Description

CONTENEUR DE BOISSON OU AUTRE LIQUIDE AVEC BEC VERSEUR DEPLOYABLE BEVERAGE CONTAINER OR OTHER LIQUID WITH DEPLOYABLE POURING SPOUT
Domaine de 1 ' inventionField of the invention
La présente invention est relative d'une façon générale aux conteneurs de boisson ou autre liquide et elle concerne plus particulièrement un bec verseur pour des conteneurs décapsulables, tels que boîte et canette.The present invention relates generally to beverage or other liquid containers and it relates more particularly to a pouring spout for openable containers, such as can and can.
Technique antérieurePrior art
A l'heure actuelle, lorsqu'un consommateur désire boire à même une boîte ou canette après l'avoir décapsulée, il lui faut porter les lèvres contre la surface extérieure de conteneur. Or, cette surface extérieure porte habituellement des souillures diverses résultant de 1 ' entreposage et des manipulations de toutes sortes durant le conditionnement, le transport et le stockage des conteneurs. Dans les réseaux de distribution également, les conteneurs sont manipulés à maintes reprises par des personnes différentes. Dans les réfrigérateurs des chaînes de distribution, par exemple, de nombreuses personnes manipulent les conteneurs, notamment pour en appré- cier l'état de fraîcheur. En outre, des conteneurs sont souvent posés à même le sol et se trouvent ainsi à portée d'animaux ou peuvent venir en contact avec des produits chimiques, des détritus, des graisses, des huiles, etc.At present, when a consumer wishes to drink from a can or can after having opened it, he must wear his lips against the outer surface of the container. However, this outer surface usually carries various stains resulting from the storage and handling of all kinds during the packaging, transport and storage of the containers. In distribution networks too, containers are handled many times by different people. In the refrigerators of distribution chains, for example, many people handle the containers, in particular to assess their freshness. In addition, containers are often placed on the floor and are therefore within reach of animals or may come into contact with chemicals, detritus, grease, oils, etc.
Tout cela fait que les conteneurs de boisson actuellement sur le marché sont d'une hygiène douteuse.All this means that the beverage containers currently on the market are of questionable hygiene.
Par ailleurs, il n'est pas rare que lorsqu'un consommateur boit à même le conteneur, notamment un enfant, il se blesse aux lèvres ou à la langue. De plus, de la boisson se répand souvent sur la face supérieure du conteneur ou dans le rebord que présente souvent le conteneur.In addition, it is not uncommon that when a consumer drinks from the container, especially a child, he hurts his lips or his tongue. In addition, beverage often spills over the top of the container or into the rim that the container often presents.
Résumé de l'inventionSummary of the invention
La présente invention a pour but de remédier à ces inconvénients des conteneurs de boisson actuels et, à cet effet, elle propose un conteneur décapsulable tel que défini dans les revendications.The object of the present invention is to remedy these drawbacks of current beverage containers and, to this end, it proposes a collapsible container as defined in the claims.
Plus particulièrement, un conteneur décapsulable suivant 1 ' invention comporte un bec verseur souple déployable, qui se trouve replié et dissimulé sous la capsule du conteneur. Lorsque le consommateur retire la capsule qui obture le conteneur, le bec verseur qui se trouve dissimulé sous la capsule, se dégage et se déploie vers l'extérieur en forme de tube pour servir de goulot. Grâce à l'invention, le consommateur peut toujours porter la bouche en contact avec un goulot protégé de toute souillure externe sous la capsule et par conséquent intact et d'une propreté alimentaire lors de l'usage. De plus, l'invention a l'avantage de ne pas modifier les dimensions extérieures des conteneurs, ce qui leur permet de pouvoir toujours être rangés dans les distributeurs automatiques et les réfrigérateurs.More particularly, a container which can be opened according to the invention comprises a flexible deployable spout, which is folded up and hidden under the capsule of the container. When the consumer removes the capsule which closes the container, the spout which is hidden under the capsule, emerges and deploys outwards in the form of a tube to serve as a neck. Thanks to the invention, the consumer can always wear the mouth in contact with a neck protected from any external stain under the capsule and therefore intact and of food cleanliness during use. In addition, the invention has the advantage of not modifying the external dimensions of the containers, which allows them to always be able to be stored in vending machines and refrigerators.

Description d'un mode de réalisation de l'inventionDescription of an embodiment of the invention
Sur les figures 1 et 2 on voit représenté à titre d'exemple, un conteneur 10 avec sa paroi latérale 11, sa base 12 et sa face supérieure 13 dans laquelle est formée une capsule separable 14. Sur la face extérieure de la capsule 14 est fixée, ainsi qu'il est d'usage, un anneau (non représenté) pour permettre de détacher la capsule.In Figures 1 and 2 we see shown by way of example, a container 10 with its side wall 11, its base 12 and its upper face 13 in which is formed a separable capsule 14. On the outer face of the capsule 14 is fixed as it is in use, a ring (not shown) to allow the capsule to be detached.
Sous la face supérieure 13 du conteneur 10 est disposée une base 15 fixée sur son pourtour à la paroi latérale 11 et s 'étendant avec un écartement en dessous de la capsule 14 de manière à former un espace intercalaire 16 sous la capsule 14. Dans sa partie s 'étendant sous la capsule, la base 15 précitée est percée d'un orifice 17. Sur le pourtour de l'orifice 17 est attachée une extrémité d'une pièce tubulaire souple 18 qui se trouve repliée à plat sur elle-même et vient se loger dans l'espace intercalaire 16 sous la capsule.Under the upper face 13 of the container 10 is disposed a base 15 fixed on its periphery to the side wall 11 and extending with a spacing below the capsule 14 so as to form an intermediate space 16 under the capsule 14. In its part extending under the capsule, the aforementioned base 15 is pierced with an orifice 17. On the periphery of the orifice 17 is attached one end of a flexible tubular piece 18 which is folded flat on itself and is housed in the intermediate space 16 under the capsule.
L'ensemble des pièces solidaires 15 et 18 est mis en place sur le conteneur 10, après remplissage de celui-ci, lors de la fermeture hermétique du conteneur par tout procédé usuel.All of the integral parts 15 and 18 are placed on the container 10, after filling thereof, during the hermetic closure of the container by any usual method.
Lorsque le consommateur détache la capsule 14 qui protège la pièce tubulaire 18 repliée à plat, celle- ci se trouve libérée et se déploie vers l'extérieur comme montré sur les figures 3 et 4 de manière à former un bec verseur pouvant servir de goulot. Pendant qu'il détache la capsule 14 du conteneur 10, le consommateur peut maintenir avec le doigt le tube 18 replié jusqu'à ce que la capsule soit complètement séparée du conteneur. Un petit bosselage 19 est avan- tageusement prévu, comme illustré sur la figure 4, pour augmenter l'étanchéité du tube souple replié. Il est clair que, protégé sous la capsule 14, le bec verseur-goulot est d'une qualité et d'une propreté alimentaires et peut être pris en bouche par le consommateur avec toutes les conditions d'hygiène recommandables. En outre, le bec verseur-goulot déployé se présente exempt de boisson et sans que celle-ci ne se répande tout autour.When the consumer detaches the capsule 14 which protects the tubular part 18 folded flat, it is released and deploys outward as shown in Figures 3 and 4 so as to form a spout that can serve as a neck. While detaching the capsule 14 from the container 10, the consumer can hold the folded tube 18 with his finger until the capsule is completely separated from the container. A small boss 19 is advantageously provided, as illustrated in FIG. 4, to increase the tightness of the folded flexible tube. It is clear that, protected under the capsule 14, the spout-neck is of food quality and cleanliness and can be taken in the mouth by the consumer with all recommended hygienic conditions. In addition, the spout-spout deployed is free of drink and without it spilling all around.
Il est bien entendu que le mode de réalisation illustré dans les dessins et décrit ci-avant est un exemple d'exécution servant à illustrer l'invention. Celle-ci s'applique à divers types de conteneurs tels que boîtes, canettes, conteneurs "tetrabrik", flacons pour liquides et produits divers (pharmaceutiques, chimiques, etc.). D'autre part, diverses modifications et variantes peuvent être apportées par l'homme du métier sans sortir du cadre des revendications. It is understood that the embodiment illustrated in the drawings and described above is an exemplary embodiment used to illustrate the invention. This applies to various types of containers such as boxes, cans, "tetrabrik" containers, bottles for liquids and various products (pharmaceutical, chemical, etc.). On the other hand, various modifications and variants can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the claims.
