Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an improvement in the capsules of closing.
  • Certain products in particular cosmetics, are offered in containers equipped with closure caps having a base part fastened by snapping on a neck of the container and a hinged lid on the base part.
  • This last one comprises a dispensing orifice and the lid is provided with a sealing pin coming to engage in the dispensing orifice when the lid is closed.
  • two bosses diametrically opposed are made on the outer surface of the sealing pin.
  • the present invention aims in particular to remedy this drawback.
  • the invention thus relates to a closure capsule comprising a part base and a cover, the base portion having a dispensing orifice and the lid comprising a sealing pin arranged to engage in the orifice of distribution when the lid is closed, the sealing pin having at least one arranged relief to snap into the base portion.
  • This closure capsule can be characterized by the fact that the pin seal has an increased deformability zone, elastically deformable, on which is made at least partially the aforementioned relief.
  • the latter is for example in the form of a boss, made by example on the outer surface of the sealing pin.
  • the wear of the relief is reduced since it undergoes lower stresses when opening and closing the lid, thanks to its location on the area of increased deformability.
  • the invention is particularly applicable to closure capsules in which the cover is articulated on the base part, but the present invention also useful when the lid is arranged to mount itself differently on the part basic, for example by screwing.
  • the dispensing orifice may be defined by an annular lip located at inside the base part.
  • the zone of increased deformability extends over less than a complete revolution around the longitudinal axis of the sealing pin.
  • the zone of increased deformability can be, in one embodiment, defined by a thinned area of the sealing pin.
  • the latter can for example have a groove, inner or outer, which defines the aforementioned thinned region.
  • This last may have a thickness which is for example less than the average thickness peel elsewhere than in the thinned region, for example substantially equal or lower at half the average thickness of the peel elsewhere than in the thinned region.
  • the sealing pin has two zones of increased deformability, diametrically opposed.
  • Each zone of increased deformability is of thickness less than the thickness of the pin between the two zones of increased deformability, especially less than half that thickness.
  • Each area of increased deformability is defined by a groove on the radially inner surface of the pin.
  • the zone of increased deformability can still, in another example of realization, be defined by a tab.
  • the latter can for example be connected to the remainder of the sealing pin so as to have a free edge at the end whereby the sealing pin is introduced into the dispensing orifice.
  • the thickness of the tongue is for example substantially equal to the thickness of the rest of the wall of the pin sealing.
  • the sealing pin comprises several tongues, for example three, equidistributed angularly around the longitudinal axis of the sealing pin.
  • Each tongue has, for example, on its surface radially external, a recess as a relief arranged to snap into the part basic.
  • the dispensing orifice may have a first portion and a second portion of section larger than the first portion.
  • the relief can be positioned, when the lid is closed, opposite the second portion, the contact between the pin sealing element and the wall delimiting the first portion ensuring a tight closure of the capsule.
  • the first and second portions may be connected by a shoulder.
  • the second portion may have a cross section large enough that, when the lid is closed, the relief is not substantially compressed against the wall delimiting the dispensing orifice.
  • the pin and the dispensing orifice can be arranged in such a way that the relief snaps under the dispensing orifice.
  • the sealing pin has for example a length greater than that of the dispensing orifice.
  • the sealing pin can have a beveled end and the relief can be locate behind this beveled end.
  • the relief may for example be in the form of a boss having a substantially spherical shape.
  • the apparent thickness of the relief on the surface of the picot sealing material may be for example between 0.03 mm and 0.3 mm, preferably 0.1 mm to about 0.15 mm.
  • each relief is for example in the form of a boss of substantially spherical shape, projecting for example about 0.15 mm on the radially outer surface of the pin.
  • the base portion may include a mounting skirt on the neck of a container, this mounting skirt being for example configured to snap on the neck.
  • the closing cap is advantageously monolithic, being made by injection of plastic material.
  • the closure cap As materials usable for making the closure cap, it is possible to This list is not limited to polypropylene homopolymer or copolymer, high density or medium density polyethylene.
  • Medium density polyethylene is a mixture of high density and low density polyethylene.
  • the closure cap can still be bi-injected, the sealing pin being made in a first material and the rest of the capsule in a second material, different the first, in particular having a different hardness.
  • the sealing pin can for example be made of polypropylene homopolymer and the rest of the polypropylene copolymer closure cap, or vice versa.
  • the sealing pin can still be made of polypropylene and the rest of the closure cap made of a blend of polypropylene and an elastomer, or vice versa.
  • the capsule of closure may comprise at least one elastic tongue connecting the cover to the portion basic.
  • the relief can be arranged opposite a hinge-film connecting the cover to the basic part.
  • the sealing pin may comprise two superimposed reliefs, in the sense of its longitudinal axis, in order to generate a double click.
  • the invention also relates to a container equipped with a closure cap according to the invention.
  • Figures 1 and 2 show a sealing pin 102 of a capsule of closure of the prior art.
  • the sealing pin has two bosses 100 diametrically opposite, projecting on its outer surface 101. These bosses 100 each extend over an angular sector ⁇ of 60 ° around the longitudinal axis of the pin.
  • the tubular wall of the sealing pin has a constant thickness c in the plane of section of Figure 2, out of the bosses 100.
  • the closure cap 1 made according to the invention and shown in FIGS. 3 to 9 comprises a base part 2 intended to be fixed on a non shown and a lid 3 hinged to the base portion 2 by means of a film hinge 24.
  • the base portion 2 comprises, as can be seen in FIG. 5 in particular, a mounting skirt 5 arranged to snap onto the neck of the container and having for this purpose bosses 6 on its inner surface.
  • the base portion 2 also has a first annular lip X-axis seal 7, arranged to apply sealingly to the surface inside the neck and a second annular sealing lip 8, coaxial with the first and defining a dispensing orifice 10 through which the product contained in the container can to be distributed.
  • the mounting skirt 5 and the sealing lips 7 and 8 are connected superiorly to an upper wall 11 constituting the top of the base portion 2.
  • the lid 3 has a wall 14 in the form of a cup that covers the base portion 2 in the closed position and a sealing pin 12, for sealing sealing manner the dispensing orifice 10.
  • a recess 13 is formed on the side of the base portion 5 which is opposite to the film hinge 24, so as to facilitate the lifting of the cover 3 by the thumb of the user for example.
  • the sealing pin 12 has a tube wall Y axis substantially perpendicular to the wall 14 of the cover 3 and, on the outer surface 15 of this wall, a boss 16 in the form of sphere portion in the example considered, whose apparent thickness e is for example between 0.03 and 0.3 mm, in particular of the order of 0.1 mm.
  • the boss 16 is preferably made, as can be seen in FIG. in particular, with regard to the hinge-film 24.
  • the sealing pin 12 has a groove 19 which extends parallel to the Y axis on its inner surface 20 and which defines a thinned region 18.
  • This thinned region 18 constitutes an area of increased deformability of the picot 12, on which the boss 16 is located.
  • the thickness a of the thinned region 18 is smaller than the average thickness b of the tubular wall of the sealing pin 12 other than in the thinned region 18, the thickness a being for example of the order of b / 2 or less than b / 2.
  • the thickness a is for example of the order of 0.25 mm and the thickness b of the order of 0.6 mm.
  • the sealing pin 12 has, near its free end 23, a conical surface 22 converging away from the wall 14 of the lid 3.
  • the hinge-film 24 is made on both sides of a tongue elastically deformable which allows, by storing energy by deformation elastically, to assist the movement of closing and opening the lid, so known in itself.
  • the dispensing orifice 10 has two portions, namely a first portion 30 which opens out of the closure cap when the lid 3 is opened and a second portion 31, enlarged relative to the first portion 30, which opens on the inside of the closure cap 1, the two portions 30 and 31 are connecting in the example illustrated by an annular shoulder 32 of the second lip sealing 8.
  • the sealing pin 12 is sealingly applied against the wall of the base part 2 defining the first portion 30.
  • the boss 16 is positioned on the sealing pin 12 so that it is then in the second portion 31.
  • the diameter of this second portion 31 is large enough that the boss 16 does not come substantially not in contact with the second sealing lip 8. Thus, the boss 16 is not compressed against the second sealing lip 8.
  • the boss 16 crosses, by elastic deformation of at least a portion of the thinned region 18, the first portion 30 of the dispensing orifice 10, which generates a sound click.
  • the invention makes it possible to reduce the wear of the boss 16 by reducing the stresses on the latter when using the closure cap.
  • the demolding of the closure cap can be carried out with a lower risk damage to the boss 16, thanks to the presence of the thinned region.
  • the zone of increased deformability can be achieved other than by a region thinned 18 of the sealing pin 12.
  • FIGS. 10 to 12 show a variant of realization that differs from that just described by the absence of the thinned region 18, replaced by two slots 42 extending parallel to the Y axis to the end 23 of the sealing pin 12. These slots 42 define between them a tongue 40 on which the boss 16 is made.
  • the tongue 40 can flex elastically when opening or closing the lid, to allow the boss 16 to cross the first portion 30.
  • the zone of increased deformability can be realized in another way, for example realizing the thinned region by means of a groove extending from the outer side of the pin sealing 12.
  • FIGS. 13 to 16 illustrate the possibility of making the pin sealing 12 with two substantially spherical bosses 16, diametrically opposed and protruding about 0.15 mm on the radially outer surface of the pin.
  • the diametrical plane containing the vertices of the two bosses 16 is substantially perpendicular to the axis of articulation of the lid 3, in the example considered.
  • the bosses 16 are made on thinned regions 18 constituting the bottom of grooves 19 formed on the radially inner surface of the pin 12.
  • the bosses 16 snap under the sealing lip 8 when the capsule 1 is closed, as can be seen in FIG.
  • FIGS. 17 to 20 illustrate the possibility of making the pin sealing with several tabs 40, in this case three tabs 40, equidistributed angularly around the longitudinal axis of the pin 12.
  • Each tongue 40 has on its radially outer surface a recess 50 for snapping the pin 12 under the sealing lip 8, as illustrated in Figure 20.
  • the boss 16 may have an annular shape and the zone of increased deformability extend over a complete revolution around the longitudinal axis of the sealing pin 12.
  • the dispensing orifice may be formed by an annular lip external to the base part and the sealing pin can engage outside or inside this annular lip.
  • the sealing capsule can be made entirely in the same material or alternatively in at least two different materials, as indicated above.
