Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a new closure device for a bottle or similar container having an opening for exit of the product contained inside, this device being of the type comprising a plug capable of being detachably retained on the bottle.
  • Ramps are made on the outside surface of the neck and the plug comprises positioning members intended to cooperate with these ramps to bring the plug into an angular position predetermined with respect to the bottle when it is put in place.
  • the bosses intended for the snap-fastening of the cap on the neck of the bottle have a relatively thick weak because otherwise they could not cross the annular bead to click on it.
  • the locking of the plug is not always straightforward and noticeable by the user, which is annoying from the point of view of user comfort.
  • Such a device does not offer complete satisfaction, in particular in terms of user comfort, by the way the cap is retained in the part mounted on the neck of the bottle.
  • One of the bottle or stopper further comprising at least one ramp inclined with respect to the direction of insertion of the member retainer in the opening of the bottle and the other of the bottle or plug comprising at least one positioning member shaped to take support on this ramp, so that the rotational drive of the stopper from its stopper position is accompanied by a axial displacement of the latter in the opening of the bottle and of a disengagement of the retaining member and the attachment means.
  • the retaining member and the means attachment can be achieved without thickness constraint if this cannot be introduced into the opening of the bottle. We can thus easily realize, if desired, the retaining member and the attachment means so as to cause the emission of a noise clearly noticeable by the user, which is how assured to have closed the bottle correctly.
  • the fact of housing the attachment means to the inside of the bottle protects them from possible dirt and the neck of the bottle can be completely free on its surface radially external means for retaining the plug, which can be aesthetically advantageous.
  • the fact of providing the cap with a retaining member intended to be introduced inside the bottle ensures that the plug can be made with an external dimension which has more necessarily to be greater than the diameter of the neck, to the difference of the closure device described in French patent 1 520 693 cited above. In other words, it is no longer necessary in the invention to provide between the plug and the outer surface of the neck special attachment means.
  • a closure device a bottle whose neck has an outside diameter equal to or close to the thickness of the bottle.
  • the plug can be made so that present an exterior surface which is in continuity with the outer surface of the bottle, once it is in place on it.
  • a closure device can also equip a bottle without a neck or with a very low neck.
  • the inclination of the or each ramp is chosen so that the axial movement of the cap, when the user brings it back on the bottle, is accompanied by a rotation bringing it into an angular position predetermined in relation to the bottle.
  • the closure device has two ramps converging on a line extending transversely to the direction of introduction of the retaining member in the opening of the bottle, preferably two flat ramps forming a re-entrant dihedral whose edge extends perpendicular to the direction of introduction of the retaining member into the opening of the bottle.
  • said attachment means are formed on a ring fixed in the opening of the bottle, the or each aforementioned ramp is preferably also formed on the Ring.
  • the bottle having a neck
  • the ring has an inner skirt engaged in the neck of the bottle, having a length greater than that of the collar, the skirt being in further axially split on its part extending inside the bottle and out of the neck to form at least two elastic tabs constituting said attachment means.
  • the retaining member is consisting of a rod provided with an annular groove.
  • the tongues said elastic then have at least one relief capable of snap into said groove when the plug is in place on the bottle.
  • the ring has, on its upper face, a recess in the form of a re-entrant dihedral, defining two flat ramps converging towards each other and joining along a straight line perpendicular to the direction introduction of the retaining member into the opening of the bottle, the ring also being crossed by an orifice serving for the passage of the product contained inside the bottle and at the introduction of said retaining member, the diameter of this orifice preferably being chosen so that the top edge of the hole is substantially tangent to the upper edge of each ramp.
  • the cap has two positioning members, aligned along a straight line perpendicular to the direction of introduction of the retaining member into the opening of the bottle and located on either side of the retaining member.
  • the subject of the invention is also a bottle or similar container. equipped with a closure device as mentioned above.
  • the subject of the invention is also a plug capable of be used for the production of a closure device as defined above, characterized in that it is provided with a retainer to be introduced into the opening of the bottle, capable of snapping removably on hooking means provided inside the bottle and preferably at least one positioning member for ensure the angular positioning of the cap when closing the bottle.
  • the invention also relates to a ring characterized by the fact that it has a tubular skirt to be introduced into the opening of the bottle and, on its upper face, a shaped recess for ensure the angular positioning of the cap when closing the bottle.
  • a plugging device can be produced. particularly aesthetic, can be adapted to a large number of flasks or similar containers.
  • each ramp can be made closer to the geometric axis of rotation of the cap than this is the case with example of the closure device described in the French patent 1 520 693 cited above.
  • the retaining member can also advantageously be shaped so as to seal the opening of the bottle, so that it is not necessary in this case to provide a sealing skirt on the cap specific.
  • the plug can be made of a rigid material if the attachment means are elastically deformable.
  • the body of the bottle 1 shown in FIG. 1 is produced by example in glass and has a neck 2 at its upper part, symmetrical of revolution around an axis of symmetry X. It is intended to contain a perfume for example.
  • the neck 2 is provided at its upper end with a rim annular 3 radially projecting outwards and it is intended to be fitted with a closure device according to the invention, comprising on the one hand a ring 4 to be fixed on the neck 2 and on the other hand a plug 5 which is shown in more detail on the figure 2.
  • This plug 5 comprises a retaining member 6, two positioning 7, only one of which is visible in the figure 2, and a body 8 whose external shape is linked to the appearance of the body from the bottle.
  • the retaining member 6 is constituted, as can be seen again in FIG. 4, by a symmetrical solid rod of revolution around the X axis, which connects at one end to the body 8 and which has a groove near the other end annular 9, which has a V-shaped profile.
  • the edge upper 10 of this groove 9 has a diameter which is greater than that from its lower edge 11.
  • the retaining member 6 is produced in the example described in a rigid plastic and it is attached to the body 8. In variant, it could be made in one piece with the body 8 by molding or machining.
  • the free end 12 of the rod forming the retaining member 6 is substantially conical, converging away from the body 8. This tip, convex outwards, facilitates centering of the organ retainer 6 when inserted into the ring 4.
  • Ring 4 has, as we can see more particularly in Figure 3, an inner tubular skirt 14 intended to be inserted into the collar 2 and an outer skirt 15 co-axial with the first and shaped to snap onto the rim annular 3 of the neck 2.
  • the skirt 15 is provided for this purpose with a annular bead 31 radially projecting inward.
  • the inner skirt 14 has an upper part 16 continuously cylindrical of revolution around the X axis and part lower cut by four longitudinal slots 17 extending parallel to the X axis and equally distributed around this axis.
  • the slots 17 delimit between them four tongues 20, radially flexible towards the outside, each having their radially inner face and near their end lower relief 22.
  • Each relief 22 has, in section in a section plane containing the X axis, a substantially triangular shape suitable for throat profile 9.
  • the inner skirt 14 has, in the example described, at its upper part 16, an outside diameter chosen to adjust to tightly in the neck 2 of the bottle 1.
  • a recess 24 is produced on the upper face of the ring 4.
  • This recess 24 is delimited by the outer skirt 15 and by a web of material 30 which joins the internal skirt 14 to the skirt exterior 15.
  • the recess 24 defines two ramps 25 converging towards a common edge 26 extending along a diameter of the outer skirt 15.
  • each ramp 25 is flat and inclined substantially at 45 ° relative to the X axis, the recess 24 having a V-shaped cross section.
  • the distribution orifice 26 opens into the recess 24 being delimited by two elliptical edges whose apex 27 is tangent to the upper edge 28 of the ramp 25 concerned.
  • the ring 4 is made for example of polypropylene, in polyamide or polyacetal.
  • the mounting of the ring 4 on the bottle 1 is carried out in inserting the internal skirt 14 into the neck 2 of the bottle until the snap-fastening of the outer skirt 15 on the annular rim 3.
  • the retaining member 6 is introduced in the ring 4 until the reliefs 22 cross, by elastic deformation of the tongues 20 outwards, the edge lower 11 of the groove 9 to snap into the latter.
  • the organs of positioning 7 which each have a dihedral shape, the stop of which is perpendicular to the X axis and whose section, observed in a plane of section perpendicular to this edge, is substantially complementary of the cross section of the recess 24, come into contact with the ramps 25 to transform the axial movement of the plug into a rotational movement, until the edge of the organs of positioning 7 reaches the bottom of the recess 24.
  • the snap of the retaining member 6 between the tongues 20 is accompanied by a clearly perceptible click by the user.
  • the retaining member 6 is advantageously dimensioned, as this is the case in the example described, in order to be able to seal so sealing the upper part 16 of the inner skirt 14, so as to stopper the bottle.
  • the retaining member does not provide not tight sealing of the bottle and a stopper is provided sealing skirt applied for example on the surface radially outer of the outer skirt 15.
  • the user turns the cap around of the X axis of the neck 2.
  • the positioning members 7 are supported during this rotation on the ramps 25 so that the rotation of the plug is accompanied by an upward axial translational movement, which causes the reliefs 22 and the groove 9 to disengage.
  • This disengagement can be carried out without excessive effort on a relatively small rotational travel, for example of an eighth of turn, thanks to the fact that the positioning members 7 and the ramps are relatively close to the X axis, which provides a relatively large lever when the user turns the cap by resting on the side faces of the plug furthest away of the X axis.
  • the attachment means can be in this case indifferently rigid or flexible.
  • the bottle has an open bottom during molding of the attachment means. Then the bottle has a bottom reported.
