Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for alternately closing and opening a self-opening container, in particular a liquid container or a container for mixing solid and liquid or a container for a solid product.
  • a device for alternately closing and opening a self-opening container, in particular a liquid container or a container for mixing solid and liquid or a container for a solid product.
  • a container of edible liquids for example drinks such as beer, tea, milk, drinks based on fruit juice, based on tea, based on sparkling water, lemonades.
  • soups, sauces or for a container of foodstuffs composed of a mixture of liquid and solid for example culinary preparations based on fish and sauce, based on meat and sauce, preparations based on dairy and fruit products, jams, honey, or for a container of solid products, such as pâtés, mixed salads, animal feed, etc.
  • These containers have on their upper lid a precut of suitable shape, for example, of round, ovoid shape, etc., which must be opened by pushing from the outside towards the inside.
  • This thrust is exerted by the pointed end of a tongue, the opposite end of which, called the gripping end, is raised from the inside to the outside by the user.
  • the support end of the tongue presses on the pre-cut, the latter gives way and the zone delimited by the pre-cut opens.
  • This tongue is secured to the upper cover by means of a stud.
  • this stud allows the tongue to pivot around this stud, along the longitudinal axis of the stud, so that the bearing end of the tongue can rotate 180 ° around this axis.
  • the tongue present in its gripping end, a recess allowing the user to introduce the end of his finger in order to be able to pull the tongue outwards and thus to be able by tilting the tongue to apply the end d support of the tongue on the area delimited by the pre-cut.
  • the area delimited by the pre-cut can be pushed towards the inside of the container.
  • the tongue is placed outside the zone delimited by the pre-cut, only its bearing end being above the zone delimited by the pre-cut.
  • the area delimited by the pre-cut can be pulled outwards.
  • the tongue is placed completely inside the zone delimited by the precut.
  • the invention therefore aims to remedy the drawbacks of the prior art.
  • An object of the invention is to provide a device for closing a container which is self-opening, this closing device being able to be activated and deactivated several times, this device being reliable, allowing a tight closure, a reopening easy, and inexpensive.
  • This container is such that:
  • the invention further relates to a method of opening and closing a container above such that the following steps are carried out: a) the bearing end of the tongue is placed above the area of pre-cut ; b) the tongue is lifted from the inside towards the outside of the container, so that the support end forces the pre-cut area to open; c) the tongue is pivoted around the longitudinal axis XX of the stud to place the convex closing / opening zone opposite the zone delimited by the precut; d) pressing from the outside towards the inside of the container on the convex closing / opening zone to give it a concave shape; e) the convex opening / closing zone is blocked in the open precut zone 1 so as to close the latter.
  • Steps c) to g) are repeated.
  • the invention also relates to a tongue which can be adapted to a container with an opening zone delimited by a pre-cut.
  • the tongue for alternating opening and closing of a container comprising an opening zone 1 in its cover C delimited by a pre-cut, comprising a support end, a grip end and a tab between said support end and said gripping end is such that the gripping end has an internal closing / opening zone delimited by a groove, said closing / opening zone being convex and having flexibility and elasticity allowing it to be deformed under the action of an external force to take a concave shape.
  • the tab has a tab on the outer edge of the grip end.
  • Figure 1 is a top view of the container lid according to the invention, in the open position
  • An opening zone 1 is delimited by a pre-cut 10 in the cover C.
  • This pre-cut 10 can be opened by means of the tab 4,8 which has a support end 8 which exerts a directed force of the outside towards the inside of the container on the zone 1 delimited by the precut 10.
  • the tilting from the outside towards the inside of the container of the support end 8 is due to the fact that the user pulls hard the gripping end 4 from the outside to the inside.
  • Pre-cutting 10 may have any suitable shape, but preferably an oval or circular shape.
  • the tongue 4,8 is such that its gripping end 4 has an enlarged shape relative to the pre-cutout 10.
  • the gripping end 4 has a closing / opening zone 7 substantially identical to the zone delimited by the precut 1.
  • the closing / opening zone 7 substantially identical to the precut zone 1 is convex at the origin, that is to say before the opening of the container.
  • the tongue 4.8 has a tab 3 between its gripping end 4 and its support end 8.
  • This tab 3 is flexible and elastic and is fixed by means of the stud 2 to the cover C.
  • flexible and elastic it is understood in the present description that the material in which is made in particular the part in question is a material which can be deformed under the action of a certain shape, but which returns to its initial shape as soon as the we no longer apply force.
  • a material can for example be a thin sheet of aluminum or stainless steel, materials which are often used in industry for the manufacture of various containers.
  • the stud is adjacent to the pre-cut 10, outside of the opening zone 1 delimited by the pre-cut 10.
  • the fixing stud 2 of the tab 3 is distant from the pre-cut 10, outside the opening zone 1.
  • Such a displacement of the stud 2 compared to the prior art is necessary because to close the opening 1, a rotation is carried out 180 ° along arrow F1 of the tongue so that the gripping end 4 comes opposite the opening zone 1.
  • the enlarged area or gripping end further comprises a tab 9 which makes it possible to lift the gripping end and thus to open the container.
  • the tongue 4 can be fixed by means of a tab 3 to the stud 2.
  • FIG. 1 and Figure 2 there is shown a container in its original state, that is to say, in the closed state, as it will be sold commercially.
  • the opening area 1 is closed and is delimited by a precut 10.
  • This precut 10 is made by a groove made beforehand in the cover C.
  • On the cover C is fixed the tongue 3,4,8.
  • the tongue 3,4,8 is fixed by means of the stud 2 distant from the precut 10, outside the opening zone 1.
  • the tongue 3,4,8 is placed so as to be parallel to the cover C and not to be inclined relative to it, when the container is closed.
  • the user rotates the tongue 3,4,87 around the vertical stud 2, to make it undergo a rotation of 180 °, so that the gripping end 4 comes opposite the zone opening 1, as shown in FIG. 3.
  • the user then exerts pressure on the closing / opening zone 7 from top to bottom (or from the outside towards the inside of the container), in the ses of arrow F2.
  • the closing / opening zone 7 then deforms and becomes concave. Its edges deviate slightly and the area 7 then becomes slightly larger than the opening area 1, which allows the concave area 7 to be forced into the opening area 1.
  • the seal is produced by the attached 6.
