  • It also relates to an assembly comprising a container and such an associated or integrated stopper.
  • plugs of the type comprising firstly a body intended to be associated with a container and provided with an orifice, secondly a cover being either in a closed situation, or in an open situation where respectively it provides the shutter or allows the release of the orifice of the body and, thirdly, the shutter means associated with the body and the cover.
  • sealing means for plugs of the type indicated above comprising on the one hand a flexible cover which originally is rigidly associated with the body to close its orifice but is removable by tearing for its subsequent opening and, on the other hand, a seal, which once the cover is torn off and when the cover is in the closed position, is secured to the cover and capable of closing the orifice.
  • a sealable joint comprises an extension intended to constitute a tear-off tab, no other function being given to this tab.
  • the object of the invention is to propose a stopper having an apparent witness to the inviolability which is simple in design, easy to manufacture and effective.
  • the invention proposes a plug of the type indicated above, the closure means of which are with a seal and seal as indicated above, in which the seal comprises, at its periphery, at least one part in extension which, originally and when the cover is in the closed position, passing between the body and the cover at least one projecting, external, visible part constituting or forming part of an apparent witness to the inviolability of the closure.
  • the part in extension or / and the projecting part is peripherally located.
  • the extension part and / or the protruding part extends over all or substantially the entire periphery of the cover, of the plug respectively.
  • the extension part and / or the protruding part is single or in one piece.
  • the extension portion and / or the protruding portion is multiple or is separated.
  • extension part and the projecting part together form a tear-off tab of the cover.
  • the projecting part has a structure identical or substantially identical to that of the part forming the cover itself.
  • the extension part, the protruding part comprises additional functional means in the form of one or more additional layers, one or more treatments, one or more organs ensuring, participating in or promoting the holding , seizure, removal of the cover.
  • the body and / or the cover comprises a hollow area defining a housing for the projecting part.
  • the body and / or the cover comprises at its periphery and at the junction with respectively the cover or / and the body a passage overhang of the protruding part.
  • the body and the cover are associated with each other by pivoting around a transverse peripheral hinge, in particular opposite to the part in extension or / and the projecting part.
  • the body comprises an external skirt for hooking to a container or for extending the external wall of the container, an annular transverse wall situated towards one of the extreme edges of the skirt, and a cylindrical wall in projecting from the annular transverse wall forming the orifice.
  • the cover includes a transverse end wall and a side skirt which, when closed, is situated substantially in the extension of the external skirt of the body, the hinge being situated substantially at the junction of two skirts.
  • the outer skirt of the body is chamfered to form both the housing of the protruding part and the recess for its passage.
  • the side skirt of the cover has, directly above the chamfer of the outside skirt of the body, an edge projecting outwards.
  • the cover fulfills two functions, simultaneously. That of obturation and that of apparent witness of the inviolability thanks to its projecting part.
  • the invention relates to a stopper as just described associated with or integrated into a container.
  • This set is either empty or filled with content in the container.
  • Figure 1 is a schematic sectional view through an axial plane of a plug according to the invention and a container shown partially.
  • the cap cover is shown in solid lines when closed and in broken lines when open.
  • Figure 2 is a schematic front view of the cap of Figure 1 in the closed state showing the apparent witness of inviolability.
  • a plug 1 associated with a container 2 but which, in another embodiment not shown, can be integrated into it.
  • the plug 1 and the container 2 have a common axis 3.
  • This container 2 or more generally the container 2-cap 1 assembly is intended to receive a certain content.
  • This content can be, for example, a food product such as a drink or a cosmetic product, this list being only indicative.
  • the stopper 1 shown comprises a body 4, a cover 5 and sealing means 6.
  • the body 4 first comprises, in the embodiment shown in the drawings, an outer skirt 7 for hooking the container 2.
  • This skirt 7 would come in extension of the outer wall of the container 2 if the plug 1 was integrated in him.
  • the skirt 7 is provided on its internal face and towards a first end - in the lower case - with a projection 8 for hooking to the container 2 provided with a complementary projection 9.
  • the body 4 then comprises an annular transverse wall 10 situated towards the second extreme edge of the skirt 7.
  • the body 4 finally comprises a cylindrical wall 11 projecting from the transverse wall 10, on the one hand outwards to form a flange lla defining the orifice 12 of the plug 1 and, on the other hand towards the inside to form a support and a seal llb with the neck 13 of the container 2.
  • the collar lla has a smaller diameter than that of the skirt 7.
  • the body 4 can be the subject of other embodiments or variants of that described.
  • the flange can be arranged to form a pouring spout.
  • an additional skirt can be provided.
  • the cover 5 comprises, in the embodiment shown, a transverse end wall 14 and a side skirt 15.
  • the body 4 and the cover 5 are associated with each other by pivoting around a transverse peripheral hinge 16.
  • the hinge 16 is located substantially at the junction of the two skirts 7,15.
  • the cover 5 is, relative to the body 4, either in a closed situation or in an open situation where, respectively, it obtains the shutter or allows the opening of the orifice from the body.
  • the skirts 7 and 15 are located substantially in extension of one another.
  • the closure means 6 are associated with the body 4 and the cover 5.
  • sealing means comprise on the one hand, a flexible cover 17 which originally is rigidly associated with the body to close its orifice but is removable by tearing for its subsequent opening and, on the other hand a seal 18 which once the cover ripped off and when the cover is in the closed position is secured to the cover and capable of closing the orifice.
  • the cover 17 can be made for example of aluminum or an aluminum-based complex.
  • the seal 18 can be made for example of plastic foam.
  • the cover 17 comprises in the first place a portion forming a cover 17a, rigidly associated with the periphery of the orifice of the body by welding, gluing or the like.
  • the cover 17 comprises, secondly, at its periphery an extension part 19, relative to the part 17a.
  • the extension part 19 forms, given that it passes between the body 4 and the cover 5, an protruding part 20.
  • the protruding part 20 is therefore external to the plug 1 and visible to the user.
  • the protruding part 20 which forms part of the cover 17 therefore constitutes or therefore forms part of an apparent witness to the inviolability of the plug 1.
  • the parts 19, 20 are peripherally located, each unique and together form a tongue.
  • This tongue is at least substantially diametrically opposite the hinge 16.
  • This tongue in addition to being the apparent witness to the indicated inviolability, also constitutes a tongue for tearing off the cover 17.
  • one or the other of the parts 19, 20 extends over all or substantially the entire periphery of the cover, of the plug respectively or is multiple or separate.
  • extension part 19 could extend over the entire periphery of the part 17a while the projecting part 20 could be multiple or separate and form kinds of petals around the part 19.
  • the skirt 7 of the body 4, towards the wall 10, is chamfered at 21.
  • This chamfer 21 towards the inside forms a hollow zone which defines a housing for the protruding part 20.
  • This chamfer 21 also forms a peripheral recess at the junction of the body 4 and of the cover 5 for the passage of the projecting part 20.
  • the lateral skirt of the cover has, vertically above the chamfer 21 of the external skirt of the body, a projecting edge 22 outwards.
  • This projecting edge 22 protects the passage through the projecting part 20.
  • the projecting part 20 has a structure identical or substantially identical to that of the part forming the cover itself.
  • one or both of the parts 19, 20 comprises, in addition to the structure of the part 17 a, additional functional means in the form of one or more additional layers, a or several treatments, one or more organs ensuring, participating in or favoring the holding, the gripping, the tearing off of the cover.
  • cover 17 and the seal 18 are originally either integral but subsequently separable from one another, or separated from one another.
  • the choice of this embodiment determines the method of manufacturing the stopper.
  • the body and the cover are produced separately and subsequently assembled.
  • the part 20 is visible, which makes it possible to see that the inviolability of the stopper is ensured.
  • the cover 5 can be opened by the user.
  • Part 20 serves as an indication of the gripping area for the opening.
  • the cover 5 being open, the user can tear off or peel or fracture in any way the cover 17 by removing it and removing the protruding part 20.
  • the plug 1 may include a temporary means for holding the part protruding 20 against the body 4. This means is for example a spot of glue or welding or a wire or protective film.
