Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne les récipients à liquide dans lesquels une substance est mélangée au liquide avant utilisation et concerne en particulier un bouchon à conteneur pour récipient à liquide.The present invention relates to liquid containers in which a substance is mixed with the liquid before use and relates in particular to a container cap for liquid container.
Il est connu d'utiliser des moyens de fermeture du conteneur destiné à contenir une substance réalisés sous forme d'un capuchon métallique comportant un joint intérieur en matériau élastique et dont l'extrémité est recouverte d'un film en matériau neutre. Cependant, ce type de fermeture décrit dans la demande de brevet russe 371 167 n'est pas entièrement hermétique et donc peu fiable.It is known to use means for closing the container intended to contain a substance produced in the form a metal cap with an inner seal in elastic material and the end of which is covered with a film in neutral material. However, this type of closure described in Russian patent application 371 167 is not fully sealed and therefore unreliable.
Il est également connu d'utiliser un bouchon dont les parois sont fixées aux parois du récipient et comportant un conteneur destiné à contenir des matériaux variés. Un tel bouchon est principalement utilisé pour des bouteilles contenant des boissons tel que décrit dans la demande de brevet russe 2127700. Mais l'inconvénient de ce dispositif tient au fait que le conteneur est fermé, les matériaux contenus pouvant en être sortis seulement lorsque le moyen de fermeture a été retiré.It is also known to use a plug whose walls are attached to the walls of the container and having a container intended to contain various materials. Such cap is mainly used for bottles containing drinks as described in the request for Russian patent 2127700. But the disadvantage of this device because the container is closed, the materials content that can be output only when the means of closure has been removed.
Le but de l'invention est donc de fournir un bouchon à conteneur pour récipient à liquide qui remédie aux inconvénients mentionnés ci-dessus.The object of the invention is therefore to provide a stopper for container for liquid container which remedies disadvantages mentioned above.
L'objet de l'invention est ainsi un bouchon pour récipient à liquide comprenant un conteneur destiné à contenir une substance devant être mélangée au liquide se trouvant dans le récipient avant son utilisation et comprenant une partie fixe et une partie mobile autour d'une charnière solidaire de la partie fixe, la partie mobile comportant essentiellement un conteneur dans lequel se trouve la substance, le conteneur comportant au moins un évidement dans une de ses parois et pouvant prendre deux positions, une première position dans laquelle l'évidement est obstrué par une paroi de la partie fixe et une deuxième position obtenue après rotation de la partie mobile autour de la charnière et dans laquelle la substance est versée dans le récipient du fait que l'évidement n'est plus obstrué par la paroi de la partie fixe.The object of the invention is thus a stopper for liquid container comprising a container for containing a substance to be mixed with the liquid in the container before use and comprising a part fixed and a mobile part around a hinge integral with the fixed part, the mobile part essentially comprising a container in which the substance is located, the container comprising at least one recess in one of its walls and can take two positions, a first position in which the recess is obstructed by a wall of the part fixed and a second position obtained after rotation of the movable part around the hinge and in which the substance is poured into the container because the recess is no longer obstructed by the wall of the fixed part.
Les buts, objets et avantages de l'invention apparaítront
plus clairement à la lecture de la description qui suit faite
en référence aux dessins dans lesquels :
En référence aux figures 1 et 2 qui représentent un mode
de réalisation préféré de l'invention, le bouchon à conteneur
selon l'invention comporte un corps 10 de forme générale
cylindrique adaptée pour que le bouchon ferme hermétiquement
un récipient tel qu'une bouteille. Il est formé de deux
parties, une partie fixe avec une plaque supérieure fixe 12 et
une partie mobile dont la partie supérieure est un capuchon
mobile 14 comportant un élément saillant 16 permettant de
faire pivoter le capuchon 14 vers le haut autour d'une
charnière 18 comme décrit ci-dessous.With reference to Figures 1 and 2 which represent a mode
preferred embodiment of the invention, the container cap
according to the invention comprises a
La partie mobile pouvant pivoter autour de la charnière
18 se compose, en dehors du capuchon 14, d'une partie
sphérique 20 qui constitue le conteneur et qui est représentée
en coupe sur la figure 3. La partie sphérique 20 a un rayon
légèrement inférieur au rayon du goulot du récipient de façon
à bien s'adapter à l'intérieur du goulot et boucher
hermétiquement ledit récipient. A noter que le conteneur
pourrait avoir n'importe quelle forme et, en particulier,
pourrait être constitué d'une portion seulement de la partie
sphérique, par exemple la portion située sous la zone centrale
du capuchon mobile 14 ayant la forme d'un secteur sphérique
délimité par une paroi sphérique et deux parois planes
représentées par des ligne pointillées sur la figure 2.The movable part can pivot around the
La partie sphérique 20 est ouverte sur son flanc gauche
ou comprend au moins un évidement (non montré) dans la partie
basse de la paroi 22 de façon à laisser s'écouler la substance
se trouvant dans le conteneur comme expliqué ci-dessous.The
En référence à la figure 4 qui représente une coupe du
bouchon selon la section A-A de la figure 1, la partie fixe
comporte la plaque supérieure 12 qui est solidaire du corps de
bouchon 10, la charnière 18 représentée symboliquement par un
axe sur la figure et une plaque fixe 24 s'étendant vers le bas
à partir de la plaque supérieure 12.Referring to Figure 4 which shows a section of the
plug according to section A-A of figure 1, the fixed part
comprises the
Dans un mode de réalisation préféré, la charnière 18 est
formée par deux tiges se trouvant aux extrémités de la partie
mobile et qui viennent s'enclipser dans deux trous de la
plaque supérieure fixe 12 lors du montage, et qui jouent le
rôle d'un axe autour duquel peut pivoter la partie mobile.In a preferred embodiment, the
Avant utilisation, l'élément saillant 16 de la partie
mobile est en contact avec l'extrémité supérieure de la paroi
du corps de bouchon 10. L'extrémité inférieure de la partie
sphérique 20 est en contact avec la plaque fixe 24 qui obstrue
ainsi l'évidement se trouvant dans la paroi 22 ou la partie
ouverte de la partie mobile, empêchant ainsi la substance 26
de se mélanger au liquide du récipient.Before use, the projecting
Pour l'utilisation du récipient, l'utilisateur fait
pivoter le capuchon mobile 14 vers le haut autour de la
charnière 18 en tirant sur l'élément saillant 16 comme
illustré sur la figure 5. La portion sphérique 20 se détache
alors de la paroi fixe 24 et la substance 26 est versée dans
le récipient à travers l'ouverture ou l'évidement de la partie
mobile ainsi dégagé. Il suffit ensuite de secouer le récipient
pour obtenir un mélange adéquat de la substance et du liquide
contenu dans le récipient. Le bouchon est ensuite retiré pour
verser le mélange ainsi obtenu dans un verre ou autre
récipient. A noter qu'on peut prévoir une protubérance 28 de
la partie sphérique 20 destinée à venir buter contre la paroi
du corps de bouchon 10 en fin de parcours lorsque le capuchon
14 a presque atteint la verticale, de manière à limiter
l'amplitude du pivotement.For the use of the container, the user makes
pivot the
A noter également que dans un mode de réalisation
particulier, illustré sur la figure 6, la paroi 24 a un
contour 30 ayant une forme demi-circulaire adaptée à
l'ouverture de la partie sphérique de la partie mobile.Also note that in one embodiment
particular, illustrated in Figure 6, the
La substance placée dans le récipient peut être composée de vitamines, de sucre, d'extrait secs, de médicaments, ... c'est à dire de tout composé ou ingrédient qu'il ne faut mélanger au liquide du récipient qu'au moment de l'utilisation de façon à éviter sa dégradation.The substance placed in the container can be composed vitamins, sugar, dry extracts, medicines, ... that is to say of any compound or ingredient that should not be mix with container liquid only at time of use so as to avoid its degradation.
