Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an opening indicator device for bottles comprising a closure cap.
  • tamper-evident devices comprising means directly or indirectly associated with the sealing members of these bottles so that the first opening of the bottle requires or causes, on said means, a modification irreversible and visible indicating to a consumer that the bottle he wishes to acquire has already been opened or at least undergone an attempt to open.
  • said means comprise a C-shaped guarantee jumper, at least one of the branches of which is connected by a frangible zone to the ring secured to the neck.
  • the ring with which the rider is attached is fixed to the neck of the bottle before filling it, the rider being in the release position, position in which it allows the filling of the bottle and the establishment of the shutter plug. Only then will the rider is brought into the protective position above the plug, which requires the use of removable means which keep the branch portion of the rider close to the frangible zone while the remaining portion of the rider undergoes deformation to pass from the position release to the plug protection position.
  • the present invention relates to an opening indicator device which, while being of better reliability, is simpler to manufacture and to implement and of reduced cost.
  • said means comprise an element of generally circular shape secured to a connecting part connected by a frangible zone to the ring so that in the protective position, said element covers the top of the plug without substantially extending beyond this neither axially nor radially.
  • the covering element may, in the context of the invention, be an annular element, in which case the top of the plug is visible through this element, or a solid circular element, so that the above the cap is not visible through this element.
  • this element To facilitate gripping of the covering element, with a view to bringing the latter in the stopper release position, it is advantageous for this element to protrude somewhat above the top of the stopper in an area opposite the part of connection between the covering element and the ring.
  • the connecting part between the covering element and the ring may advantageously consist of a single branch, preferably substantially parallel to the axis of the plug.
  • the frangible zone between the connecting branch and the ring may preferably be formed on the ring by a part of reduced thickness surrounding the zone of connection of this branch to the ring.
  • the ring may include an inner groove receiving a retaining ring cooperating with a flange of the neck.
  • this retaining ring is a split ring.
  • This retaining ring may for example have a V-shaped profile, one wing of the V cooperating with the inner groove of the ring and the other wing of the V cooperating with a groove which defines said flange on the neck.
  • the ring bears on a shoulder of the neck, it is advantageous for the ring to have, below its internal groove, a lower skirt which comes to bear on said shoulder, said skirt comprising incipient fractures signaling any attempt of breaking into the place of this skirt.
  • the ring is formed of two half-rings, the covering element being integral with one of the half-rings and the two half-rings comprising means for their reciprocal tamper-proof assembly in a groove of the neck.
  • said assembly means may, in the context of the invention, be formed by mechanical snap-fastening means, they comprise, according to a preferred embodiment, holes and tenons fitted into said holes and held therein by gluing.
  • said holes can advantageously communicate by passages with the inner surface of the ring to allow, during the assembly of the half-rings, by interlocking of the pins in the holes, a transfer of glue from these holes to the interface of the ring with the neck, in order to immobilize the ring on the neck.
  • the opening indicator device according to the invention can be made of various materials, the covering element, the connection part and the ring or one of the half-rings being preferably made in one piece by molding. in light alloy, for example in "Zamak".
  • the opening indicator device 1 for the neck 2 of a bottle, closed by a stopper 3 comprises a ring 4 and a covering element 5 integral with the ring 4 by a connecting branch 6.
  • the ring 4 has an inner groove 7 in which is mounted a retaining ring 8, preferably split.
  • this retaining ring 8 has a V-shaped profile, with a substantially vertical outer branch 9 engaged in the groove 7 of the ring 4 and an inclined inner branch 10 engaged in an outer groove 11 of the neck 2.
  • the connecting branch 6 Around the connection part of the connecting branch 6 to the ring 4, the latter has a zone 12 of reduced thickness, the function of which will appear subsequently.
  • the connecting branch 6 extends substantially parallel to the axis of the bottle between the ring 4 and the covering element 5.
  • the covering element 5 has a generally flat and circular shape, the diameter of which corresponds to the diameter of the plug 3, in such a way that the element 5 covers the top of the plug 3.
  • the element 5 comprises, however, in an area located at the opposite of the connecting branch 6, a part 13 projecting in the form of a crescent on the generally circular shape of the element 5, this part 13 radially protruding the plug 3 in the manner of a visor (see FIGS. 1 and 3 ).
  • the opening indicator device 1 is placed on the neck so that the element 5 covers the top of the cap 3.
  • the ring 4 is made integral with the neck 2, fracture initiators 14 provided on a skirt 15 extending the ring 4 downward and bearing on a shoulder 16 of the neck 2 can also be provided to signal any attempted break-in at the location of the ring.
  • the entire opening indicator device 1, namely the ring 4, the covering element 5 and the connecting branch 6, is made in one piece by molding in metal, for example in light alloy such as "Zamak", or also of other materials, for example plastic.
  • the opening indicator device 1 as illustrated in FIGS. 5 to 9 takes up the general characteristics of the device 1 according to FIGS. 1 to 4 (covering element 5 connected by a connecting branch 6 to a ring 4 comprising a zone 12 of reduced thickness at the point of connection of the connecting branch 6).
  • the neck 2 of the bottle is here closed by a stopper 3 whose diameter is greater than the outside diameter of the neck 2, so that the ring 4 cannot be fitted from the top onto the neck 2, over the plug 3.
  • the ring 4 here consists of two half-rings 4a and 4b, each of which internally has a profile complementary to the external profile of the neck 2, the two half-rings 4a and 4b being assembled together around the neck. 2.
  • the covering element 5 is connected by the connecting part 6 to one of the half-rings, namely the half-ring 4a.
  • the half-ring 4a has in each of its two end faces 17 situated in the same plane, a blind hole 18 here having a profile composed of two semicircles connected by two parallel straight lines, the section of each hole 18 decreasing towards the rounded bottom of the hole 18. It should be noted that a slot 19 extends between each hole 18 and the interior surface of the half-ring 4a, from the opening of the hole 18 over part of the depth of the latter, namely up to the rounding of the bottom of the hole 18.
  • the half-ring 4a externally comprises a tongue 20 projecting from one of the end faces 17 and a step 21 recessed in the other end face 17.
  • the other half-ring 4b comprises, on each of two end faces 22 located in the same plane, a stud 23 having a profile adapted to the profile of the holes 18 of the half-ring 4a.
  • Each tenon 23 has, distributed around its periphery, four longitudinal zones 24 slightly in relief with respect to the remaining part of the profile of the tenon 23.
  • the half-ring 4b has externally a tongue 25 projecting from one of its end faces 22, in a similar manner to the tongue 20 of the half-ring 4a, and a step 26 recessed in the other end face 22, similar to the step 21 of the half-ring 4a.
  • this opening indicator device 1 To set up this opening indicator device 1 on the bottle neck 2 closed by the cap 3, according to FIG. 5, a predetermined quantity of adhesive is deposited in each of the holes 18 of the half-ring 4a.
  • the half-ring 4a is then presented on one side of the neck 2 so that the covering element 5 integral with the half-ring 4a covers the plug 3, and the other half-ring 4b on the opposite side of the neck 2, so that the two half-rings are face to face in the manner illustrated in FIG. 7.
  • the pins 23 of the half-ring 4b penetrate the holes 18 of the half-ring 4a and the adhesive previously deposited in the holes 18 is thus pushed back in part towards the end faces 17, in the intervals between the zones 24 in relief on the studs 23, and in part through the slots 19 towards the interface between the half-ring 4a and the external surface of the neck 2, thus making the half-ring 4a integral with the neck.
  • the tongues 20 and 25 penetrating into the tiers 21 and 26 cover the assembly plane of the two half-rings 4a and 4b and thus hide any excess glue which could overflow at the location of the end surfaces 17 and 22 of the two half-rings 4a and 4b.
  • the opening indicator device 1 can be produced by molding in metal, for example in light alloy, or in plastic, but in two pieces, one comprising the half-ring 4a, the element cover 5 and the connecting branch 6, and the other the half-ring 4b.
  • V-shaped retaining ring 8 of the embodiment of FIGS. 1 to 4 could be replaced by a retaining ring having another profile, depending on the grooves provided in the ring 4, on the one hand, and in the neck 2 of the bottle, on the other hand.
  • the covering element 5 and the connecting branch 6 could have shapes different from those shown, in adaptation to the general shape of the stopper 3 closing the neck 2 of the bottle.
  • frangible zone 12 between the connecting branch 6 and the ring 4 could also be produced differently.
  • holes 18 and tenons 23 of the two half-rings 4a and 4b of the embodiment of FIGS. 5 to 9 could be replaced by other tamper-evident assembly means, for example snap-fastening means.
