Definitions
- the invention relates to the field of closure of containers for using stopper capsules.
- the invention relates more especially the sealing of containers whose contents require a capsule with tax stamp.
- the capsule manufacturer therefore considered using capsules screw closure, because the opening force can be easily dosed and lowered to an acceptable level for any person even old, and moreover, they allow a filling easy.
- this type of capsule makes it possible to preserve the specific characteristics of the packaged liquid, in particular by the use of an appropriate seal.
- the wine conditioner does not want to have a large stock of taxed bottles, i.e. bearing the tax stamp, since he would have to finance the amount of this tax that constitutes the tax stamp during a indefinite time, which would not be acceptable in terms of financial profitability.
- French Patent No. 2,251,492 only partially responds to the above characteristics.
- its industrial implementation is made difficult by the need to locate the tax stamp axially and radially with respect to the pre-cut patch.
- this patch has the curvature of the skirt and various irregularities due to crimping, which, under these conditions, practically excludes the possibility of having the tax administration accept the fixing after the fact of the tax stamp.
- the object of the invention is therefore to develop a capsule closure which, unlike the capsule according to the patent French n ° 2.251.492, meets all of these requirements defined above.
- the means for holding said seal may consist of any means ensuring axial positioning of the seal on the face internal of the capsule head.
- the joint must retain a possibility of rotation by compared to the head of the capsule.
- a holding means according to the invention can be consisting of a groove or spikes.
- Figures 1a to 1d show a capsule (1) according to the invention, Figure 1 being a view in axial section, Figure 1b a perspective view, Figure 1c a top view, and Figure 1d an enlarged axial section of the capsule head (5).
- FIG. 1a the head (5), the skirt (6) and the groove (7) of the capsule (1) have been identified.
- the closed weakening line (9), circular, which delimits the central patch (10), and the weakening line of the skirt (13) have been indicated.
- Figure 1b which further comprises holes (11) whose inner edges constitute means for securing the patch (10) and the seal (8), and an axial weakening line (14) .
- Figures 1c and 1d show a capsule (1) according to the invention, Figure 1 being a view in axial section, Figure 1b a perspective view, Figure 1c a top view, and Figure 1d an enlarged axial section of the capsule head (5).
- the head (5), the skirt (6) and the groove (7) of the capsule (1) have been identified
- Figures 2a, 3a and 4a are axial half-sections of capsules (1) and necks (2) with the threaded ring (3) and the counter ring (4).
- the corresponding figures 2b, 3b and 4b are top views of the capsule heads (5) showing marks (17) and (18) to illustrate the relative rotation the pellet (10) and the rest of the head (5).
- Figures 2a and 2b show the capsule and the neck before unscrewing the capsule.
- the marks (17) and (18) have been pointed opposite one another.
- the capsule is crimped under the counter ring and that the weakening line (13) of the skirt is located above this crimped zone.
- Figures 3a and 3b show the beginning of the unscrewing which causes the first rupture of the bridges of the weakening line (9) of the head, then those of the weakening line (13) of the skirt.
- Figures 4a and 4b show the end of unscrewing, when the upper part of the capsule comprising the head (5) is no longer secured to the neck (2).
- Figure 5a is an axial section of the capsule head (5) (1) crimped on a neck (2). She shows how the ledges (12) holes (11) enter the seal (8) and rotationally securing said pad (10) and said seal (8).
- Figure 5b shows a view similar to Figure 5a, but it also includes a heat-sealed tax stamp (16) or bonded to the outer surface of said patch (10).
- Figures 6a and 6b are front views of a storage of horizontal bottles, before taxation in Figure 6a, and after taxation in FIG. 6b, the tax stamp (16), represented by the letter "F", being glued or fused on the tablet (10).
- FIG. 7a represents the capsule head (5) before unscrewing the capsule
- FIG. 7b represents the capsule head after unscrewing, with the thin object (15) exposed, the pellet (10) being disconnected of the capsule head.
- said means for securing in rotation said pad and said seal are hanging holes (11) produced in said patch (10) and whose edges (12) are oriented towards the inside of said capsule and sink into the joint which is a standard material to elastic recovery. See Figure 5a.
- hooking holes (11) are used. We can thus obtain, if desired, and by playing in particular on the depth of the hooking holes (11), a capsule whose pellet (10) is axially detached from the head at the start of unscrewing, as soon as the bridges of the line of weakness (9).
- the capsule according to the invention can be provided with different means for improving the inviolability of containers closed with said capsules, or to facilitate their use or recycling them.
- said skirt (6) may include a circular weakening line (13) intended to guarantee the inviolability of said container, located, after crimping the capsule, at a height between the threaded ring (3) and the counter-ring (4) of said neck (2), as illustrated in Figures 1b, 2a and 3a.
- the inviolability of said container can also be ensured without circular weakening line (13), inviolability of said container being ensured by the rupture of said line closed attenuation (9) and by the decoupling of said pellet (10) which results therefrom, during the first opening of said container, the entire skirt (6) being then separated from the neck (2).
- said skirt (6) may include a portion of an axial weakening line (14) starting at the end of said skirt opposite to said head (see Figure 1b), so as to facilitate de-skidding of the container for recycling, i.e. separation easy of the container after use and the remains of the skirt capsule surrounding the neck of the container.
- the invention opens up new possibilities for attracting the consumer.
- the invention makes it possible to make easily accessible a thin object (15) interposed between said patch (10) and said seal (8).
- This object (15) may have a dimension close or not to that of the seal and therefore possibly be blocked in the capsule head, one face of the object being able to carry a message or a visible sign after departure of said patch.
- This object (15) can also be inscribed in the circle formed by the periphery of said patch (10) and therefore be easy to extract, as has been shown in FIGS. 7a and 7b.
- the capsules according to the invention can be produced in metallic or plastic material, but preferably, the capsules are made of aluminum or alloy aluminum.
- Another object of the invention consists of the containers closed by closure caps (1) according to the invention.
- Another object of the invention consists of the containers closed by closure caps (1) according to the invention and of which said patch (10) is covered externally with a tax stamp (16) adhering to said patch.
- the invention therefore makes it possible to dissociate over time the plugging and the storage of plugged containers, and the convenient installation of tax stamps, as illustrated in FIGS.
- Capsules similar to those shown in Figures 1a to 1d were thus obtained. These capsules were crimped onto bottles having a screw ring (3) and a counter ring (4).

Description
L'invention concerne le domaine du bouchage de récipients à l'aide de capsules de bouchage. L'invention concerne plus spécialement le bouchage de récipients dont le contenu exige une capsule avec timbre fiscal.The invention relates to the field of closure of containers for using stopper capsules. The invention relates more especially the sealing of containers whose contents require a capsule with tax stamp.
On connaít déjà par le brevet français n° 2.251.492 une
capsule de bouchage avec un timbre fiscal situé sur une
portion de jupe entourée d'une ligne d'affaiblissement formant
une pastille reliée par des ponts à la jupe et détachable, par
rupture des ponts, lors de l'ouverture de la capsule.
Le préambule de la revendication 1 est basé sur cet état de la
technique.We already know from French Patent No. 2,251,492 a
closure cap with a tax stamp located on a
skirt portion surrounded by a line of weakness forming
a patch connected by bridges to the skirt and detachable, by
rupture of the bridges, when the capsule is opened.
The preamble of
Le fabricant de capsules est amené à développer le bouchage
avec capsule de bouchage au lieu de l'emploi d'un bouchon
associé à une capsule de surbouchage, pour s'adapter à
l'évolution de la société actuelle. En effet, d'une part la
proportion de personnes vivant seules augmente, et d'autre
part, avec l'augmentation de la durée de vie moyenne, la
proportion de personnes agées tend aussi à augmenter.
Comme par ailleurs, il n'est pas facile de déboucher une
bouteille, pas plus qu'il n'est facile de la reboucher
provisoirement pour étaler la consommation sur plusieurs
jours, le conditionnement standard avec bouchon et capsule de
surbouchage pose des problèmes pour un nombre croissant de
personnes.The manufacturer of capsules is led to develop the closure with closure cap instead of using a stopper associated with an overcap capsule, to adapt to the evolution of current society. Indeed, on the one hand the proportion of people living alone increases, and on the other hand, with the increase in the average lifespan, the proportion of elderly people also tends to increase.
As, moreover, it is not easy to uncork a bottle, any more than it is easy to cork it temporarily to spread consumption over several days, the standard packaging with cap and overcap poses problems for a increasing number of people.
Le fabricant de capsules a donc songé à utiliser des capsules de bouchage à vis, car l'effort d'ouverture peut être facilement dosé et abaissé à un niveau acceptable pour toute personne même agée, et de plus, elles permettent un rebouchage facile. Par ailleurs, ce type de capsule permet de conserver les caractéristiques spécifiques du liquide conditionné, notamment par l'emploi d'un joint d'étanchéité approprie.The capsule manufacturer therefore considered using capsules screw closure, because the opening force can be easily dosed and lowered to an acceptable level for any person even old, and moreover, they allow a filling easy. In addition, this type of capsule makes it possible to preserve the specific characteristics of the packaged liquid, in particular by the use of an appropriate seal.
Dans cette optique, le problème qui se pose est celui de la présence d'un timbre fiscal sur la capsule imposé par l'administration fiscale française. Par ailleurs, cette administration impose que le timbre fiscal soit détruit lors de l'ouverture de la capsule, comme indiqué dans le brevet français n° 2.251.492.From this perspective, the problem that arises is that of presence of a tax stamp on the capsule imposed by French tax administration. Furthermore, this administration requires that the tax stamp be destroyed when the opening of the capsule, as indicated in the patent French n ° 2.251.492.
Le conditionneur de vin quant à lui ne souhaite pas avoir un stock important de bouteilles fiscalisées, c'est-à-dire portant le timbre fiscal, puisqu'il aurait à financer le montant de cet impôt que constitue le timbre fiscal pendant un temps indéterminé, ce qui ne serait pas acceptable sur le plan de la rentabilité financière.The wine conditioner does not want to have a large stock of taxed bottles, i.e. bearing the tax stamp, since he would have to finance the amount of this tax that constitutes the tax stamp during a indefinite time, which would not be acceptable in terms of financial profitability.
En résumé, et selon l'analyse des problèmes faite par la demanderesse, le problème est donc de mettre au point une capsule de bouchage présentant l'ensemble des caractéristiques suivantes:
- capsule de bouchage pour bague filetée
- capsule avec timbre fiscal qui se détruise à l'ouverture de manière à ne pas pouvoir être réutilisé frauduleusement,
- capsule qui puisse être réutilisée sans problème pour le bouchage temporaire,
- capsule qui n'impose pas au conditionneur de vin d'associer l'opération de bouchage et celle de fiscalisation de la bouteille de vin.
- sealing cap for threaded ring
- capsule with tax stamp which destroys on opening so that it cannot be reused fraudulently,
- capsule that can be easily re-used for temporary capping,
- capsule which does not require the wine conditioner to combine the corking operation and that of taxing the wine bottle.
Le brevet français n° 2.251.492 ne répond que très
partiellement aux caractéristiques précitées. En particulier,
sa mise en oeuvre industrielle est rendue difficile par la
nécessité de repérer le timbre fiscal axialement et
radialement par rapport à la pastille pré-découpée.
De plus, cette pastille présente la courbure de la jupe et
diverses irrégularités dues au sertissage, ce qui, dans ces
conditions, exclut pratiquement la possibilité de faire
accepter par l'administration fiscale la fixation après coup
du timbre fiscal.French Patent No. 2,251,492 only partially responds to the above characteristics. In particular, its industrial implementation is made difficult by the need to locate the tax stamp axially and radially with respect to the pre-cut patch.
In addition, this patch has the curvature of the skirt and various irregularities due to crimping, which, under these conditions, practically excludes the possibility of having the tax administration accept the fixing after the fact of the tax stamp.
L'objet de l'invention est donc de mettre au point une capsule de bouchage qui, contrairement à la capsule selon le brevet français n° 2.251.492, réponde à l'ensemble de ces exigences définies précédemment.The object of the invention is therefore to develop a capsule closure which, unlike the capsule according to the patent French n ° 2.251.492, meets all of these requirements defined above.
Selon l'invention, la capsule de bouchage pour goulot de
récipient à bague filetée comprend un corps constitué par une
tête et une jupe, et un joint à reprise élastique positionné
sur la face interne de ladite tête grâce à un moyen de
maintien dudit joint, et est caractérisée en ce que,
Le moyen de maintien dudit joint peut être constitué de tout moyen assurant un positionnement axial du joint sur la face interne de la tête de capsule. Cependant, selon l'invention, le joint doit conserver une possibilité de rotation par rapport à la tête de la capsule. A titre d'exmple non-limitatif, un moyen de maintien selon l'invention peut être constitué par une gorge ou des picots. The means for holding said seal may consist of any means ensuring axial positioning of the seal on the face internal of the capsule head. However, according to the invention, the joint must retain a possibility of rotation by compared to the head of the capsule. As a non-limiting example, a holding means according to the invention can be consisting of a groove or spikes.
L'ensemble de ces moyens permettent de résoudre le problème
posé avec l'ensemble de ses contraintes.
En effet, pour résoudre le problème posé, il importe d'abord
de pouvoir fixer d'une manière totalement fiable et acceptable
par l'administration fiscale, un timbre fiscal à une capsule
de bouchage déjà sertie sur un goulot de bouteille.
Pour cela, le seul endroit possible est la tête de capsule:
seule partie de la capsule qui présente une surface plane et
aisément accessible.All of these means make it possible to solve the problem posed with all of its constraints.
In order to solve the problem posed, it is first of all necessary to be able to fix, in a manner that is totally reliable and acceptable to the tax administration, a tax stamp to a closure cap already set on a bottle neck.
For this, the only possible place is the capsule head: only part of the capsule which has a flat and easily accessible surface.
Placer le timbre fiscal sur la tête de capsule implique, comme cela a déjà été indiqué, qu'il y ait automatiquement, lors de l'ouverture, destruction physique des ponts de la pastille portant le timbre fiscal.Placing the tax stamp on the capsule head implies, as this has already been indicated, that there is automatically, when opening, physical destruction of the pellet bridges bearing the tax stamp.
La demanderesse a résolu ce problème par la combinaison de deux moyens mentionnés précédemment:
- par la formation d'une ligne fermée d'affaiblissement délimitant une pastille sur la tête de la capsule, reliée au reste de la tête par des ponts,
- et par la solidarisation en rotation de ladite pastille et du joint.
- by the formation of a closed weakening line delimiting a patch on the head of the capsule, connected to the rest of the head by bridges,
- and by securing in rotation said pellet and the seal.
C'est par hasard que la demanderesse est arrivée à cette
solution en observant que, dans certains cas particuliers
seulement il y avait toujours une rupture automatique des
ponts de la ligne d'affaiblissement dès le début du dévissage
de la capsule.
Après analyse, il semble que le joint, qui est habituellement
en matériau thermoplastique présentant des propriétés
barrières et organoleptiques adaptées (PE, PET, PVDC...),
adhère davantage au buvant du goulot qu'à la tête.It was by chance that the Applicant arrived at this solution by observing that, in certain specific cases only, there was always an automatic rupture of the bridges of the weakening line from the start of the unscrewing of the capsule.
After analysis, it seems that the seal, which is usually made of thermoplastic material having suitable barrier and organoleptic properties (PE, PET, PVDC ...), adheres more to the mouth of the neck than to the head.
En outre, comme il n'y a pas de solidarisation axiale de la pastille et du joint, mais seulement une solidarisation en rotation, il est possible, selon la plus ou moins grande solidarisation en rotation de la pastille et du joint, ou selon l'élasticité du joint, soit de conserver la pastille solidaire du joint, soit au contraire, d'obtenir qu'elle se détache du joint. Mais dans tous les cas, la pastille est détruite par rupture des ponts selon l'exigence de l'administration fiscale, sans que cela empêche d'utiliser la partie restante de la capsule pour refermer le récipient ou la bouteille, autant de fois que nécessaire, et cela sans risques de blessure.In addition, since there is no axial securing of the patch and seal, but only a connection in rotation it is possible, depending on the greater or lesser rotationally joining the patch and the seal, or depending on the elasticity of the joint, i.e. to keep the pellet secured to the joint, or on the contrary, to obtain that it detaches from the seal. But in all cases, the tablet is destroyed by breaking bridges according to the requirement of the tax administration, without preventing it from using the remaining part of the capsule to close the container or bottle, as many times as necessary, without risk of injury.
Toutes les figures sont relatives à l'invention.
Les figures 1a à 1d représentent une capsule (1) selon
l'invention, la figure 1 étant une vue en coupe axiale, la
figure 1b une vue en perspective, la figure 1c une vue de
dessus, et la figure 1d une coupe axiale agrandie de la tête
de capsule (5).
Sur la figure 1a, on a repéré la tête (5), la jupe (6) et la
gorge (7) de la capsule (1). On a indiqué la ligne fermée
d'affaiblissement (9), circulaire, qui délimite la pastille
centrale (10), ainsi que la ligne d'affaiblissement de la jupe
(13).
Les mêmes repères se retrouvent sur la figure 1b, qui comprend
en outre des trous (11) dont les rebords intérieurs
constituent des moyens de solidariser la pastille (10) et le
joint (8), et une ligne d'affaiblissement axiale (14).
Les mêmes repères se trouvent sur les figures 1c et 1d.All the figures relate to the invention.
Figures 1a to 1d show a capsule (1) according to the invention, Figure 1 being a view in axial section, Figure 1b a perspective view, Figure 1c a top view, and Figure 1d an enlarged axial section of the capsule head (5).
In FIG. 1a, the head (5), the skirt (6) and the groove (7) of the capsule (1) have been identified. The closed weakening line (9), circular, which delimits the central patch (10), and the weakening line of the skirt (13) have been indicated.
The same references are found in Figure 1b, which further comprises holes (11) whose inner edges constitute means for securing the patch (10) and the seal (8), and an axial weakening line (14) .
The same references are found in Figures 1c and 1d.
Les figures 2a, 3a et 4a, sont des demi-coupes axiales de capsules (1) et de goulots (2) avec la bague filetée (3) et la contre-bague (4). Les figures correspondantes 2b, 3b et 4b sont des vues de dessus des têtes de capsules (5) où figurent des repères (17) et (18) pour illustrer la rotation relative de la pastille (10) et du reste de la tête (5). Figures 2a, 3a and 4a are axial half-sections of capsules (1) and necks (2) with the threaded ring (3) and the counter ring (4). The corresponding figures 2b, 3b and 4b are top views of the capsule heads (5) showing marks (17) and (18) to illustrate the relative rotation the pellet (10) and the rest of the head (5).
Les figures 2a et 2b représentent la capsule et le goulot
avant dévissage de la capsule. Les repères (17) et (18) ont
été pointés l'un en face de l'autre.
Il est à noter que la capsule est sertie sous la contre-bague
et que la ligne d'affaiblissement (13) de la jupe se trouve
au-dessus de cette zone sertie.
Les figures 3a et 3b représentent le début du dévissage qui
entraíne la rupture première des ponts de la ligne
d'affaiblissement (9) de la tête, puis ceux de la ligne
d'affaiblissement (13) de la jupe.
Les figures 4a et 4b représentent la fin du dévissage, lorsque
la partie supérieure de la capsule comprenant la tête (5)
n'est plus solidaire du goulot (2).Figures 2a and 2b show the capsule and the neck before unscrewing the capsule. The marks (17) and (18) have been pointed opposite one another.
It should be noted that the capsule is crimped under the counter ring and that the weakening line (13) of the skirt is located above this crimped zone.
Figures 3a and 3b show the beginning of the unscrewing which causes the first rupture of the bridges of the weakening line (9) of the head, then those of the weakening line (13) of the skirt.
Figures 4a and 4b show the end of unscrewing, when the upper part of the capsule comprising the head (5) is no longer secured to the neck (2).
La figure 5a est une coupe axiale de la tête (5) de capsule (1) sertie sur un goulot (2). Elle montre comment les rebords (12) des trous (11) pénètrent dans le joint (8) et solidarisent en rotation ladite pastille (10) et ledit joint (8).Figure 5a is an axial section of the capsule head (5) (1) crimped on a neck (2). She shows how the ledges (12) holes (11) enter the seal (8) and rotationally securing said pad (10) and said seal (8).
La figure 5b représente une vue analogue à la figure 5a, mais elle comprend en plus un timbre fiscal (16) thermocollé ou collé à la surface extérieure de ladite pastille (10).Figure 5b shows a view similar to Figure 5a, but it also includes a heat-sealed tax stamp (16) or bonded to the outer surface of said patch (10).
Les figures 6a et 6b sont des vues de face d'un stockage de bouteilles horizontales, avant fiscalisation à la figure 6a, et après fiscalisation à la figure 6b, le timbre fiscal (16), représenté par la lettre "F", étant collé ou thermocollé sur la pastille (10).Figures 6a and 6b are front views of a storage of horizontal bottles, before taxation in Figure 6a, and after taxation in FIG. 6b, the tax stamp (16), represented by the letter "F", being glued or fused on the tablet (10).
Les figures 7a et 7b représentent des coupes axiales
partielles dans le cas où un objet mince (15) est intercalé
entre ladite pastille (10) et ledit joint (8).
La figure 7a représente la tête de capsule (5) avant dévissage
de la capsule, alors que la figure 7b représente la tête de
capsule après dévissage, avec mise au jour de l'objet mince
(15), la pastille (10) étant désolidarisée de la tête de
capsule.Figures 7a and 7b show partial axial sections in the case where a thin object (15) is interposed between said pad (10) and said seal (8).
FIG. 7a represents the capsule head (5) before unscrewing the capsule, while FIG. 7b represents the capsule head after unscrewing, with the thin object (15) exposed, the pellet (10) being disconnected of the capsule head.
Selon l'invention, lesdits moyens de solidariser en rotation ladite pastille et ledit joint sont des trous d'accrochage (11) réalisés dans ladite pastille (10) et dont les rebords (12) sont orientés vers l'intérieur de ladite capsule et s'enfoncent dans le joint qui est un matériau standard à reprise élastique. Voir la figure 5a.According to the invention, said means for securing in rotation said pad and said seal are hanging holes (11) produced in said patch (10) and whose edges (12) are oriented towards the inside of said capsule and sink into the joint which is a standard material to elastic recovery. See Figure 5a.
On peut aussi solidariser en rotation ladite pastille et ledit
joint par une couche adhésive, ou tout autre moyen pouvant
remplir la même fonction.
De préférence, on utilise des trous d'accrochage (11). On peut
ainsi obtenir, si cela est souhaité, et en jouant notamment
sur la profondeur des trous d'accrochage (11), une capsule
dont la pastille (10) se désolidarise axialement de la tête au
début du dévissage, dès rupture des ponts de la ligne
d'affaiblissement (9).It is also possible to secure said pellet and said seal in rotation by an adhesive layer, or any other means capable of fulfilling the same function.
Preferably, hooking holes (11) are used. We can thus obtain, if desired, and by playing in particular on the depth of the hooking holes (11), a capsule whose pellet (10) is axially detached from the head at the start of unscrewing, as soon as the bridges of the line of weakness (9).
La capsule selon l'invention peut être munie de différents moyens destinés à améliorer l'inviolabilité des récipients fermés avec lesdites capsules, ou à faciliter leur utilisation ou leur recyclage.The capsule according to the invention can be provided with different means for improving the inviolability of containers closed with said capsules, or to facilitate their use or recycling them.
Ainsi, dans les capsules selon l'invention, ladite jupe (6) peut comprendre une ligne d'affaiblissement circulaire (13) destinée à garantir l'inviolabilité dudit récipient, située, après sertissage de la capsule, à une hauteur comprise entre la bague filetée (3) et la contre-bague (4) dudit goulot (2), comme illustré sur les figures 1b, 2a et 3a.Thus, in the capsules according to the invention, said skirt (6) may include a circular weakening line (13) intended to guarantee the inviolability of said container, located, after crimping the capsule, at a height between the threaded ring (3) and the counter-ring (4) of said neck (2), as illustrated in Figures 1b, 2a and 3a.
Mais, l'inviolabilité dudit récipient peut aussi être assurée sans ligne d'affaiblissement circulaire (13), l'inviolabilité dudit récipient étant assurée par la rupture de ladite ligne fermée d'affaiblissement (9) et par la désolidarisation de ladite pastille (10) qui en résulte, lors de la première ouverture dudit récipient, la totalité de la jupe (6) étant alors séparée du goulot (2).However, the inviolability of said container can also be ensured without circular weakening line (13), inviolability of said container being ensured by the rupture of said line closed attenuation (9) and by the decoupling of said pellet (10) which results therefrom, during the first opening of said container, the entire skirt (6) being then separated from the neck (2).
De plus, dans les capsules selon l'invention, ladite jupe (6) peut comprendre une portion de ligne d'affaiblissement axiale (14) commençant à l'extrémité de ladite jupe opposée à ladite tête (voir figure 1b), de manière à faciliter le déjupage du récipient en vue de son recyclage, c'est à dire la séparation aisée du récipient après usage et des restes de jupe de capsule entourant le col du récipient.In addition, in the capsules according to the invention, said skirt (6) may include a portion of an axial weakening line (14) starting at the end of said skirt opposite to said head (see Figure 1b), so as to facilitate de-skidding of the container for recycling, i.e. separation easy of the container after use and the remains of the skirt capsule surrounding the neck of the container.
En outre, l'invention ouvre des possibilités nouvelles pour
attirer le consommateur. En effet, l'invention permet de
rendre facilement accessible un objet de faible épaisseur (15)
intercalé entre ladite pastille (10) et ledit joint (8).
Cet objet (15) peut avoir une dimension voisine ou non de
celle du joint et donc être éventuellement bloqué dans la tête
de capsule, une face de l'objet pouvant porter un message ou
un signe visible après départ de ladite pastille.
Cet objet (15) peut aussi être inscriptible dans le cercle
constitué par la périphérie de ladite pastille (10) et être de
ce fait facile à extraire, comme cela a été représenté aux
figures 7a et 7b.
Les utilisations possibles de ces possibilités offertes par la
présente invention sont nombreuses, et à titre non limitatif
d'objet (15), on peut citer: un moyen de détection dudit
récipient, un support de message en vue d'un jeu ou d'un
concours ou d'une promotion commerciale, un alcootest
miniaturisé ou tout autre objet miniaturisé.In addition, the invention opens up new possibilities for attracting the consumer. Indeed, the invention makes it possible to make easily accessible a thin object (15) interposed between said patch (10) and said seal (8).
This object (15) may have a dimension close or not to that of the seal and therefore possibly be blocked in the capsule head, one face of the object being able to carry a message or a visible sign after departure of said patch.
This object (15) can also be inscribed in the circle formed by the periphery of said patch (10) and therefore be easy to extract, as has been shown in FIGS. 7a and 7b.
The possible uses of these possibilities offered by the present invention are numerous, and without limitation of object (15), there may be mentioned: a means of detecting said container, a message medium for a game or a contest or a commercial promotion, a miniaturized breathalyzer or any other miniaturized object.
Les capsules selon l'invention peuvent être réalisées en matériau métallique ou en matière plastique, mais de préférence, les capsules sont en aluminium ou alliage d'aluminium. The capsules according to the invention can be produced in metallic or plastic material, but preferably, the capsules are made of aluminum or alloy aluminum.
Un autre objet de l'invention est constitué par les récipients
fermés par des capsules de bouchage (1) selon l'invention.
Un autre objet de l'invention est constitué par les récipients
fermés par des capsules de bouchage (1) selon l'invention et
dont ladite pastille (10) est recouverte extérieurement d'un
timbre fiscal (16) adhérant à ladite pastille.
L'invention permet donc de dissocier dans le temps le bouchage
et le stockage des récipients bouchés, et la pose commode des
timbres fiscaux, comme illustré aux figures 6a et 6b.Another object of the invention consists of the containers closed by closure caps (1) according to the invention.
Another object of the invention consists of the containers closed by closure caps (1) according to the invention and of which said patch (10) is covered externally with a tax stamp (16) adhering to said patch.
The invention therefore makes it possible to dissociate over time the plugging and the storage of plugged containers, and the convenient installation of tax stamps, as illustrated in FIGS.
On a fabriqué de manière connue en soi 10000 capsules de
bouchage, en alliage d'aluminium 3105 H24 (selon désignation
normalisée de l'Aluminum Association) par emboutissage de
bande de 0,21 mm d'épaisseur.
Dimensions:
- hauteur = 50 mm
- diamètre intérieur du bas de jupe = 29,10 mm.
- diamètre intérieur de la tête = 30 mm
Dimensions:
- height = 50 mm
- inner diameter of the bottom of the skirt = 29.10 mm.
- inner diameter of the head = 30 mm
On a ensuite réalisé avec un outil spécialement adapté 4 trous
d'accrochage (11), 0,5 mm à 1 mm de profondeur en perforant la
tête (5) de capsule avec des pointes de manière à obtenir des
rebords rentrants (12), puis la ligne d'affaiblissement (9) de
la tête, de 21 mm de diamètre, avec 6 ponts de 0,5 mm de
largeur régulièrement espaces.We then made with a specially adapted
On a introduit ensuite des joints standards (épaisseur de 2 mm de bonne reprise élastique, en matériau plastique à trois couches dont la couche centrale est une mousse de polyéthylène et dont la couche externe en contact avec le liquide conditionné est choisie notamment pour son inocuité et sa perméabilité. We then introduced standard seals (thickness of 2 mm good elastic recovery, made of three-part plastic layers of which the central layer is polyethylene foam and whose outer layer in contact with the liquid conditioned is chosen in particular for its harmlessness and permeability.
On a ainsi obtenu des capsules analogues à celles représentées
aux figures 1a à 1d.
Ces capsules ont été serties sur des bouteilles ayant une
bague à vis (3) et une contre-bague (4).Capsules similar to those shown in Figures 1a to 1d were thus obtained.
These capsules were crimped onto bottles having a screw ring (3) and a counter ring (4).
On a ensuite testé l'ouverture en demandant à 10 opérateurs
correspondant au segment de population visé par la présente
capsule d'ouvrir chacun 100 bouteilles et on a examiné ensuite
la tête de capsule restante: les ponts ont été coupés dans
100% des cas.
On a aussi réalisé des essais consistant en une succession de
rebouchages et débouchages sans noter de problèmes
particuliers.We then tested the opening by asking 10 operators corresponding to the population segment targeted by this capsule to open each 100 bottles and we then examined the remaining capsule head: the bridges were cut in 100% of the cases.
Tests have also been carried out consisting of a succession of fillings and uncorkings without noting any particular problems.
Par ailleurs, on a fait des essais de thermocollage de timbres
fiscaux (16) sur les pastilles (10) en faisant défiler les
bouteilles en position verticale devant un poste de
thermocollage.
On n'a pas observé de détérioration des capsules ni
d'échauffement des bouteilles.
On a même effectué un thermocollage de timbres fiscaux avec un
appareil manuel de thermocollage, ce qui permet de réaliser la
pose de timbres fiscaux sur les têtes de capsule sans déplacer
les bouteilles - méthode intéressante pour les petites séries.Furthermore, tests have been made of heat-sealing fiscal stamps (16) on the pellets (10) by scrolling the bottles in a vertical position in front of a heat-sealing station.
No deterioration of the capsules or heating of the bottles was observed.
We even heat-stamped tax stamps with a manual heat-sealing device, which allows the installation of tax stamps on the capsule heads without moving the bottles - an interesting method for small series.
Des essais complémentaires d'ouvertures sur bouteilles avec capsules fiscalisées ont confirmé les résultats précédents, avec une rupture des ponts à 100%.Additional bottle opening tests with tax capsules confirmed the previous results, with 100% break in bridges.
Les capsules selon l'invention constituent une solution
élégante à un problème difficile, compte tenu notamment des
dispositions règlementaires de l'administration fiscale
française.
Cette solution apporte des avantages à l'ensemble des acteurs
économiques concernés par le problème posé:
- pour le consommateur, la capsule selon l'invention permet une adaptation à ses besoins réels, et constitue donc un nouvel élargissement de l'offre techniquement possible,
- pour le conditionneur de vin, la capsule selon l'invention rend enfin possible la fiscalisation des capsules le plus tardivement possible, juste avant la vente et permet en outre l'enrichissement du décor de la jupe.
This solution brings advantages to all the economic actors concerned by the problem posed:
- for the consumer, the capsule according to the invention allows adaptation to their real needs, and therefore constitutes a further enlargement of the technically possible offer,
- for the wine conditioner, the capsule according to the invention finally makes it possible to tax the capsules as late as possible, just before the sale and also allows the decoration of the skirt to be enriched.
