Abstract

The container has a lid and a seal ring (5) which is flat prior to fitting. The container's upper rim (2) and the peripheral edge of the lid have a series of annular projections (8,9,11-13) which face towards the seal and squeeze it locally and prevent it from slipping. The peripheral edge of the lid has a concave recess (7) in its underside with two edge projections (8,9) and a central projection (13), while the container rim has a convex cross-section (10) and two annular projections (11,12) which fit between those of the lid. The projections are rounded in section, with a radius of curvature of 0.3-0.5 mm.

Description

La présente invention concerne un récipient en verre destiné à la conserve des produits alimentaires.The present invention relates to a container made of glass for preserving food products.

Il existe aujourd'hui de nombreux récipients en verre comprenant un bocal, un couvercle et un joint interposé entre les deux qui sont utilisés pour la réalisation de conserves que celles-ci soient domestiques ou industrielles.Today there are many containers in glass including a jar, a lid and a seal interposed between the two that are used for the realization canned food whether domestic or industrial.

Un tel bocal est montré dans le document FR-A-1 458 473, base pour le préambule de la revendication 1.Such a jar is shown in document FR-A-1 458 473, basis for the preamble of claim 1.

Le principe mis en oeuvre dans ces récipients est la création d'un vide à l'intérieur de celui-ci qui conduit au maintien, sous l'effet de la pression différentielle entre l'intérieur et l'extérieur du récipient, du couvercle plaqué sur le bord supérieur du récipient avec le joint écrasé entre eux qui assure l'étanchéité de la fermeture.The principle used in these containers is creating a vacuum inside of it which leads on hold, under the effect of differential pressure between inside and outside of container, lid plated on the upper edge of the container with the seal crushed between them which seals the closure.

Il existe plusieurs manières de faire le vide à l'intérieur du récipient selon qu'il s'agit de conserves domestiques ou de conserves industrielles.There are several ways to vacuum inside the container depending on whether it is canned domestic or industrial preserves.

Dans le premier cas, le vide résulte du refroidissement du récipient à la sortie du stérilisateur dans lequel le couvercle a été maintenu attelé au bocal par des pinces métalliques.In the first case, the vacuum results from cooling from the container at the outlet of the sterilizer into which the cover was kept coupled to the jar by metal clips.

Dans le second cas le couvercle est posé sur le bocal avec le joint interposé et on constitue des piles de récipients que l'on place sous une cloche à vide. Lorsqu'un certain degré de vide est atteint à l'intérieur du bocal, les couvercles étant maintenus fermement contre le bocal ou expose les bocaux à la pression atmosphérique ce qui a pour effet de maintenir le couvercle hermétiquement plaqué sur le bocal.In the second case the cover is placed on the jar with the seal interposed and piles of containers that are placed under a vacuum bell. when a certain degree of vacuum is reached inside the jar, the lids being held firmly against the jar or expose the jars to atmospheric pressure which has effect of keeping the lid tightly pressed on the jar.

Dans le cas d'une production industrielle, les récipients sont manoeuvrés par des moyens de manutention, notamment avant leur passage sous cloche à vide alors que le couvercle n'est que simplement posé sur le bocal. Les vibrations subies par ces récipients sont de nature à décentrer les couvercles et à altérer la qualité de la fermeture du bocal. In the case of industrial production, the containers are operated by handling means, especially before their passage under vacuum bell while the lid is simply placed on the jar. The vibrations undergone by these receptacles are likely to decenter the covers and alter the quality of the closing the jar.

Pour pallier au moins en partie ces défauts, il a été proposé de prévoir des profils de contact entre couvercle et bocal qui assure un centrage plus précis que le centrage assuré normalement par une partie du couvercle rentrant à l'intérieur du bocal. Ces profils coopèrent par emboítement, c'est-à-dire que le bord annulaire supérieur du bocal est de profil convexe alors que le rebord du couvercle en regard est concave. Par ailleurs, le joint interposé en forme de rondelle plane au repos est suffisamment fin et souple pour que sous le simple poids du couvercle, il se cintre transversalement.To at least partially remedy these faults, it has been proposed to provide contact profiles between lid and jar which ensures more precise centering than centering normally provided by part of the cover going inside the jar. These profiles cooperate by interlocking, that is to say that the upper annular edge of the jar is convex in profile while the rim of the facing cover is concave. Furthermore, the joint interposed in the form of a flat washer at rest is sufficient thin and flexible so that under the simple weight of the cover, it bends transversely.

On a cependant constaté que le cintrage du joint présente un inconvénient. En effet, lorsque la pression extérieure au récipient est rétablie, il se produit quelquefois, sous l'effet du gradient de pression entre l'intérieur et l'extérieur, une poussée radiale sur le joint dirigée vers l'intérieur du récipient qui tend à en faire glisser une partie vers l'intérieur, glissement qui. est favorisé par la forme en gouttière du canal dans lequel est logé déformé le joint.However, it was found that the bending of the joint has a drawback. Indeed, when the pressure outside the container is restored it occurs sometimes under the effect of the pressure gradient between inside and outside, a radial push on the seal directed towards the inside of the container which tends to drag a part inward, sliding that. is favored by the gutter shape of the channel in which the seal is deformed.

Par la présente invention, on se propose de. remédier à cet inconvénient par une forme particulière de l'un au moins des profils du bord supérieur du bocal et du couvercle en regard l'un de l'autre.By the present invention, it is proposed to. remedy this drawback by a particular form of at least one of the profiles of the upper edge of the jar and the cover facing each other.

A cet effet l'invention a donc pour objet un récipient en verre destiné à conserver un produit alimentaire comportant un bocal, un couvercle et un anneau de joint plat au repos interposé entre un bord supérieur du bocal et un rebord annulaire périphérique du couvercle, le bord supérieur du bocal ayant, vu en section radiale, un profil généralement convexe tandis que la surface inférieure du rebord du couvercle, vu en section radiale, a un profil généralement concave, les profils ayant des reliefs pour obtenir une deformation locale du joint au droit de ces reliefs lors du rapprochement du couvercle et du bocal. Le profil de la face inférieur du rebord du couvercle est celui d'une gorge dans laquelle le joint se cintre sous l'effet du poids du couvercle et dont les bords annulaires tournés vers le joint forment chacun un bourrelet continu d'écrasement local du joint destiné à s'incruster dans ce dernier et en constituer un moyen de retenue contre son glissement entre les profils. D'autres bourrelets d'incrustation peuvent être ménagés sur un seul des profils concave ou convexe ou répartis sur chacun d'eux. Le nombre peut être supérieur à deux par exemple trois comme cela sera décrit ci-après.To this end the invention therefore relates to a glass container for storing food with a jar, a lid and a ring flat seal at rest interposed between an upper edge of the jar and a peripheral annular rim of the cover, the upper edge of the jar having, seen in radial section, a generally convex profile while the lower surface of the cover rim, seen in radial section, has a generally concave profile, the profiles having reliefs to obtain a local deformation of the joint at the right of these reliefs when the lid and the jar are brought together. The profile of the underside of the lid rim is that of a groove in which the seal bends under the effect of the weight of the cover and whose annular edges are turned towards the joint each forms a continuous bead of crushing local seal intended to become embedded in the latter and constitute a means of restraint against its sliding between profiles. Other inlay beads may be formed on a single concave or convex profile or spread over each of them. The number can be greater than two for example three as will be described below.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention ressortiront de la description ci-après de plusieurs modes de réalisation.Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will emerge from the description below of several embodiments.

Il sera fait référence aux dessins annexés parmi lesquels :

  • la figure 1 est une vue en coupe partielle d'un mode de réalisation d'un récipient conforme à l'invention;
  • la figure 2 illustre une première variante de réalisation de la figure 1
  • la figure 3 illustre une seconde variante de réalisation de l'invention.
Reference will be made to the appended drawings, in which:
  • Figure 1 is a partial sectional view of an embodiment of a container according to the invention;
  • Figure 2 illustrates a first alternative embodiment of Figure 1
  • Figure 3 illustrates a second alternative embodiment of the invention.

Chacune de ces figures est une vue partielle en coupe radiale à grande échelle d'un récipient au niveau de la zone de coopération entré le couvercle et le bord supérieur du bocal, zone où sont mis en oeuvre les moyens de l'invention.Each of these figures is a partial view in large-scale radial section of a container at the cooperation area between the cover and the edge top of the jar, area where the means are used of the invention.

Ainsi le récipient comporte un bocal 1 qui est un corps de révolution creux dont le bord supérieur 2 présente un profil représenté aux figures et un couvercle 3 également de révolution présentant un rebord annulaire 4 dont le profil est également représenté aux figures, placé en regard du bord supérieur 2 du bocal lorsqu'il coiffe ce bocal. Un joint 5 annulaire plan au repos est interposé entre le bocal et le couvercle. Ce joint et le bord supérieur du bocal sont représentés en traits mixtes en l'absence de vide à l'intérieur du bocal et en traits pleins lorsque le bocal est fermé de manière étanche. Thus the container comprises a jar 1 which is a hollow body of revolution whose upper edge 2 has a profile shown in the figures and a cover 3 also of revolution having an annular rim 4, the profile is also shown in the figures, placed in look of the upper edge 2 of the jar when it covers this jar. A flat annular seal 5 at rest is interposed between the jar and the lid. This joint and the edge upper part of the jar are shown in phantom in the absence of vacuum inside the jar and in lines full when the jar is tightly closed.

Sur les figures, on voit que le profil du bord 2 supérieur du bocal 1 est de forme générale convexe tandis que le profil de la surface inférieure du rebord 4 du couvercle est de forme générale concave. Ainsi, même quand le couvercle repose simplement par son propre poids sur le bocal avec le joint 5 interposé, ce joint en matériau souple est légèrement contraint en cintrage ce qui le fait passer d'une forme plane à une forme sensiblement torique.In the figures, it can be seen that the profile of the edge 2 top of the jar 1 is generally convex while that the profile of the lower surface of the rim 4 of the cover is generally concave. So even when the cover simply rests by its own weight on the jar with seal 5 interposed, this seal made of material flexible is slightly constrained in bending which makes it go from a planar shape to a substantially toroidal shape.

Telle que représentée à la figure 1, la surface inférieure 6 du rebord 4 du couvercle est une surface plane creusée d'une gorge 7 à fond plat. Les deux zones de raccordement des flancs de la gorge 7 à la surface 6 forment un relief 8, 9 tourné vers le joint, de petit rayon de courbure (par exemple de l'ordre de 0,5 mm). A cette même figure, la surface supérieure 10 du bord supérieur 2 du bocal 1 est de forme générale convexe (approximativement une surface torique) et est équipée de deux reliefs 11 et 12 formant ici des bourrelets continus qui sont tournés en direction du joint 5 et qui sont dans une position telle que leur projection dans le plan de la surface 6 lorsque comme représenté, le couvercle coiffe le bocal, est contenue dans la gorge 7 à fond plat.As shown in Figure 1, the surface bottom 6 of the rim 4 of the cover is a flat surface hollowed out of a groove 7 with a flat bottom. The two areas of connection of the sides of the groove 7 to the surface 6 form a relief 8, 9 facing the joint, of small radius curvature (for example of the order of 0.5 mm). At this same figure, the upper surface 10 of the upper edge 2 of jar 1 is generally convex in shape (approximately a toric surface) and is equipped with two reliefs 11 and 12 here forming continuous beads which are turned in direction of the joint 5 and which are in such a position that their projection in the plane of the surface 6 when as shown, the cover covers the jar, is contained in throat 7 with a flat bottom.

Les reliefs 8, 9 et 11, 12 contraignent le joint à pénétrer à l'intérieur de la gorge 7 sous le simple effet du poids du couvercle et donc à se cintrer comme représenté en traits mixtes. Lorsqu'une pression agit sur le couvercle (par le jeu de la différence de pression entre l'intérieur et l'extérieur du récipient), les reliefs 8, 9, 11 et 12 s'incrustent dans le joint, ce qui le retient contre un déplacement latéral en direction du centre du couvercle et créent deux zones de pincement où le joint est fortement comprimé, ce qui garantit l'étanchéité de la fermeture.The reliefs 8, 9 and 11, 12 constrain the joint to penetrate inside the throat 7 under the simple effect the weight of the cover and therefore to bend as shown in dashed lines. When a pressure acts on the cover (by the play of the pressure difference between the interior and the outside of the container), the reliefs 8, 9, 11 and 12 become embedded in the joint, which holds it against a lateral movement towards the center of the cover and create two pinch zones where the joint is strongly compressed, which guarantees the sealing of the closure.

A la figure 2, la variante représentée comporte un relief 13 au centre du fond plat de la rainure 7 du rebord du couvercle tandis que la surface supérieure 10 du bord supérieur du bocal est dépourvue de relief. Le joint est également cintré sous l'effet du simple poids du couvercle, comme dans le cas précédent. En service, il est comprimé entre les deux surfaces 6, 7 et 10 avec trois lignes de compression plus forte au droit des reliefs 8, 9 et 13 du couvercle, là où le pincement est plus important. Le relief 13 est en forme de bourrelet à section circulaire dont le rayon sera au plus égal à celui des reliefs 8 et 9 (par exemple 0,5 mm).In FIG. 2, the variant shown comprises a relief 13 in the center of the flat bottom of the groove 7 of the rim of the cover while the upper surface 10 of the top edge of the jar is devoid of relief. Gasket is also bent under the effect of the simple weight of the cover, as in the previous case. In service, it is compressed between the two surfaces 6, 7 and 10 with three lines of greater compression in relief of the reliefs 8, 9 and 13 of the cover, where the pinching is more important. The relief 13 is in the form of a bead with circular section whose radius will be at most equal to that of reliefs 8 and 9 (for example 0.5 mm).

La figure 3 est l'illustration d'une variante qui est une combinaison des deux précédentes et sur laquelle on retrouve chacun des éléments déjà décrits avec les mêmes références. Les reliefs 11 et 12 du bord supérieur du bocal sont placés en regard du fond plat de la gorge 7 pour encadrer le relief central 13 du fond de cette gorge. Les zones de fort pincement du joint sont alors multipliées et on réalise un véritable joint en chicane qui possède des qualités d'étanchéité améliorée. Enfin la correspondance de forme entre le sillon formé entre les bourrelets 11 et 12 sur le bocal pour accueillir le relief 13 et les sillons de part et d'autre de ce bourrelet dans la surface inférieure du rebord du couvercle pour accueillir les bourrelets 8 et 9, sillons qui sont nettement plus larges que les bourrelets qu'ils accueillent, favorisent lors de la compression du joint 5 un recentrement du couvercle par rapport au bocal si celui-ci avait été déposé de manière légèrement décentrée.Figure 3 is an illustration of a variant which is a combination of the previous two and on which we find each of the elements already described with the same references. The reliefs 11 and 12 of the upper edge of the jar are placed opposite the flat bottom of the groove 7 to frame the central relief 13 at the bottom of this groove. The areas of strong pinching of the joint are then multiplied and we make a real chicane joint that has improved sealing qualities. Finally the correspondence of form between the groove formed between the beads 11 and 12 on the jar to accommodate the relief 13 and the furrows of on either side of this bead in the lower surface of the edge of the cover to accommodate the beads 8 and 9, grooves which are markedly wider than the beads that they welcome, favor during compression of the seal 5 a recentering of the cover relative to the jar if it had been placed slightly decentered.

Par ailleurs si, de fabrication, il y avait une ovalisation du bord supérieur du bocal, la largeur du sillon séparant les deux reliefs 8 et 9 est suffisante pour tolérer cette ovalisation, sachant qu'une ovalisation trop importante constitue un défaut de fabrication qui conduit directement à l'élimination de la pièce.Furthermore, if there was a manufacturing ovalization of the upper edge of the jar, the width of the groove separating the two reliefs 8 and 9 is sufficient to tolerate this ovalization, knowing that an ovalization too important constitutes a manufacturing defect which leads directly to the disposal of the part.
