Definitions
- 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.
- the lids intended to be fixed by sealing on the peel-open containers are generally provided with a grip tab forming a lateral projection.
- 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.
- the gripping tab of this cover does not constitute lateral protrusion since it is located at a level cut out inside the first layer.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- the hole in the third layer is preferably at least as large as the tongue.
- 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.
- 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.
- the tongue of the first layer extends at least in part on the third layer of so that it is easier to enter manually.
- each of the first, second and third layer is made of paper or aluminum, or is made by a plastic film.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- hole 12 could if necessary extend in front of at least one of the two longitudinal sides 11 of the tongue.
- Figure 3 shows that it suffices to grasp the tongue 8 and pull up on it to open the container 2.
- 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.
- 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.
- hole 15 in the third layer has one side just above the root 9 of the tab.
- 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.
- FIG. 6 represents an alternative embodiment of the cover visible in FIGS. 4 and 5.
- the tongue 8 extends in part at above the third layer 13, which makes it grip again easier.
- 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.
- layers 3, 5 and 13 can be in paper or aluminum or consist of a film of material plastic.

Abstract
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.

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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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,
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
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
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
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
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
