Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of overcapping caps for wine bottles. sparkling wines, typically champagne, and more particularly the case of headdresses provided with easy opening means.
  • these caps are typically applied to champagne bottles and they contribute greatly to the dressing and to the improvement of their aesthetics.
  • the opening of the cap by the consumer either by pulling on the "Tircell" strip, or by cutting the cap following the lines of dashes or dotted lines, most often leads either to folds or untimely tears, because these caps being relatively sheet or film-based relatively thin, the tear of the cap does not necessarily follow the lines of weakness provided and marked in advance, which can lead to a little appearance aesthetic and totally random.
  • these sparkling wines are bottled closed by corks often with corks ensuring the cork is held and the bottle closed even in the event of accidental overpressure. It is therefore important that the opening of the cap releases the muselet to easily allow its removal.
  • there is a need for an easy-opening cap that solves all of these problems.
  • the invention relates to a cap which allows regular manual removal of the part upper cap, upper part being that which covers said muselet, without alteration none of the lower part of the cap which covers the part of the neck of the bottle located below the wire, so as to keep the maximum cap on the bottle with its aesthetic appearance, unaltered, while allowing the removal of the muselet.
  • Figures 1 to 5 are partial side views of caps (1) according to the state of the art obtained by rolling a developed skirt and gluing the axial edges (60,61) and having different easy opening means placed on the skirt (4).
  • the easy opening means are "tircels" (41) oriented with the end oriented in a greater or less inclined manner.
  • the means is a double weakening line (42), and a single line (40) in FIG. 5. These means allow in principle to remove the "upper" part (10) of the skirt (1) and leave the "lower” part (11) on the bottle.
  • Figure 6 is a side view of a conical cap (1) according to the invention formed of a skirt (4) and a head (5), with two lines of weakness, a high line (43) and a low line (44) separated by a distance L equal to 30 mm, the low line (44) delimiting the upper or separable part (10) of the cap and the lower or fixed part (11) of the cap.
  • This cap is formed by rolling a developed skirt (6) and heat sealing or bonding of an axial edge (60) on the other (61) (not visible in Figure 6). We represented with dotted lines the adhesive thread (63) ensuring the sealing from one edge to the other.
  • the weakening lines (43, 44) are formed on said developed, and the notches (460, 461) which delimit said tongue (46), the bottom of each notch (460,461) being located on the corresponding weakening line (43, 44).
  • said tongue (46) is guilloche, that is to say provided with a lattice of small reliefs obtained by stamping when cutting said press and said notches, so as to differentiate the tongue visually and aesthetically, and to enhance the visual contrast between the tab and the rest of the capsule so that the consumer, from the outset, is encouraged to use said tab (46) for opening.
  • the upper part of the skirt is provided with a succession of grooves (9) which have both an aesthetic function and a technique insofar as they can contribute to obtain a clear rupture of the line of weakness (44), without untimely tearing of the lower part (11) of the skirt.
  • Figure 7 is a side view of a neck (7) of a bottle provided with a cap (1) according to the invention where the tongue (46) is shown in the unfolded position, ready to be taken hand by the consumer, the tongue being, before opening, not deployed and plated in (mentioned in dotted lines in the figure), so as not to overflow the rest of the cap and risk being pulled accidentally.
  • Figure 8 is a side view, similar to Figure 7, after the consumer has pulled on the tab (46) to form the opening strip (45), and thus discovered the wire hood (3) which includes a tightening wire (30) passing under the glass ring and a tightening eyelet (31).
  • FIG. 9 represents what is obtained at the end of easy opening of said cap, the part upper comprising the head (5) generally remaining integral with the strip opening (46), which corresponds to the upper part (10) of the cap (1).
  • Figure 10 is a sectional view of the neck (7) of a bottle (2) showing what is obtained after removal of the upper part of the cap (10), with a covering wire (3) a plug (8) and holding it in position thanks to a tightening wire (30) passing under the glass ring (20) of the neck of the bottle, and with a lower part (11) of the cap (1) held in place on the neck (7).
  • FIGS. 12a to 12d various types of tongues (46) have been shown below. according to the invention.
  • said means for automatically orienting the tearing force when opening said cap towards said two weakening lines comprises notches or recesses (460, 461) made at the "high” and “low” ends of said tongue (46), notches or recesses made in said film material or sheet constituting said cap, as appears on the developed of the skirt (4) at the Figure 11, and Figure 6.
  • the width L 1 of said tongue (46) can range from 0.5.L to L, with L going from 1.5 to 4 cm, so as to have both an easy manual gripping of said tongue and to be able to exert a force which will be transmitted to said opening strip (45) without breaking of said tongue, as may happen with the caps according to the state of the art.
  • Said tongue can also have various shapes as illustrated, by way of example, in FIGS. 12a to 12d.
  • the notches or recesses (460, 461) may have more or less acute angles, as shown in Figures 12a to 12c.
  • the angle a at the bottom of the notch, as shown in FIGS. 12b and 12c is typically less than 90 °, so that the force exerted on said tongue is channeled towards said lines of weakness (460 , 461).
  • said material is chosen from sheets or strips of Al or alloy Al, Sn or Sn alloy, shrink film, Al / PE / Al complex where Al denotes the outer layers of Al and PE the inner layer of PE.
  • said tongue (46) is provided with means of visual contrast and / or reinforcement, so as to indicate to the consumer, in a discreet but nevertheless clear manner, on what it should be exerted a slight tensile force, while giving it the impression of having in hand a tongue having a certain toughness, despite the fact that said caps are made from sheet material or thin strip .
  • the visual contrast and reinforcement means illustrated in FIGS. 6 and 11 is a guilloche surface, that is to say provided with a lattice of small reliefs obtained by stamping, which provide the tongue with sufficient contrast in relation to the environment.
  • said upper part of the skirt (10) prefferably comprises axial grooves (9), the lower end of which is located 1 to 5 mm above said lower weakening line (44).
  • These grooves have first an advantageous aesthetic effect, known in itself, but it seems that they can also, in the context of the present invention, contribute to promoting an easy opening of said cap (1) along the lines d weakening, in particular along the bottom line (44), so as to leave intact the bottom part (11) of the cap.
  • said sheet or strip material may have a thickness ranging from 25 to 50 ⁇ m when the material is aluminum or alloy, a thickness ranging from 110 to 150 ⁇ m when the material is tin or alloy, thickness ranging from 60 to 100 ⁇ m when the material is a shrink plastic film, and a thickness ranging from 60 to 110 ⁇ m when the material is an Al / PE / Al multilayer complex.
  • the invention has the advantage of solving the problems of easy opening of the caps for sparkling wines without having to significantly modify the manufacturing processes usual, nor introduce a particular insert, of the "tircel" type, and this while keeping at the headdress itself its decorative and attractive side.
