Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a valve for a container filled with a chemical liquid product.
  • a faucet is described in the document GB 466 425 A .
  • the tamperproof valve according to the present invention comprises at its outlet through the outlet duct a closure wall and removable tamper formed integrally with the valve body at the time of manufacture by molding.
  • the safety standards are draconian in order to avoid any risk of spill or leaking of toxic or dangerous chemical during transport.
  • Their valves or other draw-off devices must not protrude but be set back from the outer wall of the container so that they can not be torn off or opened during a possible impact.
  • valves are closed by a conventional closure device, for example valve or butterfly, and must also include a double security.
  • a conventional closure device for example valve or butterfly
  • these valves are thus provided at their outlet end with a tamper-proof metal cap covered with a screw cap that may also include a frangible ring tamper.
  • the protective cap When using a container equipped with such a valve for the first time, the protective cap must be removed by unscrewing it, then the lid must be broken to release the outlet section. In general, it is a thick sheet of aluminum sealingly secured to the edges of the valve opening by heat sealing. It is impossible to cleanly and completely remove this operculum.
  • a sharp tool such as a screwdriver, which is often at hand, is generally used to tear it apart and thus provide a passageway for allowing the liquid to exit.
  • the tearing of the lid is difficult because of its thickness and can be risky because it requires forcing an opening with a sharp tool that can cause serious injury in case of clumsiness.
  • seal residues may also be subject to deposition of impurities and products which may deteriorate in the air or mildew over time or deposits of dirt that become encrusted.
  • These elements present at the outlet of the faucet can in turn generate problems of contamination of the chemical contained in the container as it flows through the end of the faucet.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a tank tap or chemical container having a seal tamper at its end, which can be removed completely and in one piece clean, easy, fast and safe .
  • the manufacture of such a shutter tamper will be easy and inexpensive.
  • the technical problem is solved according to the invention as defined by claim 1.
  • the transverse wall sealing and tamper is molded in one piece with at least the end or the entire body of the tank valve or container chemical. It is extractable, preferably in one piece, by breaking its peripheral connection with the walls of the valve outlet chamber by a simple traction on a tab integral with its body. Advantageously, this then completely releases the opening of the end of the tap.
  • the peripheral connection is made in the form of a weakening line located in the immediate vicinity of the inner periphery of the end of the valve.
  • the closure wall has a tongue on its outer face which allows its removal. This is achieved by simply pulling on the tongue with a tool of the type clamp or other not presenting any danger to the user.
  • the connection link ruptures quickly, completely and cleanly and frees the passage section previously occupied by the transverse sealing wall without leaving debris in the valve outlet.
  • the closure wall Being molded in one piece with the body of the valve or with the front end portion thereof, the closure wall is present from the manufacture of the valve and makes it possible to dispense with the heat sealing of a lid on the valve. opening of the tap. The manufacture of the faucet is thus simplified.
  • the present invention relates to a tamper-proof valve for a liquid container whose contents may be of a dangerous nature.
  • the invention is directed to those known as containers, especially those of large capacity, intended to contain chemicals.
  • the tap 1 represented as a whole on the Figures 1 to 7 consists of a body 2, preferably of synthetic material such as polyethylene, produced by molding, in particular by injection molding.
  • This valve body 2 may be in one piece or in several parts assembled or secured.
  • the valve body can be decomposed into three operating zones, which follow in one piece or can constitute three independent parts: a connection portion 3 of the valve on the liquid container, a central sealing portion 4 with a closing / opening system 5 for example of the valve or valve type and an end portion or outlet end 6 in which a closure wall 7 is molded.
  • the body 2 of the tap is extended upwards by an opening and closing handle 8 which can advantageously comprise its own securing means in order to avoid any unwanted or malicious maneuvering, this means being able to take the form of a seal of inviolability, a rupture ring, a mechanical lock or any other suitable means.
  • the handle 8 cooperates with a series of notches 9 located on the top of the valve body 2, allowing its locking in the closed position.
  • the valve 1 comprises a central chamber 4 in which moves a closing / opening means 5 for example pivotally by the action of the handle, possibly via an actuating rod 10 serving as an axis, centered or off center, with the movable closing / opening means 5.
  • the closure / opening means 5 may be a rotary or a falling valve, ball, butterfly cylinder or other, flat, spherical, conical or other. It can also be centered or off center drive shaft 10.
  • the seal between the mobile closing / opening means 5 and the internal volume of the central chamber 4 of the valve can be provided by an annular seal, a narrowing of the inner wall of the central chamber 4 against which the closure / opening means 5, for example, comes into sealing contact with the adjacent inner wall of the chamber 4, by closing / opening means 5 of substantially greater diameter, or by any other suitable sealing means.
  • the closure / opening means 5 has a periphery made of a material harder than that of the valve body 2, so as to slightly deform the valve body 2 when it comes into contact with the wall side of the latter in the closed position and thus to ensure a perfectly tight closure of the valve 1.
  • valve 11 which comprises an annular seal 12 made of a material harder than that of the valve body 2.
  • the whole of the closing / opening means 5 can be made of a harder material.
  • the valve 1 comprises at its connecting end 3 with the outlet of a container 13 connection and mounting means 14 for example in the form of a suitable inlet 15 with cylindrical or conical end or other, surrounded by a nut of assembly 16 which is screwed onto the threaded end 17 of the outlet of the container with the interposition of a flat sealing gasket.
  • a nut conformation 16 can be made in one piece in the valve body 2 in its connecting end 3.
  • connection nut 16 it is possible to interpose an inverted T section biconical seal 18, the vertical bar of which is inserted between the body of the valve 2 and the outlet of the container 17. , the edges corresponding to the horizontal bar of the T coming to press one against the inner wall of the valve body 2 and the other against that of the outlet of the container 17.
  • valve according to the invention mounted at the outlet of a container 13 and having such a T-joint 18 is shown on the figures 6 and 7 .
  • the tap is set back and not protruding from the outer wall 19 of the container which perfectly meets the safety standards in force.
  • the central chamber 4 of the valve 1 is extended towards the outlet by an outlet end 6, preferably in the form of a substantially straight or bent duct whose section is closed at a given location, preferably close to the exit plane by a closure wall 7 preferably substantially perpendicular to the flow of the outgoing liquid.
  • This closure wall 7 is formed by molding in one piece with at least the outlet end 6 of the valve body 2 and preferably with the entire body of the valve 2 during its manufacture.
  • this closure wall 7 is composed of the same moldable material as the valve body 2, which greatly facilitates its manufacture and decreases its price returns.
  • a disc 20 preferably flat, integral with the adjacent side wall of the valve body 2 by an annular thinning 21 junction constituting a peripheral zone of lower mechanical strength. This constitutes a fracking perimeter which will yield by mechanical traction or thrust on the closure wall 7, leaving the outlet section of the valve 1 free and without burr after quick and complete removal of a single piece of the wall of shutter 7 at the time of the authorized opening of the container.
  • the withdrawal of the closure wall 7 completely releases the opening of the outlet end 6 of the valve 1.
  • a gripping member 22 for example a pull tab 23 which will require the help of a tool because of the strength of the material and the small but significant thickness of the thinned zone 21, it must still be able to ensure the maintenance of the shutter during all accidental or normal events related to transport, storage or handling.
  • the pull tab 23 is made in one piece with the wall or shutter septum 7. It may be a rectangular piece of the tongue type articulated pivotally to the body of the closure wall 7 for example by a hinge obtained by a thin line connection or connection.
  • the outlet end 6 of the valve 1 in which the closure wall 7 is molded preferably comprises a thread 24 on its outer face so that it is possible to adapt a screw end cap 25 by screwing, the latter may itself include additional means of tamper evidence such as for example a frangible ring.
  • closure wall 7 is made in several parts, each of which can then include its own gripping element 22.
