Abstract

A lid for a container is openable by peeling. The lid includes a first layer adhered to a second layer (5) having, on its outer face, a sealing agent (6) enabling it to adhere to the container (1, 2). The first layer (3) has a cut-out portion (7) delimiting a gripping tab (8). In addition, the force of adherence between the first and second layers (3, 5) is greater than the force of adherence between the second layer (5) and the container (1, 2). Alternatively, the lid includes a third layer (13) adhered to the first layer (3) and having a hole (15) permitting access to the tab (8).

Description

La présente invention concerne un opercule pour récipient à ouverture par pelage, comprenant une première couche fixée par adhérence à une deuxième couche comportant un agent de scellage sur sa face externe, cet agent étant destiné à permettre à l'opercule d'adhérer au récipient par scellage.The present invention relates to a cover for a container for opening by peeling, comprising a first layer fixed by adhesion to a second layer comprising a sealing agent on its external face, this agent being intended to allow the lid to adhere to the container by sealing.

Les opercules destinés à être fixés par scellage sur les récipients à ouverture par pelage sont en général pourvus d'une languette de préhension formant une excroissance latérale.The lids intended to be fixed by sealing on the peel-open containers are generally provided with a grip tab forming a lateral projection.

Or, lorsque la fixation des opercules est assurée par thermoscellage, une partie de la chaleur fournie est absorbée localement par la languette, de sorte que le scellage à la base de cette dernière est souvent de moins bonne qualité et moins résistant qu'ailleurs.However, when the fixing of the lids is ensured by heat sealing, part of the heat supplied is absorbed locally by the tab, so that the seal at the base of the latter is often of lower quality and less resistant than elsewhere.

La présente invention se propose en particulier de remédier à cet inconvénient et, pour ce faire, elle a pour objet un opercule ayant la structure indiquée ci-dessus, cet opercule étant caractérisé en ce que la première couche comporte une découpe intérieure délimitant une languette de préhension, et en ce que la force d'adhérence entre les première et deuxième couches est supérieure à la force d'adhérence entre la deuxième couche et le récipient.The present invention proposes in particular to remedy this disadvantage and, to do this, it relates to a seal having the structure indicated above, this cover being characterized in that the first layer has a cutout interior delimiting a gripping tab, and in that the bond strength between the first and second layers is greater than the bond strength between the second layer and the container.

La languette de préhension de cet opercule ne constitue pas d'excroissance latérale puisqu'elle est située au niveau d'une découpe réalisée à l'intérieur de la première couche.The gripping tab of this cover does not constitute lateral protrusion since it is located at a level cut out inside the first layer.

La chaleur fournie pour la réalisation du scellage reste donc uniformément répartie le long de la ligne suivant laquelle l'opercule adhère au récipient, ce qui évite la présence sur cette ligne de zones d'adhérence de qualité et de résistance variables.The heat supplied for the sealing therefore remains evenly distributed along the line along which the seal adheres to the container, which avoids the presence on this line of variable quality and resistance grip zones.

On notera par ailleurs que les forces d'adhérence différentes entre les couches constitutives de l'opercule d'une part, et entre l'opercule et le récipient d'autre part, garantissent une ouverture correcte sans dédoublement des couches.Note also that the different adhesion forces between the constituent layers of the cover on the one hand, and between the lid and the container on the other hand, guarantee an opening correct without duplication of layers.

De préférence, la languette comporte une racine la reliant à la première couche, une extrémité libre opposée à la racine et deux côtés reliant la racine à l'extrémité libre, un trou étant ménagé dans la première couche de façon à être délimité au moins partiellement par l'extrémité libre de la languette. Preferably, the tongue has a root connecting it to the first layer, one free end opposite the root and two sides connecting the root to the free end, a hole being made in the first layer so as to be delimited at least partially through the free end of the tongue.

Grâce à ce trou, la languette peut être plus facilement saisie en vue de l'ouverture du récipient.Thanks to this hole, the tongue can be more easily grasped for the opening of the container.

Selon un mode de réalisation particulier, l'opercule selon l'invention comprend une troisième couche fixée par adhérence à la première couche et comportant un trou permettant d'accéder à la languette.According to a particular embodiment, the cover according to the invention comprises a third layer fixed by adhesion to the first layer and having a hole giving access to the tongue.

La troisième couche renforce la solidité de l'opercule et évite que la languette se sépare accidentellement de la première couche lorsqu'une traction est exercée sur elle en vue de l'ouverture du récipient.The third layer strengthens the strength of the cover and prevents the tab from accidentally separating from the first diaper when traction is exerted on it in order to opening the container.

Afin de faciliter la préhension de la languette, le trou de la troisième couche est de préférence au moins aussi grand que la languette.To facilitate gripping of the tongue, the hole in the third layer is preferably at least as large as the tongue.

Selon une première variante, le trou de la troisième couche est délimité au moins en partie par l'extrémité libre de la languette et/ou par l'un au moins des côtés de cette dernière.According to a first variant, the hole of the third layer is delimited at least in part by the free end of the tongue and / or by at least one of the sides of the latter.

Selon une deuxième variante, le trou de la troisième couche est défini par une découpe particulière délimitant une languette supplémentaire recouvrant au moins en partie la languette de la première couche, la languette supplémentaire étant solidaire de la première.According to a second variant, the hole of the third layer is defined by a particular cut delimiting a tongue additional covering at least in part the tongue of the first layer, the additional tongue being integral with the first.

Selon une troisième variante, la languette de la première couche se prolonge au moins en partie sur la troisième couche de façon à être plus facilement saisissable manuellement.According to a third variant, the tongue of the first layer extends at least in part on the third layer of so that it is easier to enter manually.

Enfin, on précisera que chacune des première, deuxième et troisième couches est en papier ou en aluminium, ou est constituée par un film de matière plastique.Finally, it will be specified that each of the first, second and third layer is made of paper or aluminum, or is made by a plastic film.

Plusieurs modes d'exécution de la présente invention seront décrits ci-après à titre d'exemples nullement limitatifs en référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels :

  • la figure 1 est une vue en perspective montrant un récipient fermé par un opercule à deux couches conforme à l'invention, la languette de l'opercule étant relevée ;
  • la figure 2 est une vue en coupe partielle et à échelle agrandie selon la figure II-II de la figure 1 ;
  • la figure 3 est une vue analogue à la figure 2 mais montrant le récipient en cours d'ouverture ;
  • la figure 4 est une vue en coupe partielle et à échelle agrandie analogue à la figure 2 mais montrant un opercule à trois couches ;
  • la figure 5 est une vue de dessus schématique et partielle de l'opercule visible sur la figure 4 ; et
  • la figure 6 est une vue de dessus analogue à la figure 5 mais montrant une variante de réalisation de l'opercule à trois couches.
Several embodiments of the present invention will be described below by way of non-limiting examples with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view showing a container closed by a two-layer cover according to the invention, the tab of the cover being raised;
  • Figure 2 is a partial sectional view on an enlarged scale according to Figure II-II of Figure 1;
  • Figure 3 is a view similar to Figure 2 but showing the container being opened;
  • Figure 4 is a partial sectional view on an enlarged scale similar to Figure 2 but showing a cover with three layers;
  • Figure 5 is a schematic and partial top view of the cover visible in Figure 4; and
  • Figure 6 is a top view similar to Figure 5 but showing an alternative embodiment of the cover with three layers.

Les figures 1 et 2 montrent un opercule fixé par scellage sur le rebord 1 délimitant l'entrée d'un récipient 2 réalisé de préférence en matière plastique.Figures 1 and 2 show a seal fixed by sealing on the rim 1 delimiting the entry of a container 2 made of preferably plastic.

Cet opercule comprend une première couche 3 fixée par l'intermédiaire d'un agent adhésif 4 à une deuxième couche 5 elle-même fixée sur le rebord 1 du récipient par l'intermédiaire d'un agent de scellage 6.This cover comprises a first layer 3 fixed by through an adhesive agent 4 to a second layer 5 itself fixed on the rim 1 of the container via a sealant 6.

L'agent de scellage 6 utilisé a une composition appropriée pour que l'opercule puisse être fixé à froid ou à chaud sur le rebord 1 du récipient et être enlevé par pelage quel que soit le mode de scellage de l'opercule.The sealant 6 used has an appropriate composition so that the cover can be fixed cold or hot on the rim 1 of the container and be removed by peeling whatever the sealing mode of the lid.

La première couche 3 comporte une découpe 7 délimitant une languette de préhension 8 et adhère à la deuxième couche 5 avec une force qui est supérieure à celle qui assure la fixation de l'opercule sur le rebord 1 du récipient.The first layer 3 includes a cutout 7 defining a gripping tab 8 and adheres to the second layer 5 with a force which is greater than that which secures the cover on the rim 1 of the container.

Ainsi, lorsque l'on exerce sur la languette 8 une traction afin d'ouvrir le récipient 2, les couches 3 et 5 ne risquent pas de se dédoubler.Thus, when one exerts on the tongue 8 a traction in order to open container 2, layers 3 and 5 are not likely to to split.

La languette 8 comporte une racine 9 par l'intermédiaire de laquelle elle est reliée à la première couche, une extrémité libre 10 opposée à sa racine, et deux côtés longitudinaux 11 reliant son extrémité libre et sa racine.The tongue 8 has a root 9 through which it is connected to the first layer, a free end 10 opposite its root, and two longitudinal sides 11 connecting its free end and its root.

Dans l'exemple représenté sur les figures 1 et 2, la découpe 7 est réalisée de telle sorte qu'un trou 12 s'étend en avant de l'extrémité libre 10 de la languette 8 et permet une préhension plus facile de cette dernière.In the example shown in Figures 1 and 2, the cutout 7 is made so that a hole 12 extends in front of the free end 10 of the tongue 8 and allows a more gripping easy of the latter.

On notera ici qu'il est souhaitable qu'il n'y ait pas d'agent adhésif 4 entre les couches 3 et 5 à l'aplomb de la languette afin que celle-ci puisse être facilement séparée de la couche 5 sous l'action d'une traction exercée vers le haut à partir de son extrémité libre 10.Note here that it is desirable that there is no agent adhesive 4 between layers 3 and 5 below the tongue so that it can be easily separated from layer 5 under the action of an upward pull from its free end 10.

On notera également que le trou 12 pourrait si nécessaire s'étendre en avant de l'un au moins des deux côtés longitudinaux 11 de la languette.Note also that hole 12 could if necessary extend in front of at least one of the two longitudinal sides 11 of the tongue.

La figure 3 montre qu'il suffit de saisir la languette 8 et d'exercer sur elle une traction vers le haut pour ouvrir le récipient 2.Figure 3 shows that it suffices to grasp the tongue 8 and pull up on it to open the container 2.

Les figures 4 et 5 montrent un autre opercule selon l'invention. Cet autre opercule se distingue en fait de celui qui vient d'être décrit en ce qu'il comprend une troisième couche 13 fixée sur la première couche 3 par l'intermédiaire d'un adhésif 14 et comportant un trou 15 permettant d'accéder facilement à la languette 8.Figures 4 and 5 show another seal according to the invention. This other seal is in fact distinguished from that which has just been described in that it comprises a third layer 13 fixed to the first layer 3 by means of an adhesive 14 and having a hole 15 allowing easy access to the tab 8.

Dans l'exemple représenté sur les figures 4 et 5, le trou 15 a les mêmes dimensions que la découpe 7 ménagée dans la première couche 3, mais rien ne s'oppose à ce qu'il soit plus grand. En effet, il pourrait par exemple laisser apparaítre la première couche sur une largeur prédéterminée le long de l'un au moins des deux côtés de la languette 8.In the example shown in Figures 4 and 5, the hole 15 a the same dimensions as the cutout 7 made in the first layer 3, but nothing prevents it from being larger. In effect, it could for example reveal the first layer over a predetermined width along at least one of the two sides of the tongue 8.

Comme le montre clairement la figure 4, le trou 15 de la troisième couche comporte un côté situé juste au dessus de la racine 9 de la languette.As clearly shown in Figure 4, hole 15 in the third layer has one side just above the root 9 of the tab.

Les risques pour que la languette se sépare accidentellement de la première couche 3 lorsqu'une traction est exercée sur elle sont ainsi totalement évités.Risks of accidentally separating the tongue of the first layer 3 when a traction is exerted on it are thus completely avoided.

Sur les figures 4 et 5, le trou 15 ménagé dans la troisième couche 13 laisse apparaítre la languette 8. Il pourrait toutefois être défini par une découpe délimitant une languette supplémentaire recouvrant partiellement ou en totalité la languette 8. Dans ce mode de réalisation, la languette supplémentaire serait solidaire de cette dernière qui serait donc renforcée.In FIGS. 4 and 5, the hole 15 made in the third layer 13 reveals the tongue 8. It could however be defined by a cut delimiting an additional tab partially or entirely covering the tongue 8. In this mode of realization, the additional tongue would be integral with the latter which would therefore be reinforced.

La figure 6 représente une variante de réalisation de l'opercule visible sur les figures 4 et 5.FIG. 6 represents an alternative embodiment of the cover visible in FIGS. 4 and 5.

Selon cette variante, la languette 8 se prolonge en partie au dessus de la troisième couche 13, ce qui rend sa préhension encore plus facile. According to this variant, the tongue 8 extends in part at above the third layer 13, which makes it grip again easier.

Dans ce mode de réalisation particulier, la troisième couche 13 recouvre un espace vide correspondant au prolongement sur elle de la languette 8 ainsi qu'au trou 12 dont il a été question à propos des figures 1 à 3.In this particular embodiment, the third layer 13 covers an empty space corresponding to the extension on it of the tongue 8 as well as the hole 12 which was discussed about Figures 1 to 3.

Enfin, on précisera que les couches 3, 5 et 13 peuvent être en papier ou en aluminium ou être constituées par un film de matière plastique.Finally, it will be specified that layers 3, 5 and 13 can be in paper or aluminum or consist of a film of material plastic.
