Definitions
- the invention relates to the technical field of plugs of the push-pull type. which allow you to drink directly from the neck of the bottle.
- plugs are conventionally composed of a base, a pusher and a protective cover, as is apparent, for example, from US-A-5, 813, 575, which describes a plug according to the preamble of claim 1.
- the cover and / or the pusher can be fitted with tamper-evident indicators which complicate the manufacturing molds, the molding and the assembly of the three rooms.
- the object of the invention is to provide a closure system of the type presented above. comprising a perfect sealing means before opening, forming witness of first opening, and guaranteeing perfect hygiene of the cap before its first opening.
- This seal therefore makes it possible in particular to limit the bacterial risks.
- the external lateral skirt of the base is extended, in the lower part, by a tamper-evident band connected by frangible bridges to the lower edge of the skirt.
- Frangible bridges are separated from each other by support zones abutting against the lower edge of the outer side skirt during the fitting the cap on the container neck.
- the endpiece or pusher has a curved bottom wall extended, in part lower by an annular wall whose internal surface is shaped substantially corresponding to the external surface of the upper part of the base.
- the wall of the pusher has an internal shoulder abutting when the pusher is in the closed position, against the surface of the shoulder of the base.
- the internal surface of the wall is, in the upper part, in contact with the bead from the end zone of the base.
- the closure system shown has three parts.
- the assembly is of revolution around an axis 4, in the embodiment represented.
- the base 1 is first described.
- the base 1 comprises an external lateral skirt 5 provided with an internal thread 6.
- this external lateral skirt extends an annular wall 7 substantially horizontal and perpendicular to the external side skirt 5.
- This annular wall 7 is bounded inwardly by a wall substantially vertical 8, concentric with the external lateral skirt 5.
- This wall 8 extends upwards over a height h8 and extends downwards, below the surface formed by the wall 7, to form a side skirt internal 9, concentric with the external side skirt 5.
- This internal side skirt 9 has, at its lower end, a external lateral bead 10 forming sealing lip.
- this bead 10 extends over a height h 10 of the order of half the vertical dimension h 9 of the internal side skirt 9 or the height h 8 .
- the outer 5 and inner 9 side skirts define, over the height h 9 , an annular space E limited, upwards, by the wall 7, and open downwards.
- the substantially horizontal upper surface 11 of the wall 8 forms a surface support for the lower edge of the cover skirt 3.
- the upper part 12 of the base 1 has two cylindrical zones 13, 14 from bottom to top, of decreasing diameter, separated by a shoulder 15.
- the shoulder 15 defines a frustoconical external annular surface 16, coming in abutment against a complementary surface of the pusher 2, in the closed position for the cap.
- the second end zone 14 has, near its free edge 17, a An external lateral bead 18 for sealing.
- the external lateral skirt 5 of the base 1 is extended at the bottom, by a tamper-evident tape 19.
- This tamper-evident band 19 is connected by frangible bridges 20 at the edge lower 21 of the skirt 5.
- Frangible bridges 20 are of smaller cross section at their upper part than in their lower part.
- frangible bridges 20 are, in the embodiment shown, of section transversely substantially triangular.
- bridges 20 are limited, inwards, by a substantially vertical surface 22 and, towards the outside, by a surface 23 inclined relative to the vertical.
- these bridges 20 facilitates their preferential breaking in the vicinity of their attachment zone with the tamper-evident band 19, during their first opening.
- Support surfaces 24 separate the frangible bridges 20 from each other.
- the distance between the lower edge 21 of the skirt 5 and the bearing surface 24 is very low and very less than the height of the bridges 20.
- An annular lip 25 extends the tamper-evident band 19, at the bottom.
- This lip 25 is turned inward, in a manner known per se during the fitting the cap on the container neck.
- the base 1 can be made of a plastic material such as polypropylene or polyethylene.
- the cover 3 comprises a body formed by a bottom wall 26, transverse and a side skirt 27, slightly tapered, flaring downward.
- the maximum internal diameter D 27 defined by the skirt 27 is slightly greater than the internal diameter D 9 defined by the internal lateral skirt 9 of the base 1.
- the cover 3 has external streaks or gadroons 28 facilitating its handling.
- At least a portion of the outer surface of the cover 3 is granited.
- This end piece 2 has a protruding curved bottom wall 29, in part lower, by an annular wall 30.
- the internal surface of the wall 30 has a shape substantially corresponding to the outer surface of zones 13 and 14 of base 1.
- a shoulder 31 internal to the wall 30 abuts when the pusher or tip 2 is in the closed position, against the surface 16 of the shoulder 15 of the base 1.
- the internal surface 33 of the wall 30 is, in the upper part, in contact with the outer bead 18 of the end zone 14 of the base 1.
- end piece 2 is mounted on the upper part of the base 1 of so as to seal in the closed or pushed position and to ensure flow in pulled or open position.
- notches can be made at the base of the cover 3 of such so that they coincide with other notches on the surface of the base 1 serving as a support for the skirt 27 of the cover 3.
- notches are such that they do not impede the rotation of the cover 3 in the direction of opening, for example counterclockwise, but cause a blockage of this rotation in the screwing direction, for example clockwise.
- the cover 3 can be made of translucent or semi-transparent material of so as to reveal the color of the pusher.
- This color could be linked, for example to the content of the container on which the closure system is applied.
- a peelable cover 36 is fixed, by gluing, heat sealing, or any other equivalent process, above the nipple 34 and the upper face of the wall bottom 29 curved end piece 2.
- the bottom wall 29 comprises an annular lip 37 which projects upwards, being limited by a upper surface 38.
- This annular lip 37 extends around the stud 34, being coplanar with the upper face 39 of the nipple, which facilitates the positioning of the peelable seal 36.
- the peelable cover 36 extends over the upper face 39 of the stud 34 and the upper surface 38 of the annular lip 37 covering the hole 35, thus guaranteeing the sealing of the cap before its first opening.
- the cover 36 thereby prevents impurities from settling on the nipple 34 before the first use of the cap, and therefore has an anti-bacterial effect.
- the stud 34 may have, in its upper part, a recess 40 cylindrical with axis 4, located in the center of the upper face 39.
- peelable materials known in themselves, can be used for the production of the peelable cover: aluminum polyethylene complex, multilayer comprising EVOH etc.
- the tightness of the cap is notably reinforced by the stud 34 of the base 1 the external lateral surface of which defines baffles with the wall of the hole 35 corresponding in pusher 2.
- the second substantially horizontal wall is arranged in a plane placed above of the plane comprising the first substantially horizontal wall.
- the frustoconical annular wall of the hole 35 comes to bear against the frustoconical surface of the stud 34 and the first annular wall substantially horizontal hole 35 abuts against the first surface substantially horizontal nipple 34.
- the substantially vertical lateral surfaces of the stud 34 are substantially in contact over their entire extent with the annular walls substantially vertical holes 35.
- the bridges 20 connecting the tamper-evident band 19 to the side skirt 5 can be broken when the user wishes, for example, to refill the container.
- a first inviolability is linked to the presence of a peelable seal 36.
- a second inviolability is linked to the first unscrewing of the base 1 by relative to the container neck.
