  • a plastic closure device comprising a cap hinged to a skirt, itself intended to be immobilized around it. collar.
  • a band or breakable bridges can connect the cap to the skirt before the first opening of the bottle.
  • tabs for constituting a hard point for stabilizing an articulated plug in a position making an angle of about 90 ° with respect to its closed position of a container. In this 90 ° position, the stopper can impede the pouring of the contents of the container and prevent a user from drinking at the neck. If the cap is tilted to its fully open position, it is no longer maintained relative to the rest of the device and may again be troublesome.
  • the invention intends to remedy more particularly by proposing a capping device whose cap can be effectively maintained in the open position, so that it does not create discomfort when using the liquid contained in the container.
  • the invention relates to a closure device for a container provided with a neck, this device comprising a plastic stopper articulated on a skirt intended to surround this collar which cap carrying in its articulation zone on the skirt, at least one section adapted to abut against a bead provided near the upper edge of the skirt, in a blocking configuration of the cap, characterized in that the geometry and the positioning of the aforementioned section and heel are such that in the aforementioned configuration, the cap is locked in a fully open position of the device in which its opening angle is greater than or equal to 180 °.

  • the fully open position of the device is that in which the cap is pivoted to its tilting position in which it releases the most access to the rest of the device and the neck of the container.
  • This fully open position corresponds to an opening angle of the cap greater than or equal to 180 °.
  • the cap is released from the neck when pouring a liquid contained in the container or when a person wants to drink from the bottle.
  • the stability of the opening of the cap is obtained without resorting to a hinge provided with a spring, such hinge being significantly more complicated and more difficult to mold than the mechanism of the invention.
  • the device incorporates one or more of the following features:
  • the aforementioned section of the plug is formed between two elastic strips which form a hinge and connect the plug and the skirt.
  • two sections are provided on the cap to bear against a heel, these sections being distributed on either side of an elastic strip forming a hinge and connecting the cap and the skirt. In all cases, the support of the cap section on the heel can be obtained by an elastic force exerted by the slats.
  • the heel may be formed by a portion of the upper edge of the neck.
  • the heel may be formed by a one-piece tongue with the skirt and extending upwards from its upper edge.
  • this tongue may come into abutment, under the effect of a force exerted by the aforementioned section of the plug, against the radial outer surface of the neck and transmit to this section a reaction force generated by the neck.
  • Such a cap may have a convex outer shape to give it a satisfactory aesthetic appearance and prevent the accumulation of liquid or dirt on its upper surface.
  • a cap When such a cap has been opened, it is sometimes difficult to fold to its closed position of the neck of the container because the fingers of a user slide on the edge of the cap opposite its hinge area on the skirt.
  • it is often necessary to close a bottle with both hands, holding the neck of the bottle with one hand, while exercising with the other hand a closing force of the closure device.
  • the cap has a convex outer surface on the greater part of its surface, while this outer face is provided with a concave depression arranged substantially opposite the zone. articulation of the cap on the skirt.
  • the depression formed on the outer face of the plug is a receiving zone of the end of a finger of a user, which allows to exert an effective effort to fold the cap, limiting the risk that the finger of the user slips relative to the outer surface of the plug.
  • the surface state of the depression is different from the surface state of the convex portion of the outer face of the plug.
  • the depression has a rougher surface than the convex portion.
  • the coefficient of friction of the user's finger with this depression is relatively high, which further limits the risk of slippage.
  • the depression is advantageously connected to an upper face of a nose projecting radially from the edge of the cap, this nose to exert on the cap a force of opening of the device.
