Description

La présente invention concerne une capsule de surbouchage destinée à coiffer un col de bouteille, et du type comportant une pastille de tête destinée à recouvrir la face d'extrémité dudit col et une jupe liée au pourtour de ladite pastille.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.

De telles capsules sont utilisées notamment pour coiffer des cols de bouteilles à vin traditionnelles ou les bouteilles à alcool. La pastille de tête qui peut être revêtue éventuellement d'un timbre représentatif de droits fiscaux et dont les dimensions sont fonction du type de bouteille, comporte des informations diverses notamment sur la provenance du produit et sa qualité. Elle sert éventuellement au suivi de la comptabilité des taxes sur les alcools.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.

Actuellement, la pastille se présente sous la forme d'un disque plan. Le pourtour de ce disque recouvre des plis formés à l'une des extrémités ouvertes de la jupe, lesdits plis recouvrant eux-mêmes la face d'extrémité annulaire du col de bouteille. La fixation de la pastille sur la zone annulaire plissée de la jupe se fait à l'aide d'outils de scellage. Il s'ensuit que le marquage des informations sur la pastille ne peut être réalisé par gaufrage sur toute la surface de la pastille car les empreintes seraient écrasées au scellement de la pastille sur la jupe.Currently, 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.

DE-U-76 09 777 propose une capsule comportant une jupe et une coiffe réalisées en papier et présentant une pluralité de plis chevauchants recouvrant la face d'extrémité du col de la bouteille.DE-U-76 09 777 proposes a capsule comprising a skirt and a cap made of paper and having a plurality of overlapping folds covering the end face of the neck of the bottle.

Le but de la présente invention est de proposer une capsule de surbouchage du type mentionné qui permette de réaliser des impressions en relief sur la pastille par emboutissage.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.

Ce but est atteint selon l'invention par les caractéristiques indiquées dans la partie caractérisante de la revendication 1.This object is achieved according to the invention by the characteristics indicated in the characterizing part of claim 1.

Selon une première variante de réalisation, la coupelle coiffe l'extrémité adjacente de la jupe.According to a first alternative embodiment, the cup covers the adjacent end of the skirt.

Selon une deuxième variante de réalisation, la coupelle est emboîtée dans l'extrémité adjacente de la jupe.According to a second alternative embodiment, the cup is fitted into the adjacent end of the skirt.

Grâce à cette disposition, l'opération de pliage de l'extrémité annulaire de la jupe est supprimée ainsi que la nécessité d'appliquer une force axiale sur la pastille afin de lier celle-ci à la jupe.Thanks to this arrangement, the folding operation of the annular end of the skirt is eliminated as well as the need to apply an axial force on the patch in order to bond the latter to the skirt.

De ce fait, la face supérieure de la capsule revêt une présentation irréprochable, pouvant servir de support idéal pour les opérations d'impressions et/ou de gaufrage.Therefore, the upper face of the capsule has an impeccable presentation, which can serve as an ideal support for printing and / or embossing operations.

D'autre part, les galets presseurs qui fixent la capsule sur le col de bouteille ne rencontrent pas d'obstacles lors de leur mouvement de va et vient le long de la jupe au cours du sertissage de la capsule sur le col de bouteille, d'où une présentation irréprochable.On the other hand, the pressure rollers which fix the capsule on the bottle neck do not encounter any obstacles during their back and forth movement along the skirt during the crimping of the capsule on the bottle neck, d 'where an impeccable presentation.

Avantageusement, la jupe est liée au rebord de la coupelle par collage.Advantageously, the skirt is linked to the rim of the cup by gluing.

Un autre but de l'invention est de proposer une capsule de surbouchage qui permette d'assurer la protection du contenu de la bouteille qui en est équipée contre des actes de malveillance et notamment contre le perçage de la coupelle et du bouchon par une seringue.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.

Ce but est atteint selon l'invention par le fait que la capsule comporte, en outre, un disque d'inviolabilité qui recouvre la face intérieure de la coupelle.This object is achieved according to the invention by the fact that the capsule further comprises a tamper-evident disc which covers the inner face of the cup.

Ce disque est avantageusement réalisé en acier inoxydable. Son épaisseur est de préférence supérieure à 0,01 mm, et inférieure à 1 mm.This disc is advantageously made of stainless steel. Its thickness is preferably greater than 0.01 mm, and less than 1 mm.
