Abstract

The cover cap (1) for a sparkling wine bottle has a conical peripheral skirt and an opening strip (2) formed in its upper part. The opening strip is defined by two weakened lines (22a,b) formed in the skirt and extending over its full periphery. The opening strip has pressed in troughs spaced around its length.

Description

La présente invention concerne une coiffe de surbouchage de bouteilles, notamment de vins effervescents, tels que du champagne ou autres, et plus particulièrement un perfectionnement relatif à ses moyens d'ouverture.The present invention relates to an overcapping cap bottles, especially sparkling wines, such as champagne or others, and more particularly an improvement relating to its means opening.

Les vins effervescents tels que du champagne sont mis en bouteilles fermées par des bouchons souvent dotés de muselets garantissant la tenue du bouchon et la fermeture de la bouteille même en cas de surpression accidentelle.Sparkling wines such as champagne are bottles closed by stoppers often equipped with wire caps guaranteeing the holding of the stopper and the closing of the bottle even in accidental overpressure.

L'extrémité de la bouteille est, dans ce cas, protégée par une coiffe qui entoure le bouchon muni de son muselet, ladite coiffe recouvrant, par ailleurs, la partie supérieure de la bouteille. Ladite coiffe est principalement constituée d'une jupe de forme conique et généralement réalisée dans une feuille d'aluminium qui est déformée autour de l'extrémité de la bouteille. L'ouverture de la coiffe doit donc dégager proprement le muselet pour permettre son enlèvement, avec le bouchon.The end of the bottle is, in this case, protected by a cap which surrounds the cap provided with its muselet, said cap covering, by elsewhere, the top of the bottle. Said headdress is mainly consisting of a conical skirt and generally made of aluminum foil which is deformed around the end of the bottle. The opening of the cap must therefore clear cleanly the muselet to allow its removal, with the stopper.

Il existe déjà des coiffes à ouverture facile. Certaines comportent une bandelette de déchirement appelée « tircell », et d'autres comportent une simple bandelette d'ouverture limitée par deux lignes d'affaiblissement.There are already easy-opening caps. Some include a tear strip called "tircell", and others have a simple opening strip limited by two lines weakening.

Les coiffes existantes, même si elles sont déjà perfectionnées, présentent un certain nombre d'inconvénients au niveau de la facilité d'utilisation, et conduisent le plus souvent lors de l'ouverture à des plis ou à des déchirures intempestives, les coiffes étant à base de feuilles ou films d'épaisseurs relativement faibles.Existing caps, even if they are already perfected, have a number of disadvantages in terms of ease of use, and most often lead when opening to folds or untimely tears, the caps being made from sheets or films relatively small thicknesses.

L'invention se propose de résoudre ces inconvénients grâce à des moyens simples, fiables, faciles à mettre en oeuvre et peu onéreux, pour ainsi permettre à l'utilisateur d'enlever et de détacher la partie haute de la partie basse de ladite coiffe, qui doit rester sur la bouteille, et plus particulièrement recouvrire la partie du col de la bouteille située au-dessous du muselet, voire de la bague de verrerie, de manière à conserver sur la bouteille le maximum de coiffe avec son aspect esthétique, non altérée, tout en permettant l'enlèvement du muselet.The invention proposes to resolve these drawbacks by means of simple, reliable, easy to implement and inexpensive means for thus allow the user to remove and detach the upper part of the lower part of said cap, which must remain on the bottle, and more particularly cover the part of the neck of the bottle located below the wire, or even the glass ring, so that keep the maximum cap on the bottle with its aesthetic appearance, not altered, while allowing the removal of the muselet.

Ainsi, selon l'invention, la coiffe à ouverture facile pour récipient ou bouteilles notamment de vins effervescents, du type comprenant une jupe conique périphérique, comprenant, dans sa partie supérieure, une bandelette d'ouverture délimitée par deux lignes d'affaiblissement, est caractérisée en ce que la bandelette d'ouverture comprend une bandelette de déchirement du type « tircell », disposée entre les deux lignes d'affaiblissement.Thus, according to the invention, the easy opening cap for container or bottles in particular of sparkling wines, of the type comprising a peripheral conical skirt, comprising, in its upper part, a opening strip delimited by two lines of weakness, is characterized in that the opening strip comprises a strip "tircell" type tear between the two lines weakening.

Selon une caractéristique complémentaire, le « tircell » est d'une longueur telle qu'il fait au moins le tour de ladite périphérie de la bouteille, tandis que sa longueur est supérieure à la longueur de la bandelette d'ouverture, afin que son extrémité fasse saillie au-delà de la bandelette d'ouverture, pour constituer une zone de préhension pour l'utilisateur qui, par traction et déplacement périphérique, va entraíner dans son déplacement la bandelette d'ouverture et donc son déchirement grâce aux lignes d'affaiblissement.According to an additional characteristic, the "tircell" is of a length such that it goes at least around said periphery of the bottle, while its length is greater than the length of the opening strip, so that its end protrudes beyond the opening strip, to constitute a grip zone for the user who, by traction and peripheral displacement, will train in its movement the opening strip and therefore its tearing thanks to the weakening lines.

Selon une autre caractéristique, les deux lignes d'affaiblissement sont parallèles et s'étendent sensiblement horizontalement, tandis que la bandelette de déchirement de type « tircell » est située sensiblement à égale distance de chacune des lignes d'affaiblissement.According to another characteristic, the two weakening lines are parallel and extend substantially horizontally, while the tircell type tear strip is located substantially at equal distance from each of the weakening lines.

Selon le mode de réalisation préféré, la bandelette de déchirement de type « tircell » s'étend horizontalement et la ligne basse d'affaiblissement est disposée sous la bague de verrerie, tandis que la ligne haute d'affaiblissement est disposée au-dessus du sommet du goulot de la bouteille.According to the preferred embodiment, the tear strip "tircell" type extends horizontally and the bottom line weakening is arranged under the glass ring, while the line high attenuation is arranged above the top of the neck of the bottle.

    • L'invention concerne une coiffe (1) à ouverture facile pour bouteille (3) de vin effervescent. Ladite coiffe (1) est réalisée, de façon connue ne soi, par une feuille de matériau déformable plus ou moins fin, tel qu'une feuille métallique, par exemple, en aluminium ou en plastique, ou un complexe métallo-plastique à base d'aluminium, c'est-à-dire une feuille bicouche, voire multicouche comprenant ces deux matériaux. Bien entendu, la coiffe (1) de l'invention peut être faite dans tout type de matériau.The invention relates to a cap (1) with easy opening for bottle (3) of sparkling wine. Said cap (1) is made so known only by a sheet of more or less fine deformable material, such as a metallic foil, for example, aluminum or plastic, or an aluminum-based metallo-plastic complex, i.e. a bilayer or even multilayer sheet comprising these two materials. Well understood, the cap (1) of the invention can be made in any type of material.

    De façon connue en soi, la coiffe (1) pour bouteille (3) de vins effervescents ou autres, est constituée de deux parties, à savoir, d'une tête (8) et d'une jupe (4).In a manner known per se, the cap (1) for a bottle (3) of wines sparkling or otherwise, is made up of two parts, namely, a head (8) and a skirt (4).

    La tête (8) a la forme d'une pastille ronde recouvrant le sommet du bouchon (5), tandis que la jupe (4) a une forme conique de révolution et s'étend vers la bas par une partie basse (4a) qui s'étend sous la bague de verrerie (7), tandis que la partie haute (4b) recouvre la zone située au-dessus du rebord inférieur de la bague de verrerie.The head (8) has the shape of a round patch covering the top of the plug (5), while the skirt (4) has a conical shape of revolution and extends downwards through a lower part (4a) which extends under the ring of glassware (7), while the upper part (4b) covers the area above the bottom edge of the glass ring.

    La partie haute (4b) comprend des moyens d'ouverture faciles permettant de ne pas endommager la partie basse (4a) de la jupe (4) de la coiffe (1) qui est destinée à rester sur la bouteille (3) dans un souci d'esthétique, tandis que l'ouverture de la partie haute (1b) permet d'accéder et de libérer le bouchon (5) avec le muselet (6).The upper part (4b) includes easy opening means allowing not to damage the lower part (4a) of the skirt (4) of the cap (1) which is intended to remain on the bottle (3) for the sake of aesthetic, while the opening of the upper part (1b) allows access and release the plug (5) with the wire cap (6).

    Selon l'invention, la jupe (4) de la coiffe comprend une bandelette d'ouverture (2) constituant une partie à détacher du reste de la coiffe (1) de hauteur (H) déterminée par la distance entre le dessous de la bague de verrerie (7) et le sommet (10) de la bouteille.According to the invention, the skirt (4) of the cap comprises a strip opening (2) constituting a part to be detached from the rest of the cap (1) of height (H) determined by the distance between the underside of the ring glassware (7) and the top (10) of the bottle.

    La bandelette d'ouverture (2) est délimitée par deux lignes d'affaiblissement (22a, 22b) aménagées sur la coiffe (1), et plus précisément sur sa jupe, et notamment sa partie haute (4b), à savoir, une ligne haute d'affaiblissement (22a) et une ligne basse d'affaiblissement (22b). Ces lignes d'affaiblissement sont réalisées, par exemple, par de fines découpes, ou un amincissement de la matière, ou tout autre moyen. Ces deux lignes d'affaiblissement (22a,22b) constituent des zones de déchirure et s'étendent sur la totalité de la périphérie de la coiffe (1) sauf si l'on désire qu'un ou plusieurs morceaux restent accrochés au reste de la partie inférieure (4a) ou supérieure (4b) de la coiffe (1).The opening strip (2) is delimited by two lines weakening (22a, 22b) arranged on the cap (1), and more precisely on her skirt, and in particular her upper part (4b), namely, a high line weakening line (22a) and a low weakening line (22b). These weakening lines are made, for example, by fine cuts, or a thinning of the material, or any other means. These two lines weakening (22a, 22b) constitute tear zones and extend over the entire periphery of the cap (1) unless desired that one or more pieces remain attached to the rest of the game lower (4a) or upper (4b) of the cap (1).

    Selon un autre mode de réalisation, lesdites lignes d'affaiblissements (22a,22b) pourraient être interrompues avant de faire le tour complet de la coiffe (1) de telle sorte que toutes les parties de la coiffe (1) restent accrochées par une bande de matière plus ou moins large.According to another embodiment, said lines weakenings (22a, 22b) could be interrupted before making the full turn of the cap (1) so that all parts of the cap (1) remain attached by a strip of more or less wide material.

    Selon le mode préféré de réalisation, illustré aux figures 1 à 4, les deux lignes d'affaiblissements (22a,22b) s'étendent horizontalement sur la totalité de la périphérie de la jupe (4) de la coiffe (1), et sont parallèles l'une à l'autre. On pourrait, bien entendu, aussi imaginer que les deux lignes (22a, 22b) ne soient pas parallèles. Par ailleurs, elles pourraient être parallèles mais s'étendrent en biais, c'est-à-dire non horizontalement.According to the preferred embodiment, illustrated in Figures 1 to 4, the two weakening lines (22a, 22b) extend horizontally over the entire periphery of the skirt (4) of the cap (1), and are parallel one to the other. One could, of course, also imagine that the two lines (22a, 22b) are not parallel. Furthermore, they could be parallel but extend at an angle, that is to say not horizontally.

    On ajoutera que les deux lignes d'affaiblissements (22a, 22b) selon le mode de réalisation illustré s'étendent horizontalement, de façon rectiligne. Mais, il pourrait en être autrement selon un autre mode de réalisation, non représenté, selon lequel lesdites lignes d'affaiblissements ne seraient pas rectilignes mais, par exemple, de forme ondulatoire, oscillatoire, «en zigzag » ou autres, afin de donner à la découpe une forme particulière, esthétique, ou originale, ou leur donner une caractéristique de déchirure particulière.We will add that the two weakening lines (22a, 22b) according to the illustrated embodiment extend horizontally, so straight. But, it could be otherwise according to another mode of embodiment, not shown, according to which said lines of weakening would not be straight but, for example, wave-like, oscillatory, "zigzag" or other, to give the cut a shape particular, aesthetic, or original, or give them a characteristic of particular tear.

    Selon l'invention, la bandelette d'ouverture (2) comprend une bandelette de déchirement dénommée « tircell » (21), constituée par un ruban de faible largeur du moins d'une largeur inférieure à la hauteur de la bandelette d'ouverture, qui est réalisée dans un matériau résistant au déchirement tel que du métal ou du plastique, ou autres. Le matériau de la bandelette de déchirement est choisi de façon à être suffisamment résistant, mais pas trop résistant par rapport au matériau utilisé pour réaliser la bandelette d'ouverture, et ce, de façon à ce que la déchirure soit bien localisée sur les lignes d'affaiblissement.According to the invention, the opening strip (2) comprises a tear strip called "tircell" (21), consisting of a ribbon of small width at least one width less than the height of the opening strip, which is made of a material resistant to tearing such as metal or plastic, or the like. The material of the tear strip is chosen so as to be sufficiently resistant, but not too resistant compared to the material used for make the opening strip, so that the tear is well located on the weakening lines.

    Ledit « tircell» est solidaire de la surface intérieure (24) de la coiffe (1) et est donc disposé entre la surface périphérique extérieure (25) du sommet de la bouteille (3) et la jupe de la coiffe.Said "tircell" is integral with the inner surface (24) of the cap (1) and is therefore disposed between the outer peripheral surface (25) from the top of the bottle (3) and the skirt of the cap.

    Le « tircell » est d'une longueur (L) telle qu'il fait au moins le tour de ladite périphérie de la bouteille (3). La longueur dudit « tircell » (21) est, selon le mode préféré de l'invention, supérieure à la longueur de la bandelette d'ouverture (2). Ainsi, l'extrémité (23) du « tircell » (21) fait saillie au-delà de la bandelette d'ouverture, ce qui signifie qu'elle dépasse, de façon à ce que l'extrémité en saillie (23) du « tircell » (21) constitue une zone de préhension (23) pour l'utilisateur qui, par traction, et déplacement périphérique va entraíner dans son déplacement la bandelette d'ouverture et donc son déchirement grâce aux lignes d'affaiblissement.The "tircell" is of a length (L) such that it goes around at least from said periphery of the bottle (3). The length of said "tircell" (21) is, according to the preferred embodiment of the invention, greater than the length of the opening strip (2). Thus, the end (23) of the "tircell" (21) makes protrudes beyond the opening strip, which means that it protrudes, so that the projecting end (23) of the "tircell" (21) constitutes a gripping area (23) for the user who, by pulling and moving device will cause the opening strip to move and therefore its tearing thanks to the weakening lines.

    Selon une caractéristique de l'invention, le « tircell» (21) est d'une largeur (H2) inférieure à la largeur (H1) de la bandelette d'ouverture (2) et est avantageusement positionnée à égale distance des deux lignes d'affaiblissements.According to a characteristic of the invention, the "tircell" (21) is of a width (H2) less than the width (H1) of the opening strip (2) and is advantageously positioned at equal distance from the two lines debuffs.

    Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, la bandelette d'ouverture (2) délimitée par les lignes d'affaiblissements (22a, 22b) comprend à son extrémité accessible par l'utilisateur une pré-découpe (26) de forme courbe sensiblement à proximité de la zone de préhension (23) constituée par l'extrémité du « tircell »(21).According to another characteristic of the invention, the strip opening (2) bounded by the weakening lines (22a, 22b) includes at its user accessible end a pre-cut (26) curved in shape substantially close to the gripping area (23) formed by the end of the "tircell" (21).

    Selon le mode préféré de l'invention, le « tircell » (21) s'étend sur le pourtour de la coiffe (1) de manière rectiligne, horizontalement et parallèlement aux deux lignes d'affaiblissement. Mais, bien entendu, il pourrait en être autrement et s'étendre de manière à parcourir une surface plus importante comme, par exemple, en « zigzag » ou en présentant des ondulations, ou s'étendre en biais, sans pour autant sortir du champ de l'invention.According to the preferred embodiment of the invention, the "tircell" (21) extends over the circumference of the cap (1) in a straight line, horizontally and parallel to the two weakening lines. But, of course, it could be otherwise and extend to cover a surface more important like, for example, in "zigzag" or by presenting undulations, or extend at an angle, without leaving the field of the invention.

    Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée aux modes de réalisation décrits et représentés à titre d'exemples, mais elle comprend aussi tous les équivalents techniques ainsi que leurs combinaisons.Of course, the invention is not limited to the modes of realization described and represented as examples, but it includes also all technical equivalents and their combinations.
