Definitions
- the invention relates to a closure device and to a container equipped with such a device.
- the invention also relates to a method of manufacturing such a device and to a method of plugging a container using such a device.
- a peelable seal welded by induction heating on the edge of the neck of the bottle.
- Such a seal must be manually peeled and discarded when the contents of such a bottle are used for the first time.
- This peeling operation is relatively delicate and can be imperfectly carried out, in particular by a child or an elderly person whose fingers have lost their agility.
- this operation requires the user to approach a trash can to throw the lid, except to leave it lying on a table.
- the invention more particularly intends to remedy by proposing a new closure device which comprises a sealing cap welded to a neck before the first use of a container, in which it is not necessary to manually peel the lid to access the contents of the container and whose operation is reliable.
- the invention relates to a device for capping a container provided with a threaded neck, this device comprising a stopper capable of sealing this neck, a cover able to be glued or sealed on the edge of this neck, a sealing disc, on which the cover is fixed, this disc protruding radially outside the neck, and a ring provided with an internal thread capable of cooperating with the external thread of the neck, this ring being equipped with at least one projection which extends in the direction of the disc and which is capable of exerting on the disc a thrust force, in a direction of separation of the disc from the neck.
- This device is characterized in that the aforementioned projection extends, from an edge of the ring, essentially in an axial direction.
- the invention also relates to a container, such as a plastic bottle, equipped with a closure device as previously described.
- a container such as a plastic bottle, equipped with a closure device as previously described.
- a container is easier to handle than known materials, especially when it is first used.
- the invention also relates to a method of manufacturing a device as described above and, more specifically, a method in which steps are implemented which consist in: a) - manufacturing a ring provided with an internal thread capable of cooperating with the external thread of the neck; b) - manufacture a sealing disc; characterized in that it comprises steps consisting in: c) - providing the ring, on its external radial surface, with reliefs; d) - providing the ring with at least one projection extending from an edge of this ring, essentially in an axial direction; e) - make a cap capable of covering the neck and the ring screwed onto this neck; f) - providing this cap, on its internal radial surface, with reliefs; g) - insert the sealing disc into the cap; h) - introduce the ring into the cap while engaging the reliefs, provided respectively on the external radial surface of the ring and on the internal radial surface of the cap, by directing the projections towards said disc and by blocking said disc in
- step f) is advantageously carried out at the same time as step e) which is a step of molding the cap.
- the ring, the cap, the disc and the projection are dimensioned and positioned, so that the projection is able to remove the disc from the neck, during unscrewing the device relative to the neck.
- the invention relates to a method of plugging a container by means of a device manufactured according to the method mentioned above, in which the disc is fixed on the neck, for example by heat-sealing a seal carried by the disc, after installation of the device on the neck.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view, partially cut away, of the neck of a bottle equipped with a closure device according to the invention
- Figure 2 is an exploded perspective view of the closure device of Figure 1;
- Figure 3 is an axial half-section in principle of the neck of a bottle equipped with the closure device of Figures 1 and 2;
- FIG. 4 is an axial section in principle of a closure device according to a second mode of realization of the invention mounted on the neck of a bottle and
- FIG. 5 is a view similar to Figure 1 for the device of Figure 4, the neck of the bottle also being exploded. There is indicated in IV-IV the section plane of Figure 4.
- the bottle B represented in FIGS. 1 and 3 comprises a neck 101 provided with an external thread 111 and with a part 112 whose external surface 114 is intended to receive in support a cover 122 produced in an aluminum-based complex and belonging to a plugging device 102.
- This cover is bonded, over substantially its entire surface, to a disc 121 whose peripheral edge 321 protrudes radially outside the external radial surface 115 of the neck 101, the diameter D ⁇ 2i of the disc 121 being greater than the diameter D 115 of the surface 115.
- a ring 124 is provided to be screwed onto the neck 101 and is provided, for this purpose, with an internal thread 341 capable of cooperating with the thread 111.
- This ring is equipped with three projections 344, 344 'and 344' 'which extend, from its edge 345 closest to the disc 121, generally in directions parallel to the central axis XX 'of the neck 101.
- the projection 344 is defined by a surface 344a generally parallel to the axis XX' and an inclined surface 344b forming a ramp, as is apparent from the explanations which follow.
- the other projections have substantially the same shape.
- the projections are regularly distributed over the edge 345.
- a one-piece plastic cap 125 is provided to be mounted on the neck 101 by surrounding the ring 124.
- the bottom 351 of this cap is parallel to the disc 121 and is extended by a skirt 352 which surrounds the ring 124.
- the disc 121 is arranged in the vicinity of the internal surface 353 of the bottom 351, two circular ribs 351a and 351b making it possible to exert on the disc 321 a localized force F 2 for placing the cover 122 against the edge 113 of the neck 101.
- the skirt 352 is provided with a series of teeth 354 formed on its internal radial surface 355, these teeth being configured and positioned so that they can be engaged with teeth 346 formed on the external radial surface 347 of the ring 124.
- the elements 124 and 125 are integral in rotation about the axis XX '.
- the skirt 125 is also provided with a return 356 intended to engage in an annular groove 348 formed in the surface 347, so that the elements 124 and 125 are also secured in translation parallel to the axis XX ′.
- a tamper-evident ring consists of a part 349 of the ring 324 connected to its main part by a breakable zone 349a, the part 349 being blocked on the neck 101 by a circular collar 116.
- the cover 122 is glued on the edge 112 until the first use of bottle B.
- the disc 121 retains a flat configuration, whatever the tightening force of the ring 124 on the neck 101.
- the disc 121 fitted with the cover 122 can be placed against the bottom 351 of the cap 125 without being deformed because it can be put in place before the ring 124 is itself introduced into the cap.
- the space provided for receiving the edge 321 between the ring 124 and the cap 125 must be sufficiently wide and the fact of making the assembly 124-
- parts 124 and 125 in two parts makes it possible to provide such a space without difficulty during the respective molding operations of these parts, which would not necessarily be the case if such an assembly were molded in a single operation.
- parts 124 and 125 can be produced in different colors, which allows a user to immediately recognize the type of closure device that he has to handle.
- the device 2 is as easy to use as a conventional stopper without a cover, while it ensures a completely sealed closure of the container. that he equips until he has been removed from it at least once.
- the manufacturing of the plugging device 102 takes place by molding on the one hand the ring 124 and on the other hand the cap 125 in their configurations shown in FIG. 2. During these molding operations, the projections 344, 344 ′ are formed. and 344 '' and the teeth 346 of the ring 124, as well as the teeth 354 of the cap 125.
- sealing disc 121 is produced by molding and the cover 122 is glued to this disc.
- the sealing disc is then introduced into the cap so that the disc 121 comes in the immediate vicinity of the internal surface 353 of the bottom 351, bearing on the ribs 351a and 351b.
- the disc is placed in a position such that the cover 122 is located on the face of the disc 121 opposite the bottom 351.
- this method of manufacturing the device 102 does not induce deformation of the disc 121 for its installation, unlike the methods of manufacturing known devices, for example CH-A-556 274.
- the bottle B of this embodiment comprises a neck 101 provided with an external thread 111 on which engages a ring 124 provided with a thread 341.
- This ring is provided with several projections, only one of which is visible in FIGS. 4 and 5 with the reference 344 and which extend generally from an edge 345 of the ring 124 in a direction parallel to a central axis XX 'of the neck, of the ring and of an associated cap 125.
- the ring 124 has a geometry somewhat different from that of the first embodiment, but its operation is similar.
- the ring is provided with teeth 346 capable of cooperating with internal teeth 354 of the skirt 352 of the cap 125, so as to be driven in rotation about the axis XX 'by this cap, which induces a displacement of the ring 124 opposite the bottom of the bottle B, this having the effect of bringing the projections 344 and the like in abutment against the peripheral edge 321 of the disc 121 and allowing it to be detached from an inclined part 112 of the neck 101.
- the disc 121 can be placed against the bottom 351 of the cap 125 before the ring 124 is introduced into this cap.
- the ring 124 is provided with an external radial flange 348 adapted to be received in an internal shoulder 358 of the skirt 352, which ensures effective positioning of these elements 124 and 125 relative to each other. Note that, when the bottle B is closed, the projection 344 is spaced from the disc 121 by a distance d not zero, which prevents the edge 321 from being locally deformed by the projections 344 and the like.
- the assembly of the device 102 of this embodiment is carried out with a process similar to that explained with reference to the first embodiment.
- the method of mounting the disc 121 in the cap 125 avoids the risks of damaging the disc, such damage negatively affecting the sealing of the plug obtained. This is important since an aceptive blockage is often sought.
