Description

La présente invention a pour objet un emballage métallique comportant un récipient obturé par un couvercle et une capsule de sécurité coiffant le couvercle.The subject of the present invention is a metal packaging comprising a container closed by a lid and a safety capsule covering the cover.

Le brevet français 93 00 099 (2 700 155) décrit un emballage métallique de ce type, dans lequel la capsule de sécurité est dimensionnée pour pouvoir coiffer le couvercle et se verrouiller sur une couronne support d'anse.French patent 93 00 099 (2,700,155) describes packaging metal of this type, in which the safety capsule is sized to be able to cover the cover and lock on a support crown dance.

Ce système assure une sécurité permettant en principe d'empêcher toute ouverture accidentelle de l'emballage métallique en cas de choc et donc le vidage de son contenu (colle, peinture, liquide inflammable etc.).This system provides security allowing in principle prevent any accidental opening of the metal packaging in the event of shock and therefore emptying of its contents (glue, paint, flammable liquid etc.).

Le document FR-A-2 104 677 décrit un emballage comprenant un récipient, un couvercle et une capsule de sécurité. Le récipient est constitué d'un corps et d'une collerette en métal qui est roulée sur elle-même afin de serrer le bord supérieur du corps. Le couvercle comporte une collerette repliée sur elle-même, ayant une surface convexe dirigée vers la collerette du récipient. A l'état fermé du récipient, les deux collerettes présentent un contact entre deux surfaces convexes, suivant une ligne circulaire.Document FR-A-2 104 677 describes a package comprising a container, a cover and safety capsule. The container consists of a body and a metal flange which is rolled on itself in order to tighten the upper edge of the body. The cover has a flange folded back on itself, having a convex surface directed towards the container flange. When the container is closed, the two flanges have contact between two convex surfaces, according to a circular line.

Le document US 4,728,003, qui constitue le préambule de la revendication 1, décrit un emballage métallique comprenant un récipient, obturé par un couvercle et une capsule de sécurité. L'ouverture du récipient est formée par une collerette terminale qui est courbée vers l'extérieur et qui a un profil concave dont la concavité est orientée vers le font du récipient. Le couvercle est muni d'une collerette périphérique. La capsule de sécurité comprend de moyens de verrouillage, sous forme de pattes de fixation. Le récipient est constitué de deux parties liées par un bourrelet serti. Les pattes de fixation sont encliquetées par-dessus le bourrelet et s'appliquent contre la paroi du récipient.Document US 4,728,003, which constitutes the preamble of claim 1, describes a metal package comprising a container, closed by a lid and a safety capsule. The opening of the container is formed by a terminal flange which is curved towards the outside and which has a concave profile whose concavity is oriented towards the bottom of the container. The lid has a collar peripheral. The security capsule includes locking means, under shape of fixing lugs. The container consists of two parts linked by a crimped bead. The fixing lugs are snapped over the bead and apply against the wall of the container.

L'invention a pour but de réaliser un emballage métallique muni d'un dispositif de fermeture dont la sécurité soit encore accrue par rapport à ce dispositif antérieur. Ce but est atteint par l'emballage tel que défini dans la revendication 1.The object of the invention is to produce a metallic packaging provided a closing device whose safety is further increased compared to this previous device. This goal is achieved by packaging such as defined in claim 1.

Conformément à l'invention, l'emballage est muni de moyens de verrouillage de la capsule de sécurité directement sur le bord supérieur de la paroi du récipient.In accordance with the invention, the packaging is provided with means for locking the safety cap directly on the upper edge of the container wall.

Ainsi cette capsule n'est plus encliquetée sur une pièce rapportée à la paroi du récipient, mais encliquetée directement sur la paroi elle-même, ce qui accroít la solidité et la sécurité de la fermeture.This capsule is no longer snapped onto a part attached to the container wall, but snapped directly onto the wall itself, which increases the strength and security of the closure.

La capsule de sécurité est pourvue de pattes périphériques flexibles, adaptées pour pouvoir se clipser sur une collerette terminale formée sur l'ouverture du récipient et courbée vers l'extérieur.The capsule of safety is provided with flexible peripheral lugs, adapted to be able clip onto a terminal flange formed on the opening of the container and curved outwards.

Le récipient étant métallique, la solidité de l'encliquetage élastique de la capsule de sécurité sur sa collerette est donc d'autant accrue.The container being metallic, the solidity of the ratchet elasticity of the safety capsule on its collar is therefore all the more increased.

D'autres particularités et avantages de l'invention apparaítront au cours de la description qui va suivre, faite en référence au dessin annexé qui en illustre une forme de réalisation à titre d'exemple non limitatif.Other features and advantages of the invention will become apparent during the description which follows, with reference to the attached drawing which illustrates an embodiment thereof by way of nonlimiting example.

La figure unique est une vue en élévation partielle sensiblement à l'échelle d'une forme de réalisation de l'emballage métallique selon l'invention.The single figure is a partial elevation view substantially on the scale of an embodiment of the metal packaging according to the invention.

L'emballage métallique représentée aux dessins comporte un récipient 1 à paroi métallique cylindrique, susceptible de recevoir divers liquides, et un couvercle métallique 2.The metal packaging shown in the drawings includes a container 1 with cylindrical metal wall, capable of receiving various liquids, and a metal cover 2.

Ce dernier comprend une collerette périphérique 3 de profil concave et dont la concavité est tournée en direction du fond du récipient. Cette collerette 3 vient en appui sur une collerette terminale 4 formée sur le pourtour de l'ouverture du récipient 1 et courbée vers l'extérieur avec sa concavité orientée vers le fond du récipient 1.The latter includes a peripheral flange 3 of profile concave and whose concavity is turned towards the bottom of the container. This flange 3 comes to bear on a terminal flange 4 formed on the around the opening of the container 1 and curved outwards with its concavity oriented towards the bottom of the container 1.

L'emballage comporte également une capsule de sécurité 5 en matière plastique dimensionnée pour pouvoir coiffer le couvercle 2 et qui est équipée d'une série de pattes périphériques 6 flexibles. Ces pattes 6 sont munies chacune d'un bec intérieur 7 adapté pour venir s'accrocher par encliquetage élastique (clipsage) des pattes 6 sur la collerette terminale 4 du récipient 1.The packaging also includes a safety capsule 5 in plastic material sized to cover the cover 2 and which is equipped with a series of flexible peripheral legs 6. These legs 6 are each provided with an inner spout 7 adapted to hang on by elastic snap (clipping) of the tabs 6 onto the end flange 4 of the container 1.

Ainsi la capsule de sécurité 5 est directement encliquetée sur le bord supérieur 4 de la paroi 1 du récipient.Thus the safety capsule 5 is snapped directly onto the upper edge 4 of the wall 1 of the container.

La paroi du récipient 1 est constituée par une pièce annulaire 19 dont le bord extérieur est roulé et accroché sur l'extrémité supérieure de la paroi 1, et dont le bord intérieur, de diamètre inférieur à celui de la paroi 1, est constitué par la collerette terminale 4.The wall of the container 1 is constituted by an annular piece 19 whose outer edge is rolled and hung on the upper end of the wall 1, and whose inner edge, of diameter smaller than that of wall 1, is consisting of the terminal flange 4.
