accounting of alcohol taxes.
  • the pellet is in the form of a flat disc.
  • the periphery of this disc covers folds formed at one of the open ends of the skirt, said folds themselves covering the annular end face of the bottle neck.
  • the patch is fixed to the pleated annular area of the skirt using sealing tools. It follows that the marking of the information on the patch cannot be carried out by embossing on the entire surface of the patch because the imprints would be crushed when the patch is sealed on the skirt.
  • the object of the present invention is to propose an overcaping capsule of the type mentioned which allows for relief printing on the patch by stamping.
  • the invention achieves its object by the fact that the head pad is in the form of a rim cup, said skirt and said pellet being linked at the level of the rim of the cup.
  • the cup covers the adjacent end of the skirt.
  • the cup is fitted into the adjacent end of the skirt.
  • the upper face of the capsule has an integrity presentation, which can serve as an ideal support for printing and / or embossing operations.
  • the skirt is linked to the rim of the cup by gluing.
  • Another object of the invention is to propose an overcapping capsule which makes it possible to ensure the protection of the contents of the bottle which is equipped with it against malicious acts and in particular against piercing of the cup and the stopper by a syringe.
  • the capsule further comprises a tamper-evident disc which covers the inner face of the cup.
  • This disc is advantageously made of stainless steel. Its thickness is preferably greater than 0.01 mm, and less than 1 mm.
  • Reference 1 designates an overcap capsule intended to cap the upper end 2 of a neck 3 of a wine bottle.
  • This capsule 1 comprises, in a traditional manner, a head pad 4 intended to cover the upper face 5 of the neck 3 and a skirt 6 linked to the pad 4 and intended to be pressed against the side wall 7 of the neck 3, by crimping.
  • the dimensions of the capsule 1 are adapted to the dimensions of the neck 3 which must be equipped with it.
  • the neck 3 generally has a ring 8 disposed at a distance d from the upper face 5 of the neck 3.
  • the skirt 6 is in a frustoconical shape, and the patch 4 is in the form of a rim cup 9.
  • the rim 9 of the cup 4 is linked to the upper annular zone 10 of the skirt 6 by gluing.
  • the cup 4 covers the narrowest end of the skirt 6.
  • the cup 4 is fitted into the adjacent end of the skirt 6.
  • the depth of the cup 4 is preferably substantially less than or equal to the distance d defined above, so that the rim 9 extends at most up to the vicinity of the ring 8, when the capsule 1 covers the neck. 3 of bottle.
  • a tamper-evident disc 11 is disposed at the bottom of the cup 4. This disc 11 is linked to the cup 4 by a point of glue 13. It covers at least the central part of the inner face of the cup 4, in such a way that when the capsule 1 is placed on the neck 3, the disc 11 covers the upper end of the plug 12. Preferably, the disc 11 also covers at least partially the annular end of the neck 3.
  • the characteristics of the disc 11, namely the choice of the constituent material and the thickness of the disc 11, are chosen so as to prevent malicious acts and in particular the penetration of a syringe through the disc 11.
  • the disc 11 is made of stainless steel in the hardened metallic state and it has a thickness of between 0.01 mm and 1 mm and preferably between 0.02 mm and 0.05 mm.
  • the disc 11 can be made of any other material which is difficult to pierce, such as ceramic, porcelain, polyamides, polyolefins, polyacetals, P.V.C., polystyrenes, polyesters, thermosetting resins or with several components.
  • the skirt 6 and the cup 4 are preferably produced in a known manner from a sheet or strip of multilayer complex preferably comprising two sheets of aluminum arranged on either side of a polyethylene sheet.
  • the grammage of the polyethylene sheet is preferably between 30g / m2 and 80g / m2.
  • the thickness of the aluminum sheets is between 8 and 40 micrometers.
  • the aluminum sheet placed inside the capsule has a thickness of 12 micrometers
  • the grammage of the polyethylene sheet is 50 g / m2
  • the thickness of the outer aluminum sheet has a thickness of 25 micrometers. This type of complex avoids wrinkles during the crimping of the cap 1 on the neck 3 of the bottle.
  • the strip of complex may also comprise an adhesive surface layer.
  • the skirt 6 and the cup 4 can also be produced either from a strip of the same material, for example, aluminum, tin, PVC, polystyrene, polypropylene, polyester, or from strips of composite materials, coated papers , assemblies using microcrystalline waxes or polyolefins.
  • FIGS. 8 to 10 show a production line for cups 4 from a strip 20 of multilayer complex or from a strip of material generally pre-printed for capsules unwound step by step from an unwinder 21.
  • the station for hot transfer of impressions on the underside of the strip 20 by 23, the station for forming a relief by stamping by 24, the station for calibrating the relief by 25, the relief anchor station; by 26, the precut of the cup; by 27, the stamping of the cup; by 28, the cutting of the cup 4; by 29, the reel for recovering the waste strip; by 30, the receiving station for the cup 4 finished; by 31 depositing an adhesive joint 13 inside the cup 4; by 32, cutting and installing the tamper-evident disc 11; by 33, the cup ejection station 4; and by 34, the transfer station on the capper spindle 35.
  • the tamper-evident disc 11 can be produced by pouring a plastic material into the bottom of the cup 4.
