Definitions

  • the present invention relates to shaped metal containers whatever, for example truncopyramidal, and intended to contain painting in particular. After filling, these containers are typically closed by a lid.
  • the invention relates more particularly to a method of closing such containers. It also relates to a machine for the implementation of this process.
  • the truncopyramidal or cylindrical containers are closed with a lid with legs, perpendicular to the plane of the lid.
  • a container of this type is described in document FR-2 248 097.
  • the lid After filling the container, the lid is placed on it last, a seal being placed between the container and the lid, at the periphery of the opening of the container. There is pressure on the cover to compress the seal and this pressure is maintained in blocking the legs, under the edge of the container.
  • the lid is relatively difficult to remove. He is in indeed, it is necessary to lift each tab to disengage the cover, this which is tedious. Moreover, when we want to put back in place the cover, it is difficult to seal the closure.
  • Another metal container is known from GB-A-2,033,880.
  • This container has a lid attached to the container by means of a deformation of the only lid.
  • the edge of container is provided with a stapling reinforcement.
  • We fix the lid by stamping the single lid to a level just below the reinforced edge of the container.
  • the subject of the invention is thus a method of closing a metal container with a lid having a bottom, a wall side and a flange, according to which a gasket is placed in periphery of the opening of the container and the lid being placed on the container, apply a pressure on the lid to crush the seal between the container and the rim of the lid,
  • the lid is fixed on the container in embossing the wall of the lid and the wall of the container which causes deformation of these walls to the outside of the container.
  • the lid and the wall of the container are stamped at points or segments distributed around the periphery of the container.
  • the stamping is preferably carried out in each corner of the container.
  • a stamping of the side wall of the lid on the container is advantageously made in the large walls of the container and, preferably, substantially in the center of these walls, when the nature of the product contained in the container requires it.
  • the stamping of the lid on the container is realized in regularly distributed points or segments.
  • the rim of the lid advantageously has a concavity turned towards the bottom of the lid, in which said seal is placed seal and ends with an edge rolled outward from the lid.
  • the invention also covers the implementation of the method of closing by means of a machine.
  • This machine comprises means for applying a force of compression on the lid when this one is in place on the container and means to achieve stamping the lid on the container.
  • FIG. 1 shows a known truncopyramidal container, having a bottom 2 and near the latter, a ring 3.
  • Such a container may also include a rod 4, at least in the corners, to allow separation easily stacked containers.
  • a handle 5 can also to be planned.
  • the container 1 is closed by a lid 6 conventionally used so far. It has a background, no shown in Figure 1, and a rim 7 which extends by a series of legs 8 substantially perpendicular to the bottom plane of the lid. The free edge 9 of the legs is returned to the outside.
  • the lid 6 is fixed on the container 1 by blocking the legs 8 under the edge of the container.
  • a seal sealing is provided between the container 1 and the lid 6, on the periphery of the opening of the container.
  • an example of a cover 10 for the implementation of the closure method according to the invention essentially comprises: a bottom 11, a side wall 12 and a rim 13 whose concavity is turned towards the bottom 11.
  • the ledge ends with a edge 14 rolled towards the outside of the lid. This rolled edge gives a point of stiffness when opening the container.
  • the lid 10 does not include any fixing lug, this and the rolled edge 14 which defines the periphery of the lid.
  • a recess 30 is provided in the side wall 12 of the cover 10. This recess is advantageously provided to allow a good stackability of the lids upon delivery and facilitate the automatic distribution of lids.
  • FIGS 3a to 3c will illustrate the closing method according to the invention.
  • Figure 3a partially shows a container 1 classical metal, for example of shape frustopyramidal. It has a free edge 15 rolled towards the inside of the container and a ring 4 to facilitate the separation of the stacked containers.
  • This container 1 has not undergone any modification by compared to known containers. Moreover, as we will see later, the closing process according to the invention applies to shaped containers any, and in particular to cylindrical containers.
  • the container 1 is of the full opening type, that is to say no element is present inside the container, at the level of its opening. With this guy the inner edge of the container is not likely to retain some of the material contained in the container and so it is easily cleaned. This facilitates subsequent recycling of the container.
  • the lid 10 according to the invention is place in the opening 16 of the container, a seal sealing 17 being placed in the concavity of the rim 13. This step ends when the seal 17 comes into contact with the rolled edge 15 of the container 1.
  • Figure 3b shows the next stage of implementation of the method according to the invention, in which the seal seal 17 is compressed by exerting a force represented by the arrow F in one direction substantially parallel to the walls of the container and directed towards its bottom.
  • the force F is maintained for keep the seal 17 compressed and the lid 10 is fixed on the container by stamping the wall 12 of the cover 10 and the wall 18 of the container 1 which causes deformation of these walls, outwards of the container.
  • This stamping is done in points 19 appropriately distributed, applying force represented by the arrow F1, in one direction substantially parallel to the bottom 11 of the container and directed from inside the container to its wall 18.
  • the method according to the invention ensures the closing the container with a lid thanks to stamping the latter directly on the container, without any other means of closure being necessary.
  • the points 19 stamping are distributed so appropriate, depending on the shape of the container.
  • the stamping points are preferably made in each of the four angles. Indeed, the corners are the most rigid parts. Moreover, the container wall is, in general, slightly arched in these areas and these stamping points contribute then to ensure the tightness of the container.
  • stamping points on the long sides of the container. This is particularly the case when the pressure the product contained in the container evolves after filling (eg hot or degassing product). These stamping points then ensure a good support of the lid.
  • the wall has a stiffness substantially identical in every respect.
  • the stamping points can thus be distributed regularly around the container.
  • the stamping is carried out according to segments, for example consisting of connected points between them. This makes it possible to increase the holding of the closure. By elsewhere, the lid can easily snap into segments, after opening the container. Indeed, stamping segments are more regular and accurate than points.
  • the closure obtained by the process according to the invention has been the subject of numerous checks. Tests performed have established that this closure presents the level of commonly required quality, as far as tightness and resistance to falling.
  • the method according to the invention makes it possible to modulate the quality of the closure.
  • the tightness of the closing is achieved by crushing the joint.
  • the compression that allows to crush the seal is set to that the sealing is ensured in all cases.
  • stamping can be adjusted in such a way that the container has more or less resistance important to shocks and internal pressure.
  • the cover 10 used for the implementation of the method according to the invention has only one edge rolled, on the outskirts. No bracket is necessary to ensure the closure of the container, which improves the aesthetics of the closed container.
  • Figure 4 shows how to open a container previously closed with the method according to the invention.
  • the tapered end 21 of a tool 20, of the type screwdriver, is first introduced under the rim 13 of the lid 10.
  • the handle 22 of the screwdriver 20 is then turned around of its axis, which causes the lifting of the lid.
  • the screwdriver 20 is inserted under the rim 13 at corner or corner level. Since a corner is unlocked, the lid opens completely.
  • the opening of the container can thus be carried out in a single operation. This is an advantage considerable compared to closed containers so classic, such as that illustrated in Figure 1, opening can only be achieved by lifting each paws. The opening of such containers therefore requires as many operations as legs, which is tedious for the user.
  • Figure 5 shows a machine example, for the implementation of the closure process according to the invention.
  • Figure 5a corresponds to the process step of closure, illustrated in Figure 3b.
  • the machine 23 comprises a plate 24 having a recess 25 at the periphery. Dimensions and shape the plateau and the offset are chosen in such a way that that the lower part 26 of the tray gets into the opening 16 of the container, while the recess 25 bears on the rim 13 of the lid 10.
  • the machine 23 also comprises means 26 for achieve the stamping points 19 or segments.
  • the means 26 are constituted by a plurality of punches 27 fixed on arms 28, themselves pivotally mounted on the plateau 24, around an axis parallel to the plane of the plateau. In FIG. 5b, only one arm 28 and one punch 27 are shown, the arm 28 being pivotally mounted around the axis 29.
  • the machine 23 has as many punches 27 as there are stamping points 19 provided.
  • An arm 28 can carry a or more punches.
  • the machine 23 maintains the compression force F and the stamping means 26 are actuated for make a stamping in 19.
  • the means 26 pivot about the axis 29 and the punch 27 then exerts in 19 a force represented by the arrow F1.
  • stamping are performed simultaneously, by actuating suitably the stamping means 26.
  • the importance of locking can be adjusted by changing the number of stamping points or segments, in particular to meet the requirements of the product contained by the container.
