Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a closure device for liquid product container.
  • These devices traditionally include, from a part, a lower element provided with an internal neck for distributing the product and an external lateral skirt for fixing to the container neck and, on the other hand, an added upper element provided with means for closing said neck and intended to be connected to said element lower via a joint equipped with a connecting member.
  • connecting members used in these devices are anchored on the upper part of the lower element and do not therefore do not adapt satisfactorily to joints of the type comprising several deformable arms in bi-stable position.
  • a closure device is known from document US-A-6,039,197.
  • the object of the present invention is to solve these problems techniques by looking for a link member compatible with both the functional constraints of the joint and the requirements aesthetics of the entire device.
  • a device shutter characterized in that said connecting member is constituted a tongue carrying on its front face a detent capable of engage and lock in a light provided between the walls respective of the external side skirt and the internal neck.
  • said articulation consists of a hinge comprising a central arm and two arms lateral at least partially elastically deformable.
  • the central arm is connected to the middle part of said tongue while the lateral arms are connected to its part higher.
  • said light is bounded upward by a projecting edge of the wall of the skirt intended to cooperate with the stopper of the connecting member.
  • said projecting edge is offset radially towards the interior with respect to the wall of the skirt.
  • said projecting edge has a song beveled facilitating the engagement of the stopper of the connecting member.
  • said light is delimited laterally and downwards by a slot on the wall of the skirt and whose dimensions correspond substantially to those of the tongue, so that said tongue extends, in position assembly, in the flush extension of the external wall of the skirt.
  • the respective walls of the external skirt and the internal neck are connected by a shoulder located above the light level.
  • said tongue has on its face dorsal above the middle part, a constriction intended to receive at minus part of the joint in the closed position.
  • said tongue consists of a portion of cylindrical wall.
  • the closure device of the invention is very ergonomic and consists of two independent parts which, once assembled by integration of the connecting member, give the device an appearance identical to that of devices made in one piece.
  • the advantage of the two-piece embodiment is mainly in the simplicity of the tools for manufacturing and especially mussels.
  • the closure device of the invention comprises an element upper 1 (FIG. 1A) and a lower element 2 (FIG. 1B) intended for be assembled with each other.
  • the lower element 2 is provided with an internal neck 20 of distribution of the liquid product and of an external side skirt 21 for the fixing, here by snap-fastening, on the neck of a container (not shown).
  • the lower element 2 is further provided with a ring 27 intended to allow traction tearing off a protective veil 23.
  • the neck 20 is here produced on only part of the around the lower element 2.
  • the front part of the skirt 21 is provided with a groove 26 to facilitate the grip of the upper element 1 which is in turn provided a tab 15 projecting above the groove 26, in the position of closing the device.
  • the lower element is also provided with a band inviolability (not shown) at least partially peripheral and attached to the upper part of the skirt 21 by bridges capable to be broken at trimming the tape.
  • a band inviolability (not shown) at least partially peripheral and attached to the upper part of the skirt 21 by bridges capable to be broken at trimming the tape.
  • the function of the inviolability tape is to imprison the lower edge of the upper element 1, thus joining so temporary the upper 1 and lower 2 elements to guarantee the integrity of the container.
  • the upper element 1 is provided with means for closing the neck 20 and is intended to be connected to the lower element 2 via a articulation 11 equipped with a connecting member 12 produced from a single part with said element, for example by injection molding.
  • the sealing means consist of a capsule 10 with a bottom 10a and a substantially cylindrical side wall 10b whose dimensions are adapted to that of the neck 20 to allow a tight fitting.
  • the capsule 10 is bordered coaxially with a crown 13 whose external lateral face is provided with grooves 13a facilitating the gripping.
  • the capsule 10 is locked in the closed position at means of a rod 14 intended to be housed in an internal groove peripheral 24 of corresponding profile formed on the neck 20.
  • the connecting member 12 consists of a tongue 12a bearing on its front face a stop notch 12b capable of engaging and to lock in a slot 22 formed between the walls respective of the skirt 21 and the neck 20.
  • the tongue 12a is constituted here of a portion of cylindrical wall because the general shape of the device corresponds to a cylinder of revolution.
  • the joint 11 consists of a hinge comprising a central arm 11a and two lateral arms 11b, 11c.
  • the arms 11a, 11b, 11c are at least partially elastically deformable and are likely to take two stable extreme positions corresponding respectively to the positions opening and closing of the device.
  • the central arm 11a is connected to the middle part of the tongue 12a by a first elastically deformable zone while that the side arms 11b, 11c are connected to the upper part of said tongue.
  • the deployment of the arms 11a, 11b, 11c is carried out from a fallback position corresponding to the closing of the device as it is shown in Figure 3 to an extended position corresponding to the opening of the device by releasing the element upper 1 and release of the neck 10 as shown in the figure 4.
  • the central arm 11a has two straight sections rigid joined by a flexible elbow 110.
  • the distal section of the central arm connects directly to the capsule 10 by a second elastically deformable zone and its length corresponds to the distance separating the crown 13 from the wall side 10b of the capsule 10.
  • the central arm 11a in its folded closed position, the central arm 11a is it perfectly integrated in the upper element 1 without creating discontinuity.
  • the tongue 12a has, on its dorsal side, above the middle part of connection to the central arm, a constriction 120 intended to receive, in closed position, the proximal section of said arm 11a so flush and therefore without creating discontinuity.
  • the lateral arms 11b, 11c are identical and symmetrical. They are formed by two sections of the same length and section substantially triangular which are joined by their top defining an intermediate zone 111 of small thickness which has a capacity elastic deformation.
  • the distal section of the lateral arms is attached to the wall side of the crown 13, while the proximal section is backed by the dorsal face of the tongue 12a.
  • the light 22 receiving the connecting member 12 is delimited upwards by a projecting edge 21b formed on the wall of the skirt 21 and intended to cooperate with the stop notch 12b of the connecting member.
  • the projecting edge 21b is offset radially inwards by relative to the wall of the skirt 21 and has a bevelled edge for facilitate the introduction of the notch 12b.
  • the light 22 is delimited laterally and downwards by a slot 21a formed on the wall of the skirt 21 and the dimensions of which correspond substantially to those of the tongue 12a.
  • the tongue 12a extends in position assembly of the upper 1 and lower 2 elements, in the flush extension of the outer wall of the skirt 21.
  • the respective walls of the external skirt 21 and the internal neck 20 are connected by a shoulder 25 disposed above the level of light 22 and extending peripherally.
