Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for capping a container fitted with a neck, of the flask or jar type, a device of the type of those which comprise on the one hand a cylindrical sleeve suitable for surrounding the neck, this sleeve being mounted rotatable around the neck and, on the other hand, a tray-shaped cover, articulated around a transverse axis so as to be able to pivot between a closed position where the cover is applied against the end of the neck and a position d opening where the lid is inclined relative to the axis of the neck and frees a passage for the exit of a product contained in the container.
  • a device of this type is known in which the cover is articulated on an intermediate piece screwed and locked on a thread of the neck, while the cylindrical sleeve, independent of said piece, can rotate around the axis of the neck while the piece and the cover remain stationary in rotation about this axis.
  • the rotation movement of the sleeve makes it possible to control the pivoting of the cover around the transverse axis, orthogonal to the axis of the neck.
  • Such a closure device is interesting because it combines, in a way, the advantages of the screw cap and the slammed cap with service capsule opening, without having the disadvantages.
  • the screw cap is generally considered to be the most cosmetic opening and closing means and the most appreciated by buyers.
  • the second closing mode with a slam-stopper, to which a closing system with articulation has been added has advantages in terms of convenience and speed of movement.
  • This second method of closing on the other hand, has the disadvantage of having a tendency to open on its own in the transport bags.
  • the closure device of the kind of the invention avoids the drawbacks mentioned above.
  • the object of the invention is, above all, to provide a closure device of the kind in question which, while ensuring opening or closing, by pivoting of a cover, controlled by a rotational movement of a sleeve, either d '' simpler and more economical manufacturing.
  • the cam means are provided on the neck while the cam follower member is integral with the cover.
  • the neck of the container has a primary neck surmounted by a secondary neck of smaller diameter
  • the means for hooking the sleeve comprise, on the neck side, a circular bead provided on the outer wall of the primary neck, and sleeve side, a complementary bead provided on the inner wall of the sleeve, and suitable for snapping behind the bead of the primary neck.
  • the cam means advantageously consist of a helical rib provided on the secondary neck of the container.
  • the cam follower member can be constituted by an extension extending from the underside of the cover and comprising a groove in which is engaged the helical ramp of the secondary neck of the neck.
  • the ramp of the neck can be replaced by a groove while the groove of the extension would be replaced by a projecting pin suitable for engaging in said groove.
  • the helical ramp may include, at each end, stops limiting the rotational movement.
  • the angle of the ramp and its profile are chosen according to the desired opening conditions. For example, the ramp can extend substantially over half a turn.
  • the cover comprises, under its lower face, a sealing skirt suitable for entering the upper end of the secondary neck of the neck, and for closing it, when the cover is in the closed position.
  • the cover may include a radial channel with an internal orifice and an external orifice, the assembly being such that in the closed position of the cover, the internal orifice is blocked by the top of the secondary neck while the external orifice is blocked. through the inner wall of the sleeve.
  • the invention consists, apart from the arrangements set out above, of a certain number of other arrangements which will be more explicitly discussed below in connection with an exemplary embodiment described with reference to the attached drawing, but which is by no means limiting.
  • Figure 1 of this drawing is an axial vertical section of a closure device according to the invention, in the closed position.
  • Figure 2 shows, similarly to Figure 1, the closure device in the open position.
  • Figure 3 is a top view with respect to Figure 1.
  • Figure 4 is a top view of the neck, while the closure device is not in place.
  • Figure 5 is an elevational view, on a larger scale, of the upper part of the neck, in the absence of the closure device.
  • the bottle has a cylindrical neck 1, with circular section.
  • the container body may have a cross-sectional shape oval to which corresponds the shape of an outer skirt 2 of the closure device B, as illustrated in FIG. 3.
  • the neck 1 of the bottle has a primary neck 3 of larger diameter surmounted by a secondary neck 4 coaxial whose open upper end 5 constitutes the outlet orifice of the container.
  • the closure device B comprises, inside the skirt 2, a cylindrical sleeve 6 suitable for surrounding the neck 1.
  • Hooking means A are provided between the sleeve 6 and the neck 1 to allow relative rotational movement of the sleeve 6 around the axis X of the neck without causing axial displacement of the sleeve 6 relative to the neck 1.
  • the attachment means A comprise, on the neck side, a circular bead 7 whose mean plane is orthogonal to the axis X of the neck.
  • This bead 7 comprises a cylindrical zone 7 a (FIG. 5) of reduced axial dimension.
  • This zone 7 a is connected to the cylindrical surface of the primary neck 3, on the side of the secondary neck 4, by a frustoconical surface 7 b whose generatrices are slightly inclined on the axis X.
  • zone 7 a is connected to the primary neck 3 by another frustoconical surface 7 c whose generatrices are more inclined relative to the axis X.
  • the hooking means A comprise a bead 8 provided on the inner wall of the sleeve and suitable for snapping behind the bead 7 of the primary neck 3.
  • the mean plane of the bead 8 is orthogonal to the axis sleeve 6.
  • a cover 9 in the form of a plate is articulated on the sleeve 6 so as to be able to pivot between a closed position (FIG. 1) where the cover 9 is applied against the end 5 of the neck, and an open position where the cover 9 is inclined relative to the axis X of the container and frees a passage for the exit of the product.
  • the cover 9, in the example considered, has the shape of a substantially rectangular plate which fits into a corresponding opening provided in a transverse wall 10 provided at the upper end of the sleeve 6.
  • the cover 9 is articulated, along a small side, on the sleeve 6, using a film hinge 11 so that the skirt 2, the sleeve 6 and the cover 9 form a single piece or capsule.
  • the edge 12 of the cover 9, opposite the hinge 11, is limited by an arc of a circle suitable for fitting against the internal surface of the sleeve 6 in the closed position of the cover 9 as visible in FIG. 1.
  • a sealing skirt 13, cylindrical, is provided under the inner face of the cover 9. This skirt 13 is suitable for entering and closing the upper end 5 of the secondary neck 4 when the cover 9 is in the closed position.
  • the sealing skirt 13 has a determined axial length so that this skirt remains in contact with the inside of the neck 4 when the cover 9 has pivoted upwards as much as illustrated in FIG. 2. However, in an angular zone d 'reduced extent, the skirt clears a passage allowing the liquid product from the container 1 to flow towards the outside, through a radial channel 14 provided in the cover 9.
  • the internal orifice 15 of the channel 14 is blocked, in position for closing the cover 9, by the upper wall of the secondary neck 4, while the external orifice 16 is blocked by the internal wall of the sleeve 6.
  • Cam means C are provided on the secondary neck 4 of the neck. These cam means C are advantageously constituted by a helical rib 17 constituting a ramp.
  • the rib 17 extends substantially over 180 °, as visible in FIG. 4.
  • Each end of the rib 17 has a stop respectively 18, 19 to limit the rotational movement of the sleeve 6.
  • a cam follower member 20 secured to the cover 9 is provided to cooperate with the rib 17.
  • the member 20 is constituted by an extension, forming a sort of stud, perpendicular to the mean plane of the cover 9 and located in line with the channel 14 which has its axis located in the mediating plane of the cover 9, equidistant from the long sides of this cover.
  • the extension 20 comprises, towards its lower end, on its wall adjacent to the neck 4, a groove 21 in which the helical ramp 17 is engaged.
  • the closed position is obtained by placing the sleeve 6 in the angular position where the groove 21 cooperates with the lower end of the ramp 17.
  • the sleeve 6 is turned relative to the neck 1, in the appropriate direction to cause the groove 21 to rise along the rib 17.
  • the cover 9 occupies the position of FIG. 2 for which the external orifice 16 of the channel 14 is located beyond the edge of the sleeve 6 and the internal orifice 15 of this channel 14 communicates with the space inside the neck 4.
  • the angle of inclination of the rib or ramp 17 relative to the axis X and the profile of this rib can be chosen and modified at will, for example so that the opening of the cover 9 occurs only in the last third of the rotation movement of the sleeve 6.
  • the opening is obtained by a 180 ° rotation of the sleeve 6 relative to the neck 1.
  • This embodiment can be modified so that a 90 ° rotation of the sleeve 6 is sufficient to obtain the total opening.
  • the closure device of the invention is simple and economical to manufacture since the cover 9, the sleeve 6, and the skirt 2 when it exists, can be molded in one piece.
