Abstract

The plugging system for a package (1) which has an opening (2) sealed by a disc (3) comprises a neck (5) with a base (7) which can be fixed around the opening. A cap (9) seals the orifice (11) in the neck. The disc which is housed in the neck is torn by pulling a gripping handle (17) on a rigid base (12) resting on the disc. The gripping handle is accessible through the neck when the cap is separated from the neck.

Description

La présente invention concerne un système de bouchage pour un emballage pourvu d'une ouverture obturée par une pastille, ledit système comportant :

  • un goulot pourvu d'une embase apte à être fixée sur ledit emballage, autour de ladite ouverture ; et
  • un bouchon apte à obturer l'orifice dudit goulot.
The present invention relates to a closure system for a packaging provided with an opening closed by a pellet, said system comprising:
  • a neck provided with a base capable of being fixed on said packaging, around said opening; and
  • a plug capable of closing the orifice of said neck.

Dans les systèmes de bouchage de ce type connus, par exemple par le document EP-A-0 331 798, on prévoit des moyens d'ouverture de ladite pastille, portés par ledit bouchon. Celui-ci étant vissable sur le goulot, lesdits moyens d'ouverture tournent au moment du dévissage du bouchon, entraínant le déchirement de ladite pastille par torsion. Il en résulte que les bords de ladite pastille ne sont pas déchirés de façon nette.In known closure systems of this type, for example by document EP-A-0 331 798, means are provided for opening said pellet, carried by said plug. This being screwable on the neck, said opening means rotate at the time of unscrewing the plug, causing the tearing of said pellet by twisting. The result that the edges of said patch are not torn clearly.

La présente invention a pour objet de remédier à cet inconvénient et elle concerne un système de bouchage dans lequel l'ouverture de ladite pastille est réalisée par traction et non plus par déchirement en torsion.The object of the present invention is to remedy this drawback and it relates to a closure system in which the opening of said The patch is produced by traction and no longer by torsional tearing.

A cette fin, selon l'invention le système de bouchage pour un emballage pourvu d'une ouverture obturée par une pastille, du type rappelé ci-dessus, est remarquable en ce qu'il comporte un dispositif d'arrachement par traction de ladite pastille d'obturation, logé dans ledit goulot et comprenant :

  • une semelle rigide reposant sur ladite pastille d'obturation et solidaire de celle-ci ; et
  • des moyens de préhension de ladite semelle, accessibles à travers ledit goulot lorsque ledit bouchon est séparé dudit goulot et permettant d'exercer une traction sur ladite semelle pour entraíner celle-ci, avec au moins une partie de ladite pastille d'obturation, hors dudit goulot et à travers celui-ci.
To this end, according to the invention the closure system for a packaging provided with an opening closed by a pellet, of the type recalled above, is remarkable in that it comprises a device for pulling out by pulling said pellet. shutter, housed in said neck and comprising:
  • a rigid sole resting on said sealing pad and integral with the latter; and
  • means for gripping said sole, accessible through said neck when said plug is separated from said neck and making it possible to exert traction on said sole to drive the latter, with at least part of said closure pad, outside said neck and through it.

Ainsi, les moyens d'élimination de la pastille sont indépendants du bouchon et de sa rotation.Thus, the means of eliminating the pellet are independent of the plug and its rotation.

De préférence, l'embase et la pastille sont portées par la face extérieure de l'emballage et la périphérie de la pastille est collée à la périphérie de l'ouverture. Ainsi, en tirant lesdits moyens de préhension, on peut désolidariser la pastille de l'emballage (par décollement et/ou déchirement par traction) par l'intermédiaire de la semelle solidarisée, par exemple par collage, de ladite pastille. On obtient alors une ouverture particulièrement propre et nette de l'emballage.Preferably, the base and the pad are carried by the outer face of the packaging and the periphery of the patch is glued to the periphery of the opening. Thus, by pulling said gripping means, we can separate the tablet from the packaging (by peeling and / or tearing by traction) via the integral sole, by example by gluing, of said pellet. We then obtain a particularly clean and tidy of the packaging.

On remarquera que, grâce au système de bouchage conforme à la présente invention, il n'est pas nécessaire que la semelle recouvre la totalité de la pastille. Au contraire, il est avantageux que ladite semelle ne recouvre qu'une partie de cette dernière.It will be noted that, thanks to the closure system conforming to the present invention, it is not necessary that the sole covers the entire of the lozenge. On the contrary, it is advantageous that said sole does not covers only part of it.

Dans un mode de réalisation avantageux, la semelle est solidaire de la paroi interne du goulot par des points de liaison cassables et lesdits moyens de préhension sont formés par une languette articulée à ladite semelle. Ainsi, le goulot, l'embase, la semelle rigide et les moyens de préhension peuvent former une seule pièce, dans laquelle ladite semelle rigide et lesdits moyens de préhension sont liés au goulot et à l'embase par lesdits points de liaison cassables. Une telle pièce peut être réalisée en une matière synthétique, par toute technique appropriée.In an advantageous embodiment, the sole is integral of the internal wall of the neck by breakable connection points and said gripping means are formed by a tongue articulated to said sole. Thus, the neck, the base, the rigid sole and the means of gripping can form a single piece, in which said sole rigid and said gripping means are linked to the neck and the base by said breakable connection points. Such a part can be made in a synthetic material, by any suitable technique.

Par ailleurs, avantageusement, ladite languette est élastiquement articulée à la semelle pour pouvoir prendre, soit une position redressée faisant saillie hors de l'orifice dudit goulot lorsque le bouchon est séparé dudit goulot, soit une position contrainte de repliement à l'intérieur dudit goulot lorsque ledit bouchon est en place sur celui-ci, le bouchon servant alors de butée à ladite languette. Furthermore, advantageously, said tongue is elastically articulated to the sole to be able to take either an upright position protruding from the orifice of said neck when the cap is separated of said neck, that is to say a constrained folding position inside said neck when said plug is in place thereon, the plug serving then from abutment to said tongue.

Dans le cas où la largeur de la semelle est plus petite que le diamètre de l'orifice du goulot, celui-ci peut comporter au moins une partie rétrécie, ladite semelle étant liée à ladite partie rétrécie par au moins un point de liaison cassable.In case the width of the sole is smaller than the diameter the opening of the neck, this may include at least part narrowed, said sole being linked to said narrowed part by at least one breakable connection point.

Les figures du dessin annexé feront bien comprendre comment l'invention peut être réalisée. Sur ces figures, des références identiques désignent des éléments semblables.The figures in the accompanying drawing will make it clear how the invention can be realized. In these figures, identical references denote similar elements.

La figure 1 est une vue en plan d'un mode de réalisation du système de bouchage conforme à la présente invention, le bouchon dudit système étant supposé transparent.Figure 1 is a plan view of an embodiment of the system plug according to the present invention, the plug of said system is supposed to be transparent.

Les figures 2 et 3 sont des coupes diamétrales, respectivement selon les lignes II-II et III-III de la figure 1, ledit bouchon y étant représenté en place sur le goulot.Figures 2 and 3 are cross sections, respectively according to lines II-II and III-III of Figure 1, said plug being shown there in place on the neck.

Le système de bouchage, conforme à la présente invention et représenté sur les figures 1 à 3, est destiné à être monté sur un emballage, dont seule une portion de paroi 1 est représentée sur les figures. Cette paroi 1, par exemple en carton ou analogue, comporte une ouverture 2 obturée par une pastille 3, qui est portée par la face extérieure 1E de la paroi 1 et dont la périphérie 3P est collée à l'aide d'une matière adhésive 4 à la périphérie de l'ouverture 2. Cette pastille 3 est par exemple en aluminium ou analogue.The closure system, according to the present invention and shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, is intended to be mounted on a package, of which only a portion of wall 1 is shown in the figures. This wall 1, for example of cardboard or the like, has an opening 2 closed by a pad 3, which is carried by the outer face 1E of the wall 1 and whose periphery 3P is glued using an adhesive material 4 at the periphery of the opening 2. This patch 3 is for example in aluminum or the like.

Le système de bouchage conforme à la présente invention comporte un goulot 5 pourvu, sur sa face latérale, d'un filetage extérieur 6 et, à son extrémité dirigée vers l'emballage 1, d'une embase 7, collée sur la face extérieure 1E de la paroi 1, autour de l'ouverture 2 et de la pastille 3, au moyen d'une couche adhésive 8. Le système de bouchage comporte de plus un bouchon 9 pourvu d'un filetage intérieur 10 susceptible de coopérer avec le filetage extérieur 6 du goulot 5. Ainsi, par vissage et dévissage dudit bouchon 9, on peut obturer ou ouvrir l'orifice 11 formé par le goulot 5, à l'opposé de l'embase 7.The closure system according to the present invention comprises a neck 5 provided, on its lateral face, with an external thread 6 and, at its end directed towards the packaging 1, of a base 7, glued to the outer face 1E of the wall 1, around the opening 2 and the patch 3, by means of an adhesive layer 8. The sealing system comprises in addition a plug 9 provided with an internal thread 10 capable to cooperate with the external thread 6 of the neck 5. Thus, by screwing and unscrewing said plug 9, one can close or open the orifice 11 formed through the neck 5, opposite the base 7.

Conformément à la présente invention, ledit système de bouchage comporte un dispositif d'arrachement de la pastille d'obturation 3 par traction, qui est logé à l'intérieur du goulot 5 et qui comporte une semelle rigide 12 reposant sur au moins une partie de la pastille d'obturation 3 et solidaire de celle-ci au moyen d'une couche de colle 13. La semelle 12 est de plus solidarisée de la paroi interne du goulot 5 au moyen de points de liaison cassables 14, 15 et 16. De plus, de la semelle 13 est solidarisée une languette 17, articulée élastiquement sur ladite semelle.According to the present invention, said closure system includes a device for tearing off the sealing disc 3 by traction, which is housed inside the neck 5 and which has a sole rigid 12 resting on at least part of the sealing pad 3 and secured to the latter by means of a layer of adhesive 13. The sole 12 is moreover secured to the internal wall of the neck 5 by means of points breakable link 14, 15 and 16. In addition, the sole 13 is secured a tongue 17, articulated elastically on said sole.

Ainsi, lorsque le bouchon 9 est en place sur le goulot 5 pour obturer l'orifice 11, la languette 17 est repliée à l'intérieur dudit goulot et prend élastiquement appui sur ledit bouchon, comme cela est représenté en traits pleins sur la figure 2. En revanche, lorsque ledit bouchon 9 est séparé du goulot 5, la languette 17 se redresse spontanément, sous l'action de son élasticité, pour prendre la position redressée 17.1 représentée en pointillés sur la figure 2. Dans cette position spontanément redressée 17.1, la languette 17 fait saillie à l'extérieur du goulot 5.Thus, when the plug 9 is in place on the neck 5 to close off the orifice 11, the tongue 17 is folded back inside said neck and is resiliently supported on said plug, as shown in solid lines in FIG. 2. On the other hand, when said plug 9 is separated from the neck 5, the tongue 17 straightens spontaneously, under the action of its elasticity, to take the upright position 17.1 shown in dotted lines in Figure 2. In this spontaneously straightened position 17.1, the tongue 17 protrudes outside the neck 5.

On comprendra aisément qu'il est alors possible de saisir la languette 17 et d'effectuer sur elle une traction vers l'extérieur pour tirer vers l'extérieur la semelle 12 afin, d'une part, de casser les points de liaison 14, 15 et 16 et, d'autre part, d'arracher la pastille 3.It will be readily understood that it is then possible to grasp the tongue 17 and pull it outwards to pull it outwardly the sole 12 in order, on the one hand, to break the connection points 14, 15 and 16 and, on the other hand, to tear off the tablet 3.

La pièce unique formée par le goulot 5, l'embase 7, la semelle rigide 12 et la languette 17 peut être réalisée par moulage, injection ou toute autre technique connue des matières synthétiques.The single piece formed by the neck 5, the base 7, the rigid sole 12 and the tongue 17 can be produced by molding, injection or any other known technique of synthetic materials.

Comme on peut le voir sur les figures, la largeur ℓ de la semelle 12 est inférieure au diamètre de l'orifice 11 et le goulot 5 comporte des parties rétrécies 18, 19, par exemple en forme de soufflets, dirigées vers ladite semelle, à laquelle elles sont liées par les points de liaison cassables 15 et 16.As can be seen in the figures, the width ℓ of the sole 12 is less than the diameter of the orifice 11 and the neck 5 has narrowed parts 18, 19, for example in the form of bellows, directed towards said sole, to which they are linked by breakable connection points 15 and 16.
