Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a closure capsule, in particular for a container intended to contain a cosmetic product.
  • the invention relates more particularly to a capsule in two parts, that is to say comprising on the one hand a body to be fixed to the container, provided with a product dispensing orifice and other share a cover able to pivot between a closed position in which it covers said orifice for closing it and a position of full opening allowing the exit of the product.
  • US Patent 4,887,747 describes a capsule of this type, in which the cover is articulated on the body of the capsule by means a prismatic cross-section journal, rotating in bearings constituted by elastic clamps. Because of the particular shape of the journal, the clamps exert on the cover a torque varying according to its angular position and tending to recall it to its full opening or closing positions.
  • the realization of the pliers is relatively delicate and such capsule is complex and expensive to manufacture.
  • clips remain visible regardless of the position of the cover and spare between them and with the pin of the interstices in which can accommodate leftover product or other soiling, which is undesirable from an aesthetic point of view.
  • the cover rubs during its opening or closure on a flat region of the capsule body.
  • the present invention relates to a new capsule of closure which remedies all or part of the aforementioned drawbacks.
  • the end of the connecting member can be secured to the body of the capsule by any appropriate means, and especially by snap-fastening, gluing, welding.
  • the capsule cover and body can be easily made of different materials and / or with colors possibly different.
  • the capsule is also particularly aesthetic the absence of gaps at the regional level of articulation of the cover, compared to the capsule described in the aforementioned US Patent 4,887,747.
  • the cover comes into contact with the capsule body by its free edge during crossing of said relief.
  • the invention makes it possible to adopt a contour cover elliptical or circular with a notch to accommodate the liaison body.
  • the connecting member has one end shaped to snap into a slot in the body the capsule.
  • said slot extends parallel to the pivot axis of the cover.
  • the regions of the cover located on the one hand and on the other side of the film hinge come to rest during pivoting of the cover from its closed position to its position full opening, in recesses of the capsule body, before crossing said boss.
  • the cover passes through elastic deformation said relief, the elastic deformation of the material taking place on a first rotational stroke of the cover before crossing said relief, then the material resuming after crossing said relief its configuration initial on a second rotation stroke of the cover more shorter than the first.
  • the invention also relates to a container equipped with a closure cap as defined above.
  • closure cap 1 in two parts, in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the invention.
  • This capsule 1 comprises a body 2 to be fixed by snap-fastening on the neck of a container, not shown.
  • the body 2 acts as a section reducer and comprises a distribution orifice 3, symmetrical in revolution around a axis X, for the exit of the product contained in the container.
  • the capsule 1 also comprises a pivoting cover 4, movable between a position in which it is folded down on the body 2 for closing the dispensing orifice 3, as shown in Figure 1, and a fully open position where it extends obliquely away from the body 2 to clear the orifice distribution 3, as shown in figure 2.
  • the body 2 is fixed to the container neck by by means of two mounting lugs 5 shaped to follow the shape cylindrical neck and internally provided at their end bottom of a bead 6 intended to snap onto a relief of the collar.
  • These mounting lugs 5 are connected above a wall 7 perpendicular to the aforementioned X axis.
  • the wall 7 is connected at its periphery to a skirt 8 intended to hide the neck of the container.
  • the wall 7 has, in top view, an elliptical contour, the X axis being eccentric relative to the center of the ellipse, of which we have referenced Y the major axis in Figure 5.
  • the dispensing orifice 3 is provided with a lip re-entrant seal, which is lined with a lip concentric seal 10 intended to be applied to the surface radially inside the neck of the container.
  • a recess 11 is formed on the outer surface of the body 2 to allow the user to run your finger under the cover 4 to open the capsule 1, as this will be explained below.
  • the body 2 comprises, on the side opposite this recess 11, a slot 12 parallel to the Y axis.
  • This slot 12 is bordered axially by two recesses 13, as can be seen in FIG. 3, the role will be specified later.
  • the body 2 also comprises, between the slot 12 and the orifice distribution 3, an elongated boss 14 extending parallel to the Y axis over a length greater than that of the slot 12, so that its axial ends run along a some distance from the edge of the recesses 13.
  • the boss 14 In its end regions adjacent to recesses 13, the boss 14 is shaped so that its surface side facing the slot 12 comes in the extension of the surface of the recesses 13, as illustrated in FIG. 8.
  • the latter has, in top view, a size close to the wall 7 and as illustrated in FIG. 9, an elliptical contour.
  • the cover 4 is also slightly curved towards the exterior, as seen in Figures 10 and 11 in particular.
  • the cover 4 is also provided at its periphery with a substantially rectangular notch 18 which extends symmetrically from on either side of a median plane perpendicular to the Z axis.
  • An annular sealing lip 19 is produced on the face inside of the cover 4 to fit into the opening of distribution 3 in contact with the sealing lip 9 when the cover 4 is folded over the wall 7.
  • the cover 4 is connected by a film hinge 22 to a first end 21 of a connecting or anchoring member 23 intended to be inserted and snapped into the slot 12 of the body 2 by its second end 24.
  • the film hinge 22 is connected to the cover 4 at the bottom of the notch 18, as illustrated in FIG. 9, and allows the cover 4 to pivot about a geometric axis of rotation parallel to the Z axis and the Y axis.
  • the second end 24 of the anchoring member 23 is tapered and forms a step 25 intended to cross by deformation elastic the slot 12 and then return the cover 4 cannot be dismantled.
  • the anchoring member 23 is advantageously shaped so to be registered in top view in the continuity of the outline of the cover 4, as can be seen in Figures 9 and 13.
  • the inner surface of the cover 4 is hollowed out in the vicinity of the film hinge 22 to constitute a housing 26 intended for accommodate the boss 14 when the cover 4 is folded down on the body 2, as illustrated in figure 1.
  • the edge 27 of the cover 4 which is located opposite the anchoring member 23 slightly overhangs the recess 11, this which offers the user a grip allowing him to lift the cover 4 with his finger.
  • the path of the free edge 29 of the cover 4 at these regions 28 describes a circle C which intersects the surface of recesses 13 about a third of the way in the cover in the example described, either when the cover 4 has pivoted by approximately 45 °.
