Abstract
Description
L'invention concerne un dispositif de bouchage d'une bouteille, susceptible d'être ouvert par une simple opération manuelle de l'utilisateur sans aucun instrument tel que tire-bouchon ou décapsuleur.The invention relates to a device for capping a bottle, can be opened by simple manual user operation without any instrument such as corkscrew or bottle opener.
On connaít de nombreux dispositifs de bouchage de ce type, qui utilisent généralement des capsules vissantes métalliques pourvues d'un disque intérieur permettant d'assurer l'herméticité de la fermeture. L'ouverture de la bouteille se fait par dévissage de la capsule, habituellement accompagné d'une rupture d'une bague d'inviolabilité.We know many plugging devices of this type, which generally use metal screw caps with an inner disc to ensure the tightness of the closure. The bottle is opened by unscrewing the cap, usually accompanied by a rupture of a tamper-evident ring.
Ces dispositifs présentent divers inconvénients.These devices have various drawbacks.
En premier lieu, la rupture de la bague d'inviolabilité produit aux points de rupture des arrêtes vives qui peuvent être blessantes. En second lieu, la réalisation de tels dispositifs est particulièrement onéreuse, tant en ce qui concerne le coût unitaire de la pièce que le coût d'exploitation de la chaíne d'embouteillage, qui fonctionne à une cadence beaucoup plus reduite que les chaínes classiques à fermeture par bouchon de liège.First, the rupture of the tamper-evident ring produced at sharp edge break points that can be offensive. Secondly place, the realization of such devices is particularly expensive, both with regard to the unit cost of the part and the operating cost the bottling line, which operates at a rate much smaller than conventional chains with closure by Cork.
L'un des buts de l'invention est de remédier a ces inconvénients, en proposant un dispositif de bouchage ne nécessitant pour son ouverture aucun accessoire, et qui soit de réalisation particulièrement économique.One of the aims of the invention is to remedy these drawbacks, by proposing a closure device that does not require opening no accessories, and which is particularly economical to produce.
On verra en outre que très avantageusement, le dispositif de l'invention peut faire usage d'un bouchon de liège, généralement perçu par le public comme réservé à des produits de qualité. On verra à cet égard que l'invention permet néanmoins d'utiliser un bouchon de liège de moindre coût que les bouchons classiques, évitant ainsi de grever le coût final du produit.It will also be seen that very advantageously, the device for the invention can make use of a cork, generally perceived by the public as reserved for quality products. We will see at this regard that the invention nevertheless allows the use of a cork lower cost than conventional closures, thus avoiding burdening the final cost of the product.
Le dispositif de bouchage de l'invention est du type générique divulgué par le FR-A-2 687 376, c'ést à dire comportant essentiellement un manchon extérieur et un tube intérieur cylindrique creux, ces deux éléments étant coaxiaux et solidarisés à leur sommet par une cloison commune coiffant le goulot de la bouteille, la surface intérieure du manchon étant appliquée contre la surface extérieure de la paroi du col de la bouteille et la surface extérieure du tube étant appliquée contre la surface intérieure de cette même paroi. Selon l'invention, le tube emprisonne un bouchon dans le volume intérieur qu'il définit, le bouchon dépassant du tube en direction axiale de manière à venir s'appliquer de façon étanche contre la surface intérieure de la paroi du col, les dimensions radiales et axiales de la partie dépassante et de la partie emprisonnée du bouchon et du tube, ainsi que leurs coefficients de frottement respectifs par rapport à la paroi intérieure du col, étant choisis tels qu'un effort combiné de traction et de rotation exercé sur le manchon par prise en main de ce dernier et transmis au tube provoque un entraínement corrélatif en traction et en rotation du bouchon dans le col, bouchon et tube demeurant essentiellement solidaires dans ce mouvement.The closure device of the invention is of the generic type disclosed by FR-A-2 687 376, that is to say comprising basically an outer sleeve and a tube hollow cylindrical interior, these two elements being coaxial and integral at their top by a common partition covering the neck of the bottle, the inner surface of the sleeve being pressed against the outer surface of the bottle neck wall and the outer surface of the tube being applied against the inner surface of this same wall. According to the invention, the tube traps a plug in the volume inside it defines, the plug protruding from the tube in an axial direction so as to be applied sealingly against the interior surface of the neck wall, the radial and axial dimensions of the part protruding from the trapped part of the plug and tube, as well that their respective coefficients of friction with respect to the wall inside of the neck, being chosen such that a combined tensile force and of rotation exerted on the sleeve by taking hold of the latter and transmitted to the tube causes a correlative drive in tension and rotation of the plug in the neck, plug and tube essentially remaining united in this movement.
De préférence, le bouchon est un bouchon en liège ou en aggloméré de liège, le matériau et les dimensions du bouchon pouvant notamment être choisis de manière que l'expansion naturelle de la partie dépassante après retrait du bouchon empêche la remise en place de ce dernier dans le goulot. Le tube et le manchon, quant à eux, peuvent être en une matière plastique, notamment une matière plastique recyclable telle qu'un PVC recyclable.Preferably, the stopper is a cork or agglomerated stopper of cork, the material and the dimensions of the cap being able in particular be chosen so that the natural expansion of the protruding part after removing the cap prevents the latter from being replaced in the neck. The tube and the sleeve, on the other hand, can be made of a plastic, in particular a recyclable plastic such as recyclable PVC.
Dans une forme de réalisation avantageuse, la cloison est ouverte en partie centrale de manière à permettre l'insertion à force du bouchon par le haut sur une bouteille préalablement pourvue d'un dispositif sans son bouchon.In an advantageous embodiment, the partition is open in the central part so as to allow the plug to be inserted by force from above on a bottle previously provided with a device without its cap.
Le tube, le manchon et leur cloison commune peuvent constituer un ensemble monobloc. Le manchon peut comporter une amorce de rupture périphérique entre une partie supérieure solidaire du manchon et une jupe inférieure allongée recouvrant le col de la bouteille.The tube, the sleeve and their common partition can constitute a one-piece assembly. The sleeve may include a primer peripheral rupture between an upper part secured to the sleeve and an elongated bottom skirt covering the neck of the bottle.
D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention apparaítront
à la lecture de la description détaillée ci-dessous d'un exemple de
réalisation, faite en référence aux dessins annexés.
La figure 1 montre l'aspect d'une bouteille 1 dont le col 2 a été
bouché par un dispositif selon l'invention. Comme on peut le voir, cet
aspect est sensiblement identique à celui d'une bouteille fermée par un
bouchon de liège classique, ce qui rend le dispositif commercialement
approprié à des produits traditionnels tels que des vins de qualité.Figure 1 shows the appearance of a bottle 1 whose
Le dispositif de bouchage comporte une partie supérieure 3, ci-après
désignée "manchon", destinée à être saisie à la main par l'utilisateur,
et prolongée le long du col 2 de la bouteille par une partie
attenante 4 en forme de jupe dont elle est séparée par des amorces de
rupture 5 permettant d'assurer l'inviolabilité de la fermeture.The closure device comprises an
La figure 2 montre la structure interne du dispositif : le manchon 3
est solidaire d'un tube intérieur 6 pénétrant dans le goulot de la bouteille
et relié au manchon par une cloison horizontale 7 en forme de
disque ; l'ensemble des éléments 3, 6 et 7 est de préférence réalisé de
façon monobloc, par exemple par moulage-injection d'une matière plastique
appropriée telle qu'un PVC, de préférence un PVC recyclable.
L'élément 6 est un tube cylindrique formant virole, emprisonnant un
bouchon 8, de préférence un bouchon de liège. De façon caractéristique,
en direction axiale, seule une partie supérieure 9 du bouchon est emprisonnée
par le tube 6, la partie inférieure dépassante 10 venant en
contact avec l'intérieur du col de la bouteille de manière à assurer
l'obturation recherchée.Figure 2 shows the internal structure of the device: the
L'ouverture de la bouteille se fait de la manière suivante.The opening of the bottle is done as follows.
L'utilisateur saisit d'une main le manchon 3 et l'entraíne dans un
mouvement combiné de rotation et de traction vers le haut, ce qui a
pour effet de briser l'amorce de rupture 5 et d'entraíner dans ce même
mouvement le tube intérieur 6, solidaire du manchon, et le bouchon 8,
solidaire du tube 7 (les dimensions du bouchon et du tube intérieur et
les coefficients de frottement relatifs du bouchon avec ce tube et avec le
col de la bouteille sont choisis de manière que bouchon 8 et tube 6 demeurent
essentiellement solidaires dans ce mouvement, tandis que la
partie débordante 10 du bouchon 9 glisse sur la surface intérieure du
col de la bouteille). The user grasps the
En poursuivant ce mouvement, l'utilisateur extrait ainsi entièrement
le bouchon et libère le goulot de la bouteille, sur le col de laquelle
ne subsiste plus que la jupe 4. On notera que ce mode de bouchage peut
être rendu irréversible non seulement par les amorces de rupture 5 qui
révèlent toute tentative d'ouverture, mais également en choisissant
pour le bouchon 10 une qualité de liège et des dimensions telles que,
quelques instants après l'ouverture, la partie débordante 10 présente
une expansion naturelle empêchant toute remise en place du bouchon
dans le goulot.By continuing this movement, the user thus extracts entirely
the stopper and releases the neck of the bottle, on the neck of which
only the skirt 4 remains. It will be noted that this closure method can
be made irreversible not only by the primers of
Outre l'extraction sans effort, le dispositif de bouchage de l'invention présente de nombreux avantages.Besides the effortless extraction, the closure device of the invention has many advantages.
Il permet en particulier l'utilisation de bouchons en liège (ou en aggloméré de liège) de petites dimensions, plus courts que les bouchons traditionnels devant être extraits avec un tire-bouchon et donc plus économiques.In particular, it allows the use of cork stoppers (or cork) of small dimensions, shorter than the corks traditional to be extracted with a corkscrew and therefore more economic.
Par ailleurs, le bouchage des bouteilles peut être réalisé sur des chaínes d'embouteillage classiques, bien moins coûteuses à mettre en oeuvre que les chaínes d'embouteillage plaçant des capsules vissantes métalliques.Furthermore, the corking of the bottles can be carried out on conventional bottling lines, much less expensive to set up work that the bottling lines placing screw caps metallic.
En effet, si la cloison 7 est ouverte vers le haut en partie centrale,
il est possible d'y insérer le bouchon par une opération de même nature
que l'insertion d'un bouchon de liège dans le goulot d'une bouteille.
L'embouteillage se faire alors en deux temps, à savoir tout d'abord la
pose ou le surmoulage, sur le col de la bouteille, de la pièce plastique
monobloc comprenant le manchon 3, la jupe 4, le tube 6 et la cloison 7
puis, dans un second temps, l'insertion verticale du bouchon 8 à force
dans l'ouverture centrale de la cloison 7, ce qui aboutit à la configuration
de la figure 2 ; la partie supérieure peut être éventuellement
cachée par collage d'une étiquette circulaire sur le dessus de l'ensemble
ainsi constitué.Indeed, if the
Comme on le voit, ces différentes opérations peuvent être mises en oeuvre avec des machines d'embouteillage classiques, pratiquement sans aucune modification, et à des cadences élevées, semblables à celles des chaínes d'embouteillage à fermeture par bouchon de liège.As we can see, these different operations can be implemented works with conventional bottling machines, practically without any modification, and at high rates, similar to those bottling chains with cork closure.
