Definitions

  • the caps used in the packaging of products liquids such as beverages and, more particularly, beverages carbonates include in particular a side skirt provided with a internal thread ensuring connection with the threaded neck of the container and connected to an upper plate internally carrying means sealing intended to cooperate with the upper edge of said neck.
  • the sealing means comprise a crown rigid intended to be force fitted into the neck of the container.
  • this fitting creates constraints even in the upper plate, which, under the action of time, heat and internal pressure, produces cracks and / or deformation detrimental both to the seal and to the aesthetics.
  • sealing means consist of a flexible lip intended to be folded back on itself and crushed by the upper edge of the collar cap closing position.
  • this variant aims to fill the entire upper edge of the container neck with a single lip.
  • this single lip does not provide a level tightness because it is not possible to control the deformation stresses of the lip over such a long length, without have wedging means on the inner wall of the plug.
  • the object of the present invention is to solve these problems techniques satisfactorily.
  • said means sealing include an outer shoulder provided in the area connecting the skirt and the plate, having a radial projection and bearing an elastically deformable peripheral lip extending, at rest, down towards the axis of the plug and intended, in closed position of the cap, to be inserted between the projection of said shoulder and neck by marrying, under constraints, at least part the curvilinear outer periphery of the upper edge of the neck.
  • said means sealants further include an inner annular lip elastically deformable positioned so that its end free wife under constraints, at least the inner periphery of the edge upper neck in the closed position of the cap.
  • said inner lip consists or carried by an independent annular element disposed in the cap.
  • said inner lip has a diameter connection to the plate between the outside diameters and inside of said neck and is inclined relative to the axis of the cap of a angle between 0 and 45 °.
  • said inner lip is intended to be inserted under constraints, in the closed position of the plug, between on the one hand an internal shoulder integral with the face bottom of the tray and secondly the container neck.
  • the face of the shoulder outer and / or inner shoulder, located opposite the collar cap closing position has an undercut.
  • said means sealing include, in addition, a centering ring and integral blocking of the plate extending coaxially opposite said peripheral lip delimiting, with said outer shoulder and / or the peripheral lip, a groove, in which the neck is housed, in the closed position of the cap.
  • the face radially outer of said crown is provided, in the lower part, a boss intended to bear against the internal lateral wall of the collar.
  • the height of the portion of the crown protruding inside the collar in the closed position of the cap is greater than the unscrewing dead travel prior to the separation of the tamper-evident band.
  • said lip device is connected to the underside of the outer shoulder.
  • said lip peripheral comprises a first rectilinear section, connected by a end at said outer shoulder, and extended at its other end via a bend by a second straight section.
  • the elbow defines an angle between the two lip sections whose value is between 0 and 60 °.
  • the thickness of said peripheral lip as well as the geometry of the outer shoulder are determined, so that the bearing contact between said lip and the upper edge of the neck is made above the joint planes of said neck, this which guarantees a good seal.
  • the invention makes it possible to ensure reinforced tightness of the container by means of a one-piece, single-material stopper capable of to be produced in a single molding operation (injection or compression), and offering screwing and unscrewing torques relatively weak and regular.
  • the cap shown in the figures is intended for capping containers for liquid products, such as drinks (mineral water, fruit juice, sodas ). These containers can be made of glass or plastic material, by blowing air into preforms.
  • this plug includes a side skirt 1 provided with an internal thread 10 and connected to an upper plate 2.
  • the geometry and, in particular, the pitch of the thread 10, are adapted to the threads F of the neck C of the container.
  • Skirt 1 is extended towards the bottom by a tamper-evident band 11 via a weakening zone 12 likely to be broken by unscrewing the cap.
  • the section of the upper edge B is delimited laterally by a side by an outer curvilinear periphery b (called “drinking") and the other side by an inner circumference b 'generally curvilinear.
  • the sealing means are made in one piece with the skirt 1 and the plate 2, and using the same plastic material, which is preferably polyethylene.
  • these means sealing comprise a radially outer shoulder 4, formed in the connection zone between the skirt 1 and the plate 2, having a radial projection 41 and carrying a peripheral lip 3, elastically deformable which extends, at rest, as shown in Figure 1A, towards the bottom towards the X axis of the plug.
  • the lip 3 has a first straight section 31, connected at one end to the underside of shoulder 4, and extended at its other end, via a bend 30, to a second rectilinear section 32.
  • the elbow 30 defines an angle ⁇ between the two sections 31, 32 whose value is positive or negative and between 0 and 60 °, from a either side of the axis of the first section 31.
  • the lip 3 (and here the first section 31) is inclined with a angle ⁇ between 20 ° and 60 ° relative to the axis X of the plug.
  • the profile and the thickness (between 0.2 and 0.6 mm) of the lip 3 as well as the geometry of the shoulder 4 and in particular from the projection 41, are determined so that the lip 3 hugs at least part of the periphery b of the edge B, above the neck joint planes (not shown) covering, if applicable where appropriate, the adjacent lower part of the curved periphery b.
  • joint surfaces are made up of fine vertical ribs resulting from the container manufacturing operations. Indeed, molding of the container and / or of its preform, and in particular of the neck C, can be made using a mold made up of two separable shells delimiting, between their edges in contact, a very narrow gap where the plastic material can creep and form parasitic ribs. These ribs remain on the container neck after finishing.
  • a good seal can therefore only be ensured when the lip 3 is in abutment against a smooth surface of the neck C, that is to say devoid of any roughness, which is only above the plans of seal.
  • the peripheral lip 3 is associated with a centering and / or blocking crown 5 carried by the bottom wall of the tray 2.
  • the lowest point of the crown 5 is located above the level of the free end of the lip 3 at rest, in its position before closing as shown in FIG. 1A.
  • the plate 2 is provided, in its center, with a set of ribs stiffening radials 7 attached here to the crown 5.
  • the means sealing have an inner annular lip 6, elastically deformable.
  • the lip interior 6 is interposed and crushed, under constraints, between a projection radial 51 carried by an internal shoulder 52 secured to the face bottom of tray 2 and upper edge B of the neck, just like the lip peripheral 3 between the outer shoulder 4 and the edge B.
  • the lip 6 is worn or consisting of an independent element, in the form of a ring or disc which is arranged in the bottom of the cap.
  • the crown 5 delimits, with the outer shoulder 4 and the lip 3, a groove 20, in which the upper edge B of the collar C in the closed position so as to ensure centering and additional seal inside the collar C.
  • the underside of the plate is provided with a ring 21 extending in the groove 20 in the direction of the lip 3.
  • the ring 21 provides the location and the concentration of the support efforts of the C pass, transmitted by the lip 3, on a circular line of the plate 2.
  • rod 21 can be used in combination with the embodiments of the other figures.
  • the upper edge B of the neck C meets the end of the crown 5 first, when it moves ascending, and leaves this crown last, during its descent.
  • This arrangement thus keeps the seal and avoid any untimely degassing and / or any venting detrimental to the quality of the liquid product, even if unscrewed partial accidental or fraudulent that does not lead to the termination of the embrittlement zone 12.
  • the internal wall of the cervix is always protected from attack exterior likely to occur, during manufacture, transfer and bulk storage of containers and / or preforms, unlike the outer wall, especially in the case of returnable containers.
