Description

CONTENEUR INVIOLABLE COMPORTANT UN CORPS CREUX AVEC SON DISPOSITIF DE FERMETUREINVIOLABLE CONTAINER HAVING A HOLLOW BODY WITH ITS CLOSING DEVICE
La présente invention concerne des conteneurs inviolables.The present invention relates to tamper-evident containers.
On entend par conteneur tout corps creux avec sa fermeture, tel qu'entre autres : bouteilles, flacons, récipients et/ou autres réservoirs. Ils sont normalement destinés à la mise sur le marché de produits de qualité, souvent sous des marques réputées, tels que alcools et/ou spiritueux, champagnes et/ou vins fins, parfums et/ou cosmétiques, produits chimiques, agroalimentaires ou pharmaceutiques, parfois d'utilisation dangereuse.The term “container” means any hollow body with its closure, such as, inter alia: bottles, flasks, containers and / or other reservoirs. They are normally intended for the marketing of quality products, often under reputable brands, such as alcohols and / or spirits, champagnes and / or fine wines, perfumes and / or cosmetics, chemicals, food or pharmaceuticals, sometimes dangerous use.
II est connu que de tels conteneurs sont parfois malheureusement réutilisés par des tiers, pour la mise sur le marché de produits, non seulement différents de ceux d'origine, mais encore de qualité souvent inférieure, voire dangereux pour les consommateurs victimes de telles malversations.It is known that such containers are sometimes unfortunately reused by third parties, for the placing on the market of products, not only different from those of origin, but also of often inferior quality, or even dangerous for consumers victims of such embezzlement.
A cet égard, divers dispositifs ont été conçus dans le but de pouvoir détecter l'ouverture de tels conteneurs et les rendre inviolables ; des scellés sont par exemple disposés entre le col d'une bouteille et son bouchon, de façon telle que le scellé se trouvera rompu, lors de l'ouverture de celle-ci.In this regard, various devices have been designed with the aim of being able to detect the opening of such containers and make them inviolable; seals are for example arranged between the neck of a bottle and its stopper, so that the seal will be broken when the latter is opened.
Ainsi entre autres, le Brevet Européen N° 94.402 006.4, publié le 15 mars 1995 sous le N° 0 642 984 A1 , présente, un "Dispositif témoin d'ouverture pour des bouteilles obturées par un bouchon, comprenant des moyens reliés par une zone frangible à une bague reliée de façon inviolable au goulot, de manière que lesdits moyens se rompent à l'endroit de la zone frangible lorsqu'ils sont amenés d'une position de protection dans laquelle ils s'opposent à l'enlèvement du bouchon, à une position de libération du bouchon."Thus among others, the European Patent N ° 94.402 006.4, published on March 15, 1995 under N ° 0 642 984 A1, presents, an "Opening indicator device for bottles closed by a stopper, comprising means connected by a zone frangible to a ring connected in an inviolable manner to the neck, so that said means break at the location of the frangible zone when they are brought from a protective position in which they oppose the removal of the cap, to a stopper release position. "
Si ce type de dispositifs permet de détecter une ouverture, provoquant la rupture d'un tel scellé, à l'évidence il ne rend pratiquement pas impossible une réutilisation desdites bouteilles, sans détection d'une telle violation.If this type of device makes it possible to detect an opening, causing such a seal to break, obviously it makes it practically impossible to reuse said bottles, without detecting such a violation.
Par ailleurs, le Brevet Français N° 89 17563, publié le 28 juin 1991 sous le numéro 2 656 281 , décrit un "dispositif de bouchage inviolable d'un récipient fragile, comprenant un bouchage ou surbouchage en matériau ductile, fixé sur ledit récipient et comportant un moyen d'ouverture, par exemple une ligne de faibiesse ou de déchirement surmontant une retenue par sertissage ; ce dispositif comprend aussi une plaquette, jouant le rôle d'un scellage antifraude, fixée à la fois sur ledit bouchage ou surbouchage et sur le récipient." Cette plaquette qui a une faible résilience, normalement inférieure à celle du récipient lui-même, se casse lors de toute tentative d'ouverture, par rupture de la fixation de cette plaquette de scellage; dans le cas contraire, cette tentative d'ouverture entraînerait la fracture du récipient lui-même, de façon erratique, indéfinie et non contrôlée, voire dangereuse.Furthermore, French Patent N ° 89 17563, published on June 28, 1991 under number 2 656 281, describes a "tamper-evident closure device for a fragile container, comprising a stopper or overcap in ductile material, fixed on said container and comprising an opening means, for example a line of weakness or tearing overcoming a retention by crimping; this device also comprises a plate, playing the role of an anti-fraud seal, fixed both on said closure or overcap and on the container. "This plate which has a low resilience, normally less than that of the container itself, breaks during any attempt to open, by breaking the attachment of this sealing plate; otherwise, this attempt to open would cause the container itself to fracture, erratically, indefinitely and not controlled, even dangerous .
Par contre, le conteneur, objet de la présente invention, est réellement inviolable, du fait même que son ouverture entraîne obligatoirement l'élimination de la partie supérieure du col dudit conteneur, de façon prédéfinie, contrôlée, sûre et définitive, rendant impossible toute réutilisation de celui-ci, grâce à la détection évidente de cette élimination.On the other hand, the container, object of the present invention, is truly inviolable, by the very fact that its opening necessarily involves the elimination of the upper part of the neck of said container, in a predefined, controlled, safe and final manner, making any reuse impossible. of it, thanks to the obvious detection of this elimination.
Le conteneur inviolable, objet de la présente invention, qui comprend un corps creux avec sa fermeture, se caractérise en ce que ce corps creux comporte un moyen faisant partie intégrante du col du corps creux, réalisé à une certaine distance du haut du goulot.The inviolable container, object of the present invention, which comprises a hollow body with its closure, is characterized in that this hollow body comprises a means forming an integral part of the neck of the hollow body, produced at a certain distance from the top of the neck.
Ce moyen qui représente une ligne de faiblesse du col du corps creux et sera rompu lors de l'ouverture du conteneur, est réalisé, selon l'invention, en dépouille et disposé à une certaine distance du haut du goulot du corps creux. Selon une forme préférentielle, ladite dépouille est réalisée sour forme d'un evidement, d'une rainure ou d'une rayure, sensiblement circulaire, partiellement ou totalement.This means which represents a line of weakness of the neck of the hollow body and will be broken when the container is opened, is produced, according to the invention, in clearance and disposed at a certain distance from the top of the neck of the hollow body. According to a preferred form, said draft is produced in the form of a recess, a groove or a stripe, substantially circular, partially or totally.
Si, selon une forme préférentielle de l'invention, cette dépouille est réalisée lors de la fabrication de ce corps creux, ladite rainure ou rayure peut aussi être réalisée ultérieurement, éventuellement même lors de la fermeture du conteneur, par exemple au moyen d'un outil tel que diamant.If, according to a preferred form of the invention, this draft is produced during the manufacture of this hollow body, said groove or scratch can also be produced subsequently, possibly even when the container is closed, for example by means of a tool such as diamond.
Le corps creux constitutif desdits conteneurs, peut être obtenu à partir de matériaux divers ( entre autres : verre, quartz, cristal, de préférence ; céramiques, porcelaines, etc ) selon toute technique connue de l'homme du métier, en fonction du matériau mis en oeuvre et de l'application concernée, telle que, par exemple : moulage, rotomoulage, formage, thermoformage, coulée, coulée centrifuge, filage, extrusion, soufflage, usinage ou autres.The hollow body constituting said containers can be obtained from various materials (among others: glass, quartz, crystal, preferably; ceramics, porcelain, etc.) according to any technique known to those skilled in the art, depending on the material used. in the work and the application concerned, such as, for example: molding, rotational molding, forming, thermoforming, casting, centrifugal casting, spinning, extrusion, blowing, machining or others.
La fermeture du conteneur, objet de l'invention, qui comprend une capsule, de préférence inviolable, se caractérise en ce que la résilience de cette capsule, en son point le plus faible de fracture éventuelle, est supérieure à celle de la ligne de faiblesse, moyen détruit lors de l'ouverture du conteneur lui-même.The closure of the container, object of the invention, which comprises a capsule, preferably inviolable, is characterized in that the resilience of this capsule, at its weakest point of possible fracture, is greater than that of the line of weakness , means destroyed when opening the container itself.
Ladite capsule, éventuellement connue en elle-même, est en un matériau présentant des caractéristiques mécaniques, indispensables pour répondre à la résilience définie ci-dessus, et permettre sa mise en forme définitive lors de sa pose sur le col du conteneur, selon toute technique connue en elle-même de l'homme du métier.Said capsule, possibly known in itself, is made of a material having mechanical characteristics, essential to meet the resilience defined above, and to allow its final shaping when it is placed on the neck of the container, according to any technique known in itself to those skilled in the art.
Lorsque cette capsule est placée sur le col du conteneur, le bas de sa jupe doit être fixée de façon suffisamment solidaire à ce col, voire scellé, afin de la rendre inviolable, ainsi que défini plus haut ; cette fixation sera réalisée sur la face extérieur du col du récipient et de préférence au voisinage dudit moyen de rupture de ce col , ainsi qu'illustré par exemple sur les figures et dans les exemples ci-après, selon toute technique connue de l'homme du métier ; entre autres, par vissage, par sertissage et/ou au moyen de colles à hautes caractéristiques adhésives.When this capsule is placed on the neck of the container, the bottom of its skirt must be fixed sufficiently firmly to this neck, or even sealed, in order to make it inviolable, as defined above; this fixing will be carried out on the external face of the neck of the container and preferably in the vicinity of said means of breaking this neck, as illustrated for example in the figures and in the examples below, according to any technique known to man of career ; inter alia, by screwing, crimping and / or by means of adhesives with high adhesive characteristics.
Le cas échéant, le haut du col du conteneur est revêtu, selon toute technique connue en elle-même, d'une capsule dite de surbouchage.Where appropriate, the top of the container neck is coated, according to any technique known in itself, with a so-called overcap capsule.
Le matériau, constitutif de ladite capsule et/ou de la capsule dite de surbouchage, est généralement métallique, entre autres, alliages légers, par exemple d'aluminium, fer blanc voire acier, peut aussi être en une matière synthétique thermodurcissable, connue en elle-même, éventuellement transparente.The material constituting said capsule and / or the so-called overcap capsule is generally metallic, inter alia, light alloys, for example aluminum, tin or even steel, can also be made of a thermosetting synthetic material, known in it - even, possibly transparent.
Selon une forme particulière de l'invention, un opercule - entre autres une capsule en matière plastique, tel que représenté à titre d'exemple illustratif et non limitatif, représenté en Réf.8 ci-après - est disposé dans le col, au- dessous dudit moyen, de sorte que tout éventuel éclat de la partie supérieure de celui-ci, qui est éliminée lors de la rupture de ce moyen, se trouverait dans ce cas empêché de pénétrer dans le conteneur et serait en conséquence éliminé avant toute utilisation de celui-ci.According to a particular form of the invention, a cover - inter alia a plastic capsule, as shown by way of illustrative and nonlimiting example, shown in Ref. 8 below - is arranged in the neck, au- below said means, so that any possible chip from the upper part thereof, which is eliminated during the breaking of this means, would be in this case prevented from entering the container and would therefore be eliminated before any use thereof.
Le cas échéant, ladite fermeture comprend aussi un bouchon. La jupe d'un tel bouchon qui est généralement en liège ou peut aussi être en matière plastique, est fréquemment surmontée d'une tête en un matériau relativement dur, connu, tel qu'une résine synthétique thermodurcissable ; cette tête est souvent décorée, tout particulièrement pour des produits de marques réputées.Where appropriate, said closure also includes a plug. The skirt of such a stopper, which is generally made of cork or can also be made of plastic, is frequently surmounted by a head made of a relatively hard, known material, such as a thermosetting synthetic resin; this head is often decorated, especially for products from reputable brands.
La rupture de la ligne de faiblesse, constitutive du moyen d'ouverture du conteneur selon l'invention, et l'élimination subséquente de la partie supérieure de son col, est obtenue selon divers processus mécaniques et/ou physiques, connus en eux-mêmes ; entre autres, les processus explicités ci- après, à titre explicatif et non limitatif, qui peuvent être mis en oeuvre séparément ou en combinaison, selon le cas, ainsi que par tout autre processus, équivalent en pratique.The rupture of the line of weakness, constituting the means of opening the container according to the invention, and the subsequent elimination of the upper part of its neck, is obtained according to various mechanical and / or physical processes, known in themselves ; among others, the processes explained below, by way of non-limiting explanation, which can be implemented separately or in combination, as the case may be, as well as by any other process, equivalent in practice.
1 . Cette rupture peut aussi être obtenue par un effort de traction, de torsion et/ou de rotation, exercé de l'extérieur sur la partie supérieure du col ; cet effort étant réalisé directement manuellement ou, le cas échéant, au moyen d'un ouvre-bouteille adapté à cet effet, tel que décapsuleur, pince ou autre.1. This rupture can also be obtained by a traction, torsion and / or rotation force, exerted from the outside on the upper part of the neck; this effort being made directly manually or, if necessary, by means of a bottle opener suitable for this purpose, such as bottle opener, pliers or the like.
2 . Cette rupture dudit moyen peut être obtenue par pression exercée sur la face interne du col et vers l'extérieur, dans sa partie supérieure, plus particulièrement au voisinage de la ligne de faiblesse, ainsi qu'illustré aux FIG 1 , 2 et/ou 3, en annexe.2. This rupture of said means can be obtained by pressure exerted on the internal face of the neck and towards the outside, in its upper part, more particularly in the vicinity of the line of weakness, as illustrated in FIGs 1, 2 and / or 3 , attached.
Cette pression interne peut être ainsi réalisée par l'intermédiaire d'un élément (cf : réf.5) tout particulièrement disposé entre la partie supérieure du col ( cf : réf.2) et le bouchon ( cf : réf.3) ; ledit élément étant constitué, entre autres :This internal pressure can thus be produced by means of an element (see ref. 5) particularly arranged between the upper part of the neck (see ref. 2) and the stopper (see ref. 3); said element being constituted, inter alia:
- soit d'une résine synthétique élastique, présentant une hystérésis pratiquement nulle, une silicone par exemple,- either of an elastic synthetic resin, having practically zero hysteresis, a silicone for example,
- soit un dispositif mécanique d'écartement, . de sorte que toute pression exercée sur un tel élément, un choc par exemple sur la partie supérieure de la capsule de surbouchage (cf : réf.6), se répercutera quasi intégralement sur la face interne de cette partie supérieure du col (cf : réf.2), produisant alors la rupture de ladite ligne de faiblesse (cf : réf.4) et la séparation de cette partie supérieure du col.- either a mechanical spacer,. so that any pressure exerted on such an element, a shock for example on the upper part of the overcap capsule (cf: ref. 6), will be reflected almost entirely on the internal face of this upper part of the cervix (see ref. 2), producing the rupture of said line of weakness (see ref. 4) and the separation of this upper part of the cervix.
3 . Cette rupture peut également être obtenue par dégradation de la ligne de faiblesse, provoquée par exemple par un frottement déstructurant de celle-ci, voire par abrasion, au cours d'un effort de rotation appliquée sur la capsule de surbouchage, entre autres.3. This rupture can also be obtained by degradation of the line of weakness, caused for example by destructuring friction thereof, or even by abrasion, during a rotational force applied to the overcap capsule, among others.
4 . Cette rupture peut être encore obtenue par choc thermique, exercé au voisinage de la ligne de faiblesse, par un élément conducteur de la chaleur, de préférence métallique, tel qu'entre autres aluminium, cuivre, fer blanc ou acier, dont le coefficient de dilatation est suffisamment différent de celui du matériau constitutif du col, lui-même, de sorte qu'un échauffement rapide de cet élément produit la rupture de la ligne de faiblesse, cet échauffement pouvant être provoqué par tout moyen connu, dont induction par exemple, le cas échéant.4. This rupture can also be obtained by thermal shock, exerted in the vicinity of the line of weakness, by a heat conducting element, preferably metallic, such as among other aluminum, copper, tinplate or steel, the coefficient of expansion of which is sufficiently different from that of the material constituting the neck, itself, so that a rapid heating of this element produces the rupture of the line of weakness, this heating can be caused by any known means, including induction for example optionally.
Comme on le voit tout d'abord sur les 6 figures ( FIG. 1 , 2, 3, 4, 5 et/ou 6 ), en annexes, qui illustrent de façon non limitative les exemples ci-après, et représente certaines formes de mise en oeuvre de l'invention, les références portées sur ces figures correspondent aux éléments suivants:As can be seen first of all in the 6 figures (FIG. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and / or 6), in the appendices, which illustrate in a nonlimiting manner the examples below, and represents certain forms of implementation of the invention, the references given in these figures correspond to the following elements:

- Réf 10, ( FIG. 6 ) élément conducteur de la chaleur ;- Ref 10, (FIG. 6) heat conducting element;
- Réf 11 , ( FIG. 6 ) fil conducteur, reliant l'élément (Réf 10 ) à une plaquette (Réf. 12 ).- Ref 11, (FIG. 6) conducting wire, connecting the element (Ref 10) to a plate (Ref. 12).
Ainsi, selon l'exemple de la FIG. 1 , sont disposés lors de la fermeture de la bouteille, une coupelle, de préférence préfabriquée, à base de résine de silicone (5), recouvrant la tête du bouchon ( 3 ) et s'étendant entre cette tête et tout au long de la face interne de la partie supérieure (2) du col de cette bouteille, sensiblement jusqu'à la ligne de faiblesse (4), puis une capsule de surbouchage (6) en alliage d'aluminium à hautes caractéristiques mécaniques, recouvrant la totalité de la partie supérieure de cette coupelle préfabriquée, ainsi que de la face externe de la partie (2) du col de la bouteille et dont la base de la jupe est solidement fixée, par exemple par collage, à la surface inférieure de cette partie (2), au voisinage même de la ligne (4) la rendant ainsi inviolable.Thus, according to the example of FIG. 1, are arranged when the bottle is closed, a cup, preferably prefabricated, based on silicone resin (5), covering the head of the stopper (3) and extending between this head and all along the internal face of the upper part (2) of the neck of this bottle, substantially up to the line of weakness (4), then an overcap capsule (6) made of aluminum alloy with high mechanical characteristics, covering the whole of the upper part of this prefabricated cup, as well as of the external face of the part (2) of the neck of the bottle and the base of the skirt of which is firmly fixed, for example by gluing, to the lower surface of this part (2) , in the very vicinity of the line (4) thus making it inviolable.
Lorsqu'on imprime une pression rapide et suffisante, par exemple un coup sec porté sur le haut de la tête de la capsule (6), cette pression, en se répercutant alors pratiquement intégralement sur la face interne du col (2), par l'intermédiaire de la coupelle en silicone (5), provoque une rupture nette de la ligne de faiblesse (4), - quasiment sans éclat de verre, compte tenu des spécifications y relatives de celui-ci - , permettant ainsi l'ouverture de cette bouteille, par élimination de la partie supérieure de son col. Selon l'exemple de la FIG 2, toutes choses restant égales par ailleurs à celles de la FIG. 1 , les seules différences concernent, d'une part, la disposition de la ligne de faiblesse (4) à la base de la partie (2) du col de la bouteille, et d'autre part, le matériau constitutif de la capsule (6), qui est en une résine thermodurcissable à hautes caractéristiques mécaniques, transparente, permettant de s'assurer qu'il n'y a pas déjà eu élimination de cette partie (2) après rupture de la ligne (4).When a rapid and sufficient pressure is printed, for example a sharp blow on the top of the head of the capsule (6), this pressure, having then been reflected practically entirely on the internal face of the neck (2), by the 'intermediary of the silicone cup (5), causes a clear rupture of the line of weakness (4), - almost without glass shards, taking into account the relative specifications thereof -, thus allowing the opening of this bottle, by elimination of the upper part of its neck. According to the example of FIG 2, all things remaining equal to those of FIG. 1, the only differences concern, on the one hand, the arrangement of the line of weakness (4) at the base of the part (2) of the neck of the bottle, and on the other hand, the material constituting the capsule ( 6), which is made of a thermosetting resin with high mechanical characteristics, transparent, making it possible to ensure that this part (2) has not already been eliminated after breaking the line (4).
Selon l'exemple de la FIG. 3, toutes choses étant égales, de même et par ailleurs, à celles des FIG 1. et/ou 2, la seule différence concerne la coupelle (5) qui est non pas constitué en matière synthétique, tel que résine de silicone, mais par un dispositif mécanique d'écartement, équivalent et conduisant au même résultat, lorsqu'on imprime sur le haut de la capsule (6) une pression suffisante, conduisant alors à la rupture de la ligne de faiblesse (4) et à l'élimination de la partie supérieure du col (2).According to the example of FIG. 3, all things being equal, similarly and moreover, to those of FIGs 1. and / or 2, the only difference relates to the cup (5) which is not made of synthetic material, such as silicone resin, but by a mechanical spacing device, equivalent and leading to the same result, when printing on the top of the capsule (6) sufficient pressure, then leading to the rupture of the line of weakness (4) and the elimination of the upper part of the neck (2).
Selon l'exemple de la FIG. 4, sont disposés lors de la fermeture de la bouteille, un disque en matière rigide, de préférence métallique - par exemple, fer blanc, acier, aluminium, cuivre, etc. - , placé sous le pied de la jupe du bouchon (3) , et sous ce disque, une capsule en matière plastique, telle qu'entre autres polyoléfine, PVC, ou autres, d'une faible épaisseur, de l'ordre de quelques milimètres à un ou deux centimètres environ, présentant à sa partie supérieure une collerette prenant appui, ainsi que ledit disque, sur un léger méplat, prévu à cet effet en haut de la partie inférieure du col de la bouteille, de façon à ce que la partie supérieure de ce disque se trouve sensiblement dans le plan de la ligne de faiblesse (4), puis une capsule de surbouchage (6) de préférence métallique - par exemple, fer blanc, acier, aluminium, cuivre, etc. -, descendant le long de la tête du bouchon (3) et de la face externe de la partie (2) du col, dont la base de la jupe est solidement fixée, par collage entre autres, à la partie inférieure de cette partie (2), quasiment au contact même de la ligne de faiblesse (4).According to the example of FIG. 4, are arranged when the bottle is closed, a disc made of rigid material, preferably metallic - for example, tinplate, steel, aluminum, copper, etc. - placed under the foot of the skirt of the plug (3), and under this disc, a plastic capsule, such as, among other polyolefins, PVC, or others, of a small thickness, of the order of a few millimeters to about one or two centimeters, having at its upper part a flange bearing, as well as said disc, on a slight flat, provided for this purpose at the top of the lower part of the neck of the bottle, so that the upper part of this disc is located substantially in the plane of the line of weakness (4), then an overcap capsule (6) preferably metallic - for example, tinplate, steel, aluminum, copper, etc. -, descending along the head of the stopper (3) and the external face of the part (2) of the neck, the base of the skirt of which is firmly fixed, by gluing, inter alia, to the lower part of this part ( 2), almost in contact with the line of weakness (4).
L'ouverture de cette bouteille peut être réalisée, soit selon le processus opératoire décrit ci-après dans l'exemple de la FIG. 5, soit par création d'un choc thermique au voisinage de la ligne de faiblesse (4), produit par chauffage rapide selon tout moyen connu, du métal constitutif du disque (7) et/ou de la capsule (6), prévu à cet effet, qui provoque une rupture nette de la ligne de faiblesse (4), - quasiment sans éclat de verre, compte tenu des spécifications y relatives de celui-ci - , permettant ainsi l'ouverture de cette bouteille, par élimination de la partie supérieure de son col. Ainsi un chauffage par induction, pourrait être plus particulièrement effectué dans le cas de bouteilles d'alcools de qualité, destinés à être consommés dans des bars, discothèques ou autres.The opening of this bottle can be carried out, either according to the operating process described below in the example of FIG. 5, or by creating a thermal shock in the vicinity of the line of weakness (4), produced by rapid heating by any known means, of the metal constituting the disc (7) and / or the capsule (6), provided for this effect, which causes a clear break in the line of weakness (4), - almost without a glass shard, taking account of the relative specifications thereof -, thus allowing the opening of this bottle, by eliminating the upper part of its neck. Thus an induction heating, could be more particularly carried out in the case of bottles of quality alcohols, intended to be consumed in bars, discotheques or others.
Selon l'exemple de la FIG. 5, toutes choses étant égales par ailleurs à celles de la FIG. 4, la seule différence concerne l'élément ( 7 ) qui est, non pas constitué par un disque rigide, mais par une coupelle rigide entourant l'ensemble de la jupe du bouchon (3 ).According to the example of FIG. 5, all other things being equal to that of FIG. 4, the only difference relates to the element (7) which is, not constituted by a rigid disc, but by a rigid cup surrounding the whole of the skirt of the plug (3).
Lorsqu'on imprime de l'extérieur, manuellement, sur la partie supérieure de la bouteille - constituée par l'ensemble des éléments, référencés en (2, 3, 6 et 7) -, un effort de traction, de torsion et/ou de rotation, une rupture nette de la ligne de faiblesse (4) se produit alors, - quasiment sans éclat de verre, compte tenu des caractéristiques spécifiques de celui-ci -, conduisant à l'ouverture de cette bouteille, avec élimination de sa partie supérieure. Le cas échéant, la présence d'éléments abrasifs, à l'extrémité de la jupe de la capsule (6), au contact de la ligne de rupture (4), facilitera encore cette ouverture par rotation, provoquant un effet déstructurant.When printing from the outside, manually, on the upper part of the bottle - consisting of all the elements, referenced in (2, 3, 6 and 7) - a tensile, twisting and / or of rotation, a clear rupture of the line of weakness (4) then occurs, - almost without a glass shard, taking into account its specific characteristics -, leading to the opening of this bottle, with elimination of its part superior. If necessary, the presence of abrasive elements, at the end of the skirt of the capsule (6), in contact with the rupture line (4), will further facilitate this opening by rotation, causing a destructuring effect.
Selon l'exemple de la FIG. 6, toutes choses étant égales par ailleurs à celles de la FIG. 4, dont elle représente un cas particulier de mise en oeuvre, un élément (10), conducteur de la chaleur - entre autres, fil d'aluminium, de cuivre, en fer blanc ou d'acier, etc - est, soit placé en étroit contact avec la ligne de faiblesse (4), soit même directement introduit dans le matériau constitutif du col de la bouteille, à l'endroit de cette ligne de faiblesse, une extrémité de ce fil étant reliée à l'extérieur, au moyen d'un brin dudit fil, jusqu'à une plaquette métallique (12).According to the example of FIG. 6, all other things being equal to that of FIG. 4, of which it represents a particular case of implementation, an element (10) which conducts heat - inter alia, aluminum, copper, tin or steel wire, etc. - is either placed in close contact with the line of weakness (4), or even directly introduced into the material constituting the neck of the bottle, at the location of this line of weakness, one end of this wire being connected to the outside, by means of 'a strand of said wire, to a metal plate (12).
Le chauffage rapide du fil (10), qui pourrait être réalisé par induction, selon le métal constitutif de l'élément(I O), ainsi que prévu à l'exemple de la FIG. 4, selon le cas, est dans le présent exemple, produit par chauffage direct à travers la plaquette (12) et le brin (11 ), provoquant l'ouverure de cette bouteille par création d'un choc thermique au voisinage de la ligne de faiblesse (4), qui sera rompue - quasiment sans éclat de verre, compte tenu des caractéristiques spécifiques de celui-ci -, conduisant à l'ouverture de cette bouteille, avec élimination de sa partie supérieure. Rapid heating of the wire (10), which could be achieved by induction, according to the metal constituting the element (IO), as provided in the example of FIG. 4, as the case may be, is in the present example produced by direct heating through the plate (12) and the strand (11), causing the opening of this bottle by creating a thermal shock in the vicinity of the line of weakness (4), which will be broken - almost without a glass shard, given specific characteristics of it -, leading to the opening of this bottle, with elimination of its upper part.
