Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a one-piece stopper for packaging of food liquids.
  • the traditional stoppers used for closing containers containing products for food use generally include a body intended for be mounted on the container neck by screwing or snap-fastening, and a cap protection connected to said body by a side hinge.
  • these plugs are made in at least two pieces separated (e.g. body and cap) with materials having properties distinct. These parts are then assembled together before assembly of the assembly on the container.
  • the present invention aims to solve these technical problems so satisfactory.
  • a plug of the preceding type characterized in that said body comprises a rigid upper part ensuring the holding and locking the cap in the sealed closed position and which is provided with a central tubular distribution element and a flexible lower part allowing the body to be fixed by elastic deformation on the container neck.
  • the cap is provided with an element hooking hook connected to the wall of the cap by means of bridges likely to be broken during the first opening and intended to be housed so irreversible in a cavity in the rigid upper part of the body.
  • said harpoon is carried by a tab made on the lower periphery of the cap.
  • the rigid upper part of the body has a periphery curvilinear raised like a spatula whose profile is complementary to that from the underside of the cap and the uppermost area of which provides connection of the hinge to allow a free movement of the cap without discontinuity of the central tubular element.
  • the cap is itself rigid and is provided a central crown intended to engage in a sealed manner in the element central tubular of the body in the closed position.
  • the tubular distribution element is provided with a veil removable shutter bearing a pull ring.
  • the rigid material of the upper part of the body is made of polypropylene homopolymer or copolymer or high polyethylene density while the flexible material of the lower part of the body consists of low density, radical or linear polyethylene.
  • the rigid upper part of the body and consisting of the upper rim of the body, the central tubular element and a peripheral reinforcement shoulder.
  • Another object of the invention is a method of manufacturing a plug having the characteristics presented above according to which the upper parts are molded and lower part of the body, the cap and the hinge in one piece by bi-injection of materials of different hardness.
  • the plug of the invention offers a one-piece structure with zones whose mechanical properties are different and adapted to the technical functions sought.
  • the plug of the invention allows both the optimization of the manufacturing process manufacturing in a single molding step with a substantial gain in productivity and obtaining a finished product of high quality and increased reliability.
  • FIGS. 1a and 1b represent views respectively in perspective and side elevation of an embodiment of the plug of the invention in the open position.
  • Figures 2a and 2b show side sectional views of the cap of Figure 1 respectively in the open and closed positions.
  • the plug shown in the figures comprises a body 1 intended to be mounted on the neck of a container (not shown) and a cap 2 connected to the body 1 by a lateral hinge 3, the structure of which is known elsewhere.
  • the body 1 comprises an upper part 1a made with a rigid material which comes in contact and cooperates with the cap 2 itself at least partially rigid and a flexible lower part 1b which is intended to be fixed on the neck of the container by elastic deformation, here by means of a snap ring 11, visible on the Figures 2a and 2b.
  • the rigid upper part 1a comprises a central tubular distribution element 10 of the product in the manner of a neck whose upper edge is curved outwards to facilitate payment.
  • the rigid upper part of the body 1 is formed here, mainly, the upper edge of said body, the tubular element 10 and a peripheral reinforcement shoulder 15 surrounding the tubular element 10 and carrying a discontinuous rib 15a for locking the cap 2 by snapping into position closing.
  • the circumference of the rim of the upper part has a profile curvilinear raised like a spatula as can be seen in FIGS. 1A and 1B.
  • the central tubular element 10 has a continuous cylindrical wall and is not necessary to make an interruption or a cut at its periphery to allow the pivoting of the cap.
  • the cap 2 is provided with a harpoon hooking element 21 intended to come irreversibly accommodate in a cavity 12 formed on the rigid upper part 1a of the body 1 between the external lateral wall of the body 1, the upper edge of the neck of the container and the tubular element 10.
  • the harpoon element 21 is connected to the wall of the cap 2 by means of bridges 21a which are liable to be broken during the first opening of the cap by the consumer.
  • the introduction of harpoon 21 in the cavity is made after the cap is removed from the mold at the time of mounting on the neck of the container and is facilitated by guiding the converging faces of the harpoon against the cavity walls 12.
  • the harpoon element 21 is carried by a tab 22 produced on the lower periphery of the cap 2 in line with the cavity 12. After the bridges 21a have broken, the harpoon 21 falls and remains trapped in the cavity 12.
  • the cap 2 has a central crown 20 intended to engage so watertight, in the closed position, in the tubular element 10 of the body 1.
  • the tubular element 10 is, for its part, provided at the bottom, with a closure veil removable 13 carrying a traction ring 13a which are both made here with the same flexible material as the lower part 1b of the body 1.
  • the veil 13 ensures both the inviolability and the sealing of the container and is positioned here below the level of the interface between the upper 1a and lower 1b parts.
  • the shoulder 15 has a constriction 15b of wedging in line with the cavity 12 which cooperates with a lower boss 23 of the cap 2.
  • the shutter element 10 is furthermore provided at the bottom with a flow regulator. 14 in the form of radial fins which break the liquid flow during dispensing of the product.
  • the cork manufacturing process uses the technique known as molding by injection and the materials injected into the mold are, according to the invention, different.
  • the area of the mold corresponding to the upper part 1a of the body 1 to realize is powered, just like the area relating to the cap 2 and the hinge, with a raw material qualified as rigid (after cooling) which is either homopolymer or copolymer polypropylene, i.e. high density polyethylene.
  • the mold area corresponding to the lower part of the body 1 is supplied, for its part, with a softer material which is low density polyethylene, radical or linear.
  • the two materials therefore participate in a bi-injection process and the two parts 1a, 1b of the body are hot welded together according to a precise joint plane so as not to form only one piece.
