Abstract
Description
La présente invention se rapporte à une capsule de bouchage inviolable moulée d'une seule pièce, pour des récipients comportant un col avec une unique collerette extérieure d'accrochage située à faible distance du bord supérieur du col du récipient.The present invention relates to a tamper-evident closure cap molded in one piece, for containers having a neck with a single external attachment collar located a short distance from the upper edge of the neck of the container.
On connaît des capsules moulées d'une seule pièce en matière plastique pour le bouchage inviolable de bouteilles, ces capsules comprenant un anneau muni d'un bourrelet intérieur d'accrochage au col de la bouteille à boucher, un bouchon relié par une charnière audit anneau en un point du pourtour de la capsule, et une bande d'inviolabilité reliant le bouchon à l'anneau sur la partie restante du pourtour de la capsule, jusqu'au déchirage de cette bande lors de la première ouverture. Ces capsules connues sont destinées au bouchage de bouteilles en matière plastique dont le col comporte, en plus d'une collerette inférieure de soutien pour l'opération de capsulage, deux collerettes d'accrochage superposées parmi lesquelles la collerette d'accrochage la plus basse, située au-dessus de la collerette de soutien, sert à l'accrochage de l'anneau et la collerette plus haute à l'accrochage du bouchon muni également à cet effet d'un bourrelet intérieur.Capsules molded in a single piece of plastic are known for the tamper-evident closure of bottles, these capsules comprising a ring provided with an internal bead for attachment to the neck of the bottle to be corked, a cap connected by a hinge to said ring. at a point on the periphery of the capsule, and a tamper-evident band connecting the stopper to the ring on the remaining part of the periphery of the capsule, until this band is torn during the first opening. These known capsules are intended for capping plastic bottles, the neck of which comprises, in addition to a lower support flange for the capping operation, two superimposed fastening flanges, including the lowest fastening flange, located above the support flange, is used for hanging the ring and the higher flange for hanging the plug also provided for this purpose with an internal bead.
Ces capsules de bouchage connues remplissent parfaitement leur fonction sur les bouteilles pour lesquelles elles ont été conçues.These known closure caps perfectly fulfill their function on the bottles for which they were designed.
Toutefois, les bouteilles en question présentent l'inconvénient de nécessiter, pour un diamètre d'ouverture donné du col, une hauteur de col relativement importante due à la présence des deux collerettes d'accrochage superposés. De même, les capsules qui équipent les bouteilles présentent une hauteur correspondante et également un diamètre relativement important déterminé par le diamètre de la collerette d'accrochage inférieure qui doit avoir un diamètre supérieur au diamètre de la collerette d'accrochage supérieure, pour permettre le double encliquetage de la capsule sur le col (encliquetage de l'anneau sur la collerette inférieure et encliquetage du bouchon sur la collerette supérieure).However, the bottles in question have the drawback of requiring, for a given opening diameter of the neck, a relatively large neck height due to the presence of the two superimposed hooking collars. Similarly, the capsules which equip the bottles have a corresponding height and also a relatively large diameter determined by the diameter of the lower hooking collar which must have a diameter greater than the diameter of the upper hooking collar, to allow double snap-on of the capsule on the neck (snap on the ring on the lower flange and snap on the cap on the upper flange).
Or, dans le cas de produits de très grande consommation tels que des produits alimentaires, il est intéressant, afin de réduire le poids et donc le coût de la bouteille et de la capsule qui l'équipe, de munir la bouteille d'un col à collerette d'accrochage unique, ce col pouvant être à la fois plus court et de diamètre extérieur plus faible que le col à double collerette d'accrochage. Cependant, on ne connaît pas de capsules du type défini ci-dessus pour de telles bouteilles à col court.However, in the case of very consumer products such as of food products, it is interesting, in order to reduce the weight and therefore the cost of the bottle and the capsule which equips it, to provide the bottle with a collar with a unique hanging collar, this collar being able to be times shorter and smaller outside diameter than the collar with double attachment collar. However, no capsules of the type defined above are known for such short neck bottles.
La présente invention vise une capsule de bouchage qui, sur un col de récipient court à collerette d'accrochage unique, assume non seulement les fonctions des capsules connues (fermeture étanche, inviolabilité, caractère imperdable du bouchon), mais assure en plus le maintien du bouchon en position ouverte, cette capsule pouvant, notamment par son poids réduit et sa fabrication simple, être réalisée à un prix de revient compétitif.The present invention relates to a closure cap which, on a short container neck with a single attachment flange, not only assumes the functions of known capsules (tight closure, tamper-evident, captive nature of the cap), but also ensures maintenance of the plug in the open position, this capsule being able, in particular by its reduced weight and its simple manufacture, to be produced at a competitive cost price.
La capsule de bouchage, objet de l'invention, moulée d'une seule pièce, comprend un anneau muni intérieurement d'un bourrelet pour son accrochage par encliquetage derrière une collerette extérieure du col du récipient à boucher. Cette capsule comprend, en outre, un bouchon relié par une charnière audit anneau et muni d'une jupe d'étanchéité coopérant avec l'intérieur du col du récipient. La capsule comprend, en outre, une bande d'inviolabilité reliant le bouchon à l'anneau, jusqu'à son déchirage lors de la première ouverture. Pour le bouchage d'un récipient comportant une unique collerette d'accrochage située à distance du bord supérieur du col du récipient, le bouchon comprend une surface d'appui annulaire portant sur le bord supérieur du col et entourant une jupe d'étanchéité faisant saillie à partir de ladite surface d'appui sur une longueur au moins égale à la distance entre le flanc inférieur de la collerette d'accrochage et le bord supérieur du col du récipient. La charnière reliant le bouchon à l'anneau est décalée, par rapport à ladite surface d'appui, en direction de l'anneau, d'une valeur au moins égale à ladite distance.The closure cap, object of the invention, molded in one piece, comprises a ring provided internally with a bead for its hooking by snapping behind an external flange of the neck of the container to be capped. This capsule further comprises a plug connected by a hinge to said ring and provided with a sealing skirt cooperating with the inside of the neck of the container. The capsule further comprises a tamper-evident band connecting the stopper to the ring, until it is torn during the first opening. For the closure of a container comprising a single hooking collar located at a distance from the upper edge of the container neck, the stopper comprises an annular bearing surface bearing on the upper edge of the neck and surrounding a protruding sealing skirt from said bearing surface over a length at least equal to the distance between the lower flank of the attachment flange and the upper edge of the container neck. The hinge connecting the plug to the ring is offset, with respect to said bearing surface, in the direction of the ring, by a value at least equal to said distance.
Grâce à ces caractéristiques, le bouchon qui, après déchirage de la bande d'inviolabilité, reste solidaire de l'anneau, vient s'appuyer, lors de son ouverture, par sa jupe d'étanchéité sur le bord supérieur du goulot, dans une position d'ouverture à 90° ou plus, et se trouve ainsi maintenu de façon stable en position d'ouverture en vue du vidage du contenu du récipient.Thanks to these characteristics, the stopper which, after tearing of the tamper-evident band, remains integral with the ring, comes to bear, when it is opened, by its sealing skirt on the upper edge of the neck, in a open position at 90 ° or more, and is thus held stably in the open position for emptying the contents of container.
De préférence, la longueur de la jupe d'étanchéité du bouchon est supérieure à ladite distance entre le flanc inférieur de la collerette d'accrochage du col et le bord supérieur du col.Preferably, the length of the sealing skirt of the plug is greater than said distance between the lower flank of the collar for attaching the neck and the upper edge of the neck.
Dans le cas de récipients sur lesquels ladite distance est très faible, il est avantageux d'excentrer la surface extérieure de la jupe d'étanchéité en direction de la charnière par rapport au pourtour extérieur circulaire du bouchon de la capsule.In the case of containers on which said distance is very small, it is advantageous to offset the outer surface of the sealing skirt in the direction of the hinge relative to the circular outer periphery of the cap of the capsule.
En vue d'obtenir cette excentration, il est possible de faire en sorte que la surface intérieure de la jupe soit centrée par rapport au pourtour extérieur circulaire du bouchon de la capsule, et de donner à la jupe d'étanchéité, du côté de la charnière, une épaisseur (radiale) plus importante que du côté opposé.In order to obtain this eccentricity, it is possible to ensure that the interior surface of the skirt is centered relative to the circular outer periphery of the cap of the capsule, and to give the sealing skirt, on the side of the hinge, a thickness (radial) greater than on the opposite side.
En se référant aux dessins schématiques annexés, on va décrire ci-après plus en détail un mode de réalisation illustratif et non limitatif d'une capsule de bouchage conforme à l'invention. Sur les dessins :
- la figure 1 est une vue latérale extérieure de la capsule sur un col de bouteille;
- la figure 2 est une coupe suivant II-II de la figure 1;
- la figure 3 est une coupe analogue à celle de la figure 2, le bouchon étant ouvert;
- la figure 4 est une coupe d'une variante du bouchon, suivant IV-IV de la figure 3.
- Figure 1 is an external side view of the capsule on a bottle neck;
- Figure 2 is a section along II-II of Figure 1;
- Figure 3 is a section similar to that of Figure 2, the cap being open;
- FIG. 4 is a section through a variant of the plug, according to IV-IV of FIG. 3.
Selon les figures 1 et 2, le col 1 d'un récipient non représenté en détail, par exemple une bouteille en PET [poly(téréphtalate d'éthylène)], comporte extérieurement une collerette 2 de soutien pour l'opération de capsulage et, au-dessus de la collerette de soutien 2, une unique collerette d'accrochage 3 dont le flanc inférieur 4 se trouve à une distance h1 du bord supérieur 5 du col 1. Le diamètre intérieur ou diamètre d'ouverture du col 1 est référencé d1 et le diamètre extérieur de la collerette d'accrochage 3 est référencé d2.According to FIGS. 1 and 2, the
Le col 1 est bouché à l'aide d'une capsule 6 réalisée d'une seule pièce par moulage en matière plastique. La capsule 6 comprend un anneau 7, un bouchon 8 et une bande d'inviolabilité 9.The
L'anneau 7 est muni intérieurement d'un bourrelet 10 pour son accrochage par encliquetage en dessous du jonc d'accrochage 3 du col 1.The ring 7 is internally provided with a
Le bouchon 8 comprend un disque 11 définissant une surface annulaire d'appui 12 entourant une jupe d'étanchéité tubulaire 13 de longueur ℓ. Le bouchon 8 présente par ailleurs, en un point de son pourtour, à l'extérieur de la surface annulaire d'appui 12, une patte 14 faisant saillie en direction de l'anneau 7 et se raccordant à l'anneau 7 par une partie 15 de faible épaisseur, formant charnière. La charnière 15 est espacée d'une distance h2 de la surface annulaire d'appui 12.The
L'anneau 7 est échancré dans le haut en 16 à l'endroit de la charnière 15 (voir figure 1) et le bourrelet 10 de l'anneau 7 est interrompu à cet endroit.The ring 7 is indented at the top at 16 at the location of the hinge 15 (see FIG. 1) and the
La bande d'inviolabilité 9 relie le bouchon 8 à l'anneau 7 sur tout le pourtour, sauf à l'endroit de la patte 14, donc de la charnière 15, et est arrachable en vue de la première ouverture de la capsule. L'anneau 9 comporte à cet effet une patte d'arrachage 17 à une extrémité.The tamper-evident band 9 connects the
A l'opposé de la patte 14 et donc de la charnière 15, le bouchon 8 comporte un prolongement 18 facilitant sa préhension en vue de l'ouverture.Opposite the
Alors que sur la figure 1, la bande d'inviolabilité 9 reliée par exemple par des voiles minces déchirables au bouchon 8 et à l'anneau 7 se trouve encore entre le bouchon 8 et l'anneau 7, la figure 2 représente la capsule de bouchage 6 après arrachement de la bande 9, le bouchon 8 se trouvant en position d'obturation du col 1 de la bouteille.While in FIG. 1, the tamper-evident band 9 connected for example by tear-resistant thin webs to the
Sur la figure 3, le bouchon 8 est représenté en position ouverte à 90°. Le bouchon 8 est maintenu dans cette position ouverte par l'appui de sa jupe 13 sur le bord supérieur 5 du col 1.In Figure 3, the
Ce maintien du bouchon 8 en position ouverte implique le respect de certaines relations dimensionnelles mises en évidence ci-dessous.This maintenance of the
D'une part, la longueur ℓ sur laquelle la jupe 13 du bouchon 8 fait saillie sur la surface annulaire d'appui 12, doit être supérieure à la distance h1 séparant le flanc inférieur 4 de la collerette d'accrochage 3 du bord supérieur 5 du col 1.On the one hand, the length ℓ over which the
D'autre part, la distance h2 sur laquelle l'axe de charnière 15 du bouchon 8 est décalé par rapport à la surface annulaire d'appui 12, doit être égale ou supérieure à la distance h1.On the other hand, the distance h 2 over which the
Enfin, il faut que h1 soit égale ou supérieure à (d2-d1)/2.Finally, h 1 must be equal to or greater than (d 2 -d 1 ) / 2.
Les valeurs des diamètres d1 et d2 sont définies par la bouteille à boucher et les valeurs correspondantes sur la capsule doivent être choisies en conséquence pour que l'étanchéité et la tenue de la capsule sur le col de la bouteille soient assurées.The values of the diameters d 1 and d 2 are defined by the corking bottle and the corresponding values on the cap must be chosen accordingly so that the seal and the hold of the cap on the neck of the bottle are ensured.
Pour un col 1 de forme et de dimensions courantes (diamètre intérieur d1 de 21 mm), la valeur (d2-d1)/2 est en général égale à 4 mm.For a
La hauteur h1 généralement utilisée est de l'ordre de 3 mm, mais peut varier d'environ 2,5 à 3,8 mm.The height h 1 generally used is of the order of 3 mm, but may vary from approximately 2.5 to 3.8 mm.
Dans le cas de cols sur lesquels la hauteur h1 est supérieure à 3 mm, il n'existe alors aucun problème de maintien du bouchon 8 en position ouverte.In the case of necks on which the height h 1 is greater than 3 mm, there is then no problem of maintaining the
Par contre, sur une capsule devant boucher un col sur lequel la hauteur h1 serait inférieure à 3 mm, par exemple égale à 2,5 mm, la valeur (d2-d1)/2 devrait être inférieure à 2,5 mm. Cela n'est généralement pas admissible, compte tenu des épaisseurs minimales utilisées pour les parois.On the other hand, on a capsule having to close a neck on which the height h 1 would be less than 3 mm, for example equal to 2.5 mm, the value (d 2 -d 1 ) / 2 should be less than 2.5 mm . This is generally not acceptable, given the minimum thicknesses used for the walls.
C'est la raison pour laquelle, dans un tel cas, comme représenté sur la figure 4, la surface extérieure 19 de la jupe d'étanchéité 13 est excentrée (centre ce) par rapport au centre c de la partie restante du bouchon 8, d'une valeur e qui, pour l'exemple ci-dessus, serait égale à
Cette solution permet à la jupe 13 de conserver une forme extérieure 19 cylindrique garantissant une étanchéité correcte, tout en autorisant une position d'ouverture stable du bouchon 8 à 90° ou plus.This solution allows the
La surface intérieure 20 de la jupe d'étanchéité 13 peut rester centrée par rapport au pourtour extérieur circulaire du bouchon, l'épaisseur (radiale) de la jupe étant alors plus importante du côté de la charnière 15 que du côté opposé.The
Tel que cela apparaît notamment sur la figure 3, il est également possible de prolonger la jupe d'étanchéité 13 par une partie 21 uniquement du côté de la charnière 15, pour obtenir une meilleure coopération de la jupe 13 avec le bord supérieur 5 du col 1.As shown in particular in Figure 3, it is also possible to extend the
