Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a cap device for holding a cap on a bottle neck according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a cap device for holding a cap on a bottle neck according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such a device is described in the document DE 939 912 C . It can be used advantageously for capping a bottle neck, especially a bottle for effervescent drinks, for example champagne wine.
  • a cap retaining device on the bottle neck which is called a muselet.
  • the cap comprises a plate interposed between the upper face of the cap head and a partially twisted wire. The head of the stopper does not intervene in the actual clogging of the bottle neck and serves only to support the muzzle and, after removal of the muzzle, gripping means for unclogging.
  • the wire cap comprising the generally metallic wire plate and the twisted wire is first assembled as a unitary assembly which can be manipulated and stored before being applied to the head of the wire. cap immediately after capping the neck of the bottle.
  • the wire plate for example a sheet of galvanized metal preformed by stamping, often provided with a decoration by printing, is assembled to the wire of the wire cap by a pinch of the wire similar to a crimping in four gorges provided on the periphery of the muselet plate.
  • a cap device comprising such a synthetic cap plate has so far not been implemented. industrially, especially because of the difficulties encountered in securing the wire with the wire plate.
  • a decorative insert in the form of a coat of arms that can be mounted in a cavity provided for this purpose in the head of the cap.
  • a coat of arms is posed after capping and before the installation of the muselet device.
  • a metal wire plate does not show the decorative coat of arms unless cut in the center.
  • the use of a plastic muselet plate could allow, by adopting a transparent material, to reveal the decorative coat of arms.
  • the present invention solves these difficulties and provides a cap device comprising a plastic cap plate which can be easily secured to the partially twisted wire, so as to facilitate the handling and the automatic laying of the cap after plugging.
  • the present invention also relates to a device for a muzzle, wherein an insert in the form of a decorative coat of arms can easily appear while the bottle is still clogged.
  • Another object of the invention is a muzzle device that makes it easier to fix and hold an insert in the form of a decorative coat of arms.
  • the wire cap device for holding a cap on a bottle neck comprises a partially twisted wire wire cap and a plastic wire plate provided on its periphery with four grooves adapted to receive the twisted portions. in duplicate of the wire.
  • the cap plate comprises on its upper face, fastening means by form conjugation unit portions of wire.
  • the fastening means may be constituted by arcuate grooves of width adapted to clamp the wire after it has been introduced into said grooves.
  • the fastening means are constituted by individual pads for clipping the wire.
  • the grooves and pads came from molding with the wire plate which can be injection molded or thermoformed.
  • the wire plate is transparent.
  • the muselet plate is recessed in its central portion.
  • such a decorative insert is attached to the inside of the mullion plate itself.
  • the cap plate may comprise means for fixing the insert by clipping.
  • the insert is glued or simply engaged in a housing made in the wire plate.
  • the insert may be in the form of a piece made of a rigid or deformable material or a simple self-adhesive label.
  • Such a muselet device can be used for capping a bottle neck, especially an effervescent drink, comprising a stopper having a head portion intended to protrude from the neck of the bottle.
  • the cap is held on the neck of the bottle by the cap device and a decorative insert may be embedded in a recess in said head portion of the cap.
  • the muselet device referenced 1 as a whole, is illustrated on the figure 1 in the position where it is mounted on the neck 2 of a bottle 3.
  • the muselet device 1 maintains the head 4 of a plug whose active part is pressed inside the neck 2 of the bottle 3.
  • the wire cap device 1 comprises a wire 5 of which some parts 6 are twisted in duplicate.
  • a portion 7 of the wire surrounds the bottle neck 2 and bears under the bead of the neck 2.
  • Four substantially vertical portions of the wire 5 are integral with the lower portion 7 and bear against a plate 8, which it itself rests on the head 4 of the cap.
  • the muselet plate 8 is visible on the Figures 2 and 3 . It is made of synthetic material by molding or thermoforming.
  • the muselet plate 8 is circular in shape and has a spherical cap-shaped portion 9 and a peripheral annular border 10.
  • Four grooves 11 are provided on the periphery of the border 10, each spaced apart by 90 °. The width of the grooves 11 is sufficient to allow easy passage of a twisted portion 6 constituted by two metal son 5, as can be seen on the figure 1 .
  • the peripheral edge 10 also comprises grooves 12 in an arc.
  • the grooves 12 are delimited by the edge 13 of the spherical cap 9, as can be seen in particular on the figure 3 .
  • the arcuate grooves 12 are delimited by a rib 14, also in an arc of circle, each rib 14 extending to a substantially flat portion 15 disposed on each side of a groove 11.
  • the width of the grooves 12 is chosen as a function of the diameter of the wire 5, so that the wire in its unit portion can be housed and clamped inside the grooves 12, so to make integral the part of the wire-cage formed by the wire 5 and the plate of the wire-cage 8. It is seen on the figure 1 and on a portion of the figure 2 , how the wire 5 in its double twisted portion 6 continues with unitary wire portions 5a and 5b which penetrate the grooves 12 and are held there by shape conjugation.
  • the bundle device 1 as a whole constitutes a unitary assembly which can be easily stored and handled prior to its use, the wire plate 8 being secured to the wire 5.
  • the muzzle device thus forming a unitary assembly can to be grasped, for example by an automatic machine, and placed on the head of the plug 4, after plugging.
  • the synthetic material chosen may be a transparent material which then leaves visible a decorative coat of arms 16 constituted by an insert housed in a cavity made on the upper face of the cap head 4 ( figure 1 ).
  • Such an insert may be made of any rigid or deformable material, for example metal, glass, plastic, wood, cork, etc. It may consist of a simple self-adhesive label. It can have an essentially decorative function, even an informative, identity and / or security function.
  • the cap 4 equipped with such a decorative coat of arms 16 can then constitute a collector's item.
  • the decorative coat of arms or insert 16 may, in a variant, be placed in the wire plate 8 itself.
  • the muselet plate may comprise a housing 17 visible on the figure 3 , capable of receiving an insert which then abuts on the upper face of the head of the plug 4.
  • the insert can simply be pressed into the housing 17, or fixed in it by gluing.
  • the wire plate 8 made of a transparent or translucent synthetic material, has studs 18 for snapping an insert 16 into the housing 17.
  • the insert 16 is then held in the housing 17 by the pads 18.
  • these pads may be replaced by a circular rib.
  • the insert used is a simple self-adhesive label, it is fixed on the inner face of the spherical cap 9.
  • the figure 5 illustrates a variant of the muselet plate on which the same elements bear the same references.
  • the grooves 12 are replaced by individual clipping pads 19 four in number in the example shown, arranged at regular intervals between the grooves 11.
  • the substantially flat portions 15 extend over the entire periphery of the 10 and the unit metal son are kept tight and secured to the wire plate 8 by clipping between the pads 19 and the peripheral edge of the spherical cap 9.
  • a bonding of the metal wires is obtained of muselet with the muselet plate 8.
  • the figure 6 illustrates yet another variant of the muselet plate, in which the spherical cap 9 has been replaced by a central recess 20.
  • the housing 17 is delimited by a circular clipping rib 21, which allows the maintenance of a decorative insert in the housing 17.
  • the synthetic material constituting the wire plate 8 is transparent, since the decorative insert is mounted inside the housing 17 and can be seen through the central recess 20 .
  • the muselet plate made of synthetic material, transparent or not, can be easily secured to the wire of the wire.
