Abstract

The invention relates to a device for closing single-use packages like bottle or bundle, in particular nestable and recyclable according to known filling modes and inner seal fixation. A sealing capsule can be embodied in the form of several bundle-closing devices whose concept makes it possible to improve storing and hygiene. Said concept is used for a bottle provided with a capsule (1) and a screw centre plug (2). During the use, the inner seal (3) is removed by pulling a tongue (4). The plastic capsule extends by the top edge thereof along the periphery of a flange (5) and is provided with a screw pitch whose height is adapted in such a way that it can receive said plug.

Description

Capsules intériorisées de sécurité Internalized safety capsules
La présente invention concerne un dispositif pour clore les emballages, tout particulièrement à usage unique de type bouteilles ou packs emboîtables, recyclables. La capsule intériorisée operculée permet des progrès en terme de stockage et d'hygiène. Elle intéresse les secteurs de l'emballage contenant un produit à la pression atmosphérique ou sous pression, pour les boissons gazeuses par exemple, pour des produits variés tels alimentaires, pharmaceutiques, chimiques.... etc.The present invention relates to a device for closing the packaging, very particularly for single use of the type of bottles or nestable, recyclable packs. The internalized sealed capsule allows progress in terms of storage and hygiene. It is of interest to the packaging sectors containing a product at atmospheric pressure or under pressure, for carbonated drinks for example, for various products such as food, pharmaceutical, chemical, etc.
Classiquement le bouchon est saillant sur l'emballage et exposé aux souillures. Cette position extériorisée complique le stockage et en limite les modèles utilisables. La réalisation de l'emballage est difficile de par l'impossibilité d'accès aux deux faces du sommet lors de la fixation du bouchon. II est connu du brevet PCT / FR00/00008 une bouteille ou pack empilable.Conventionally, the cap protrudes from the packaging and is exposed to contamination. This external position complicates storage and limits the usable models. The realization of the packaging is difficult due to the impossibility of access to the two faces of the top when the cap is attached. It is known from PCT / FR00 / 00008 a stackable bottle or pack.
Leur bec verseur avec bouchon est sur l'opercule ou sur le couvercle amovible. Ces emballages ne possèdent pas de sécurité mécanique ou contre les contaminations.Their spout with stopper is on the lid or on the removable cover. These packages do not have mechanical or contamination security.
Il est connu du document EP945 361 un container en matériau flexible muni d'un cadre sur lequel est fixée hermétiquement une membrane souple traversée en son centre par un tuyau pour extraire le contenu liquide ou pâteux. A l'état fermé, un diaphragme décollable et pelable est soudé hermétiquement aux bords du cadre et constitue un espace renfermant la membrane flexible et le tuyau dont l'extrémité est fixée hermétique au diaphragme. En tirant sur le diaphragme, on le décolle du cadre et de l'extrémité du tuyau et on réalise en même temps le dégagement du tuyau hors de l'espace et de l'extrémité du tuyau; le récipient est alors ouvert et prêt pour être vider.Document EP945,361 discloses a container made of flexible material provided with a frame on which a flexible membrane is hermetically fixed, traversed in its center by a pipe to extract the liquid or pasty content. In the closed state, a peelable and peelable diaphragm is hermetically welded to the edges of the frame and constitutes a space enclosing the flexible membrane and the pipe, the end of which is hermetically fixed to the diaphragm. By pulling on the diaphragm, it is detached from the frame and the end of the pipe and at the same time the pipe is released from the space and from the end of the pipe; the container is then opened and ready to be emptied.
Dans le brevet US 5 108 003, une canette métallique est recouverte d'une enveloppe couvrant tout le dessus de la cannette et comportant sur sa face intérieure un bouchon qui coopère avec une ouverture de la face supérieure de la cannette. Pour avoir accès au contenu de la canette, il suffit de déchirer l'enveloppe et de la tirer vers le haut, ce qui entraîne le dégagement du bouchon hors de l'ouverture. Il n'existe donc pas d'espace libre entre le bouchon et l'enveloppe qui sont constitués d'une seule pièce. La conception de ce récipient à structure métallique rigide ne peut se combiner avec celle du container décrit dans le document EP945361 qui est essentiellement souple.In US Patent 5,108,003, a metal can is covered with an envelope covering the entire top of the can and having on its inner face a stopper which cooperates with an opening of the upper face of the can. To access the contents of the can, simply tear the envelope and pull it up, which causes the plug to come out of the opening. There is therefore no free space between the stopper and the casing which consist of a single piece. The design of this container with a rigid metallic structure cannot be combined with that of the container described in document EP945361 which is essentially flexible.
Les éléments de la cannette ne peuvent coopérer avec ceux du container tant les propriétés physiques des matériaux des uns sont différentes de celles des autres et incompatibles entre eux.The elements of the can cannot cooperate with those of the container as the physical properties of the materials of some are different from those of others and incompatible with each other.
L'invention permet un dispositif d'occlusion de l'emballage à l'abri des contaminations. Elle se traduit par un emballage dont la capsule et le bouchon sont intériorisés et restent propres puisqu'ils se trouvent sous l'opercule hermétique plus externe. Ce dernier suit la forme de l'extrémité de l'emballage et ainsi peut être plan, ou en cuvette à bord relevé. Il constitue une des parois de l'emballage. Le bouchon est une partie de la capsule, fermant le récipient. Cette capsule délimite un étage protégé sous l'opercule de hauteur variable. Outre la grande variété de bouchons possibles, on peut y loger : deuxième composant, ou tout autre accessoire, poignée amovible, paille, témoins de température, d'UV, chélateurs d'oxygènes nécessaires au contenu, ou encore jeux promotionnels, ...etc.. Dans le monde médical d'autres adjonctions spécifiques sont possibles tel que prise d'air, tubulure de perfusion.... Un deuxième étage, collé, soudé, operculé est adaptable pour des développements spécifiques.The invention allows a device for occluding the packaging to protect it from contamination. It results in a package whose capsule and cap are internalized and remain clean since they are located under the more external airtight seal. The latter follows the shape of the end of the packaging and thus can be flat, or in a bowl with raised edge. It constitutes one of the walls of the packaging. The stopper is part of the capsule, closing the container. This capsule delimits a protected stage under the cover of variable height. In addition to the wide variety of possible plugs, it can be accommodated there: second component, or any other accessory, removable handle, straw, temperature and UV indicators, oxygen chelators necessary for the content, or promotional games, ... etc. In the medical world, other specific additions are possible such as air intake, perfusion tubing, etc. A second stage, glued, welded, sealed is adaptable for specific developments.
La capsule située à proximité de l'ouverture, de forme congruente en « U ouvert vers le haut » renforce l'architecture de l'emballage. Elle est préalablement assemblée ce qui permet de mouler, souder, coller facilement tout bouchon ou équivalent avant sa fixation. Tout assemblage est définit par un moyen tel que collage, soudage, vissage ou tout autre technique équivalente ou association de ce procédés connus. Par souci de simplification dans le texte il ne sera parlé que de moyen d'assemblage.The capsule located near the opening, in a congruent "U-shaped upward" shape, strengthens the architecture of the packaging. It is previously assembled which allows to easily mold, weld, glue any plug or equivalent before fixing it. Any assembly is defined by a means such as bonding, welding, screwing or any other equivalent technique or association of this known process. For the sake of simplification in the text, only assembly means will be used.
Le sens du tronc de cône que représente l'emballage n'influe pas sur l'empilage et le recyclage. Ces encapsulations sont compatibles avec toutes formes d'emballage notamment polygonaux ce qui leur confèrent de meilleures résistances mécaniques et esthétiques ; par exemple de type pentagonal. Cette forme, en nid d'abeille, permet de réduire au minimum les espaces entre les éléments qui vont pouvoir s'imbriquer et améliorer la solidité transversale au stockage à l'embouteillage ; tout comme elle donne une meilleure stabilité lors de son utilisation. L'absence de relief au fond et au sommet dé l'emballage facilite l'empilement en strates. Des emballages pentagonaux obligent à découper les opercules sauf si on les regroupe.The direction of the truncated cone represented by the packaging does not affect stacking and recycling. These encapsulations are compatible with all forms of packaging, in particular polygonal, which gives them better mechanical and aesthetic resistance; for example of the pentagonal type. This honeycomb shape makes it possible to minimize the spaces between the elements which will be able to nest and improve the transverse solidity during storage during bottling; just as it gives better stability during use. The absence of relief at the bottom and at the top of the packaging facilitates stacking in layers. Pentagonal packaging makes it necessary to cut the lids unless they are grouped together.
L'emboîtement vertical voire transversal des corps d'emballages optimalise la phase de stockage recyclage.The vertical or even transversal fitting of the packaging bodies optimizes the recycling storage phase.
En palette des emballages standardisés, encapsulés différemment selon l'invention, peuvent conditionner différents contenus sans que ça ne retentisse sur la solidité de l'ensemble. Ce stockage est compatible avec l'utilisation d'intercalaires entre les rangées de récipients à type de plaque plastique ou aggloméré entre les rangées; selon la technique connue.In a pallet of standardized packaging, differently encapsulated according to the invention, can condition different contents without it having an impact on the solidity of the assembly. This storage is compatible with the use of dividers between the rows of receptacles of the plastic plate or agglomerated type between the rows; according to the known technique.
Le dispositif permet plusieurs niveaux de sécurisation par rapport aux contaminations de façon connue au moyens des: opercules, capsules et ou bouchons. Dans le cas d'un bouchon vissé il est lui-même operculable hermétiquement ce qui octroie à l'emballage un niveau supplémentaire d'étanchéité et donc d'hygiène, supérieur. Le bouchon peut dans un autre cas être caoutchouté et être « trocardable » c'est à dire percé par une aiguille ; serti par un insert métallique ou plastique libéré par torsion. Ceci correspond aux normes d'hygiène médicale. Cet emballage permet de répondre aux besoins actuels de stockage plastique rigide stérile emboîtable et recyclable. Le dispositif selon l'invention comporte au moins un équivalent de moyen de fermeture, intériorisé dans le volume délimité par les parois latérales de l'emballage. De plus ils comportent un autre élément de protection non saillant en surface tel que l'opercule. Il est à base de tout matériau de propriétés voisines au métal ou plastique fixé à l'aide d'un moyen d'assemblage retirable par une languette, tirette ou autre Les dimensions de l'emballage ont été adaptées pour y loger le dispositif et correspondre aux différentes capacités du récipient.The device allows several levels of security with respect to contamination in a known manner by means of: lids, capsules and or caps. In the case of a screw cap it is itself hermetically sealable which gives the packaging an additional level of tightness and therefore hygiene, higher. The plug may in another case be rubberized and be "trocardable", that is to say pierced by a needle; crimped by a metallic or plastic insert released by twisting. This corresponds to medical hygiene standards. This packaging meets the current needs for rigid, nestable, recyclable plastic storage. The device according to the invention comprises at least one equivalent of closure means, internalized in the volume delimited by the side walls of the packaging. In addition, they include another non-protruding surface protection element such as the cover. It is based on any material with properties similar to metal or plastic attached using an assembly means removable by a tab, zipper or other The dimensions of the packaging have been adapted to accommodate the device and correspond to the different capacities of the container.
Le dispositif selon l'invention pour encapsuler ou dispositif d'occlusion d'emballage dont la capsule est intériorisée et sécurisée ou est caractérisé en ce que le dispositif d'occlusion se trouve dans le volume de l'emballage matérialisé par ses bords latéraux et fermé par un opercule en dessous des parois, fournissant ainsi un emballage avec au moins deux niveaux de sécurisation constitués par l'opercule et / ou la capsule et/ ou le bouchon, ou un nouvel opercule hermétique sous le bouchon, permettant de s'adapter aux normes d'hygiène, fournissant ainsi un emballage stérile en raison de la présence de l'opercule extérieur qui enferme hermétiquement le volume contenant le bouchon qui avantageusement recouvre l'opercule fermant le récipient.The device according to the invention for encapsulating or packaging occlusion device whose capsule is internalized and secure or is characterized in that the occlusion device is located in the volume of the packaging materialized by its lateral and closed edges by a seal below the walls, thus providing a packaging with at least two levels of security constituted by the seal and / or the capsule and / or the cap, or a new hermetic seal under the cap, making it possible to adapt to the hygiene standards, thus providing sterile packaging due to the presence of the outer seal which hermetically encloses the volume containing the stopper which advantageously covers the lid closing the container.
La capsule est préfabriquée et solidarisée secondairement à l'emballage au niveau de sa collerette supérieure collée, soudée, vissée en latéro-latéral retirable par une languette, tirette ou autre soudée, collée..... etc ; délimitant le sommet du récipient.The capsule is prefabricated and secured secondarily to the packaging at the level of its upper collar glued, welded, screwed laterally laterally removable by a tab, zipper or other welded, glued ..... etc; delimiting the top of the container.
Les capsules intériorisées permettent d'adapter la plupart des types d'occlusifs actuellement utilisés tels que bouchon vissé, bec verseur centré ou non. Cette conception autorise un stockage facile d'éléments de forme extérieure standardisée sans relief et plus résistant ; et sont compatibles avec un stockage de recyclage par empilement transversal sur la hauteur de l'emballage ou par emboîtement vertical.The internalized capsules make it possible to adapt most of the types of occlusive currently used such as screw cap, spout centered or not. This design allows easy storage of elements of standardized external shape without relief and more resistant; and are compatible with recycling storage by transverse stacking over the height of the packaging or by vertical nesting.
L'opercule et la capsule délimitent une cavité variable. Parfois la hauteur de celle-ci est réductible pour une meilleure fonctionnalité du récipient au moyen de parois libérables par tous les procédés connus : fil coupant... afin de dégager l'orifice verseur pour une utilisation facilitée. Cette cavité peut contenir des adjonctions utiles, témoins, antioxygène,... etc. La capsule est après consommation libérée par un deuxième fil.The lid and the capsule define a variable cavity. Sometimes the height of the latter can be reduced for better functionality of the container by means of walls which can be released by all known methods: cutting wire, etc. in order to clear the pouring orifice for easier use. This cavity can contain useful additions, controls, antioxidants, etc. The capsule is after consumption released by a second thread.
Toutes les fois où l'on choisit la soudure pour fixer opercule ou capsule on associe tous moyens appropriés d'élimination tels qu'un dispositif de fil coupant, déchirure plastique, ou autre équivalent, qui est actionné lors de la phase de recyclage. Par souci de simplification dans le texte il ne sera parlé que de moyen de libération.Whenever the solder is chosen to fix the seal or capsule, all appropriate means of elimination are combined such as a cutting wire device, plastic tear, or other equivalent, which is actuated during the recycling phase. For the sake of simplification in the text, only the means of liberation will be spoken of.
L'invention concerne également un emballage à double degré de sécurité, comportant un orifice de vidage et une partie réservoir, caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte une collerette prolongeant le réservoir et entourant ledit orifice de vidage, en ce que le bord inférieur de la collerette est fixé au réservoir et son bord supérieur dépasse le dessus de l'orifice de vidage muni de son moyen de fermeture et en ce que le bord supérieur de la collerette comporte une surface destinée à recevoir un opercule fermant hermétiquement l'espace compris entre le dessus du réservoir et son orifice muni d'un bouchon de façon à isoler d'abord le moyen de fermeture de l'extérieur par l'opercule et ensuite le contenu de l'emballage dudit espace par le moyen de fermeture. La collerette est rigide et est assemblée à la surface latérale du réservoir ou en est une partie intégrante et avantageusement comporte des moyens de déchirure situés à proximité de son aboutement au réservoir et destinés à éliminer une partie de celle-ci et à dégager les moyens de vidage. En variante, le bord supérieur de la collerette se prolonge par une partie souple reliée hermétiquement à la capsule du réservoir qui se replie à l'intérieur des faces du réservoir pour permettre qu'en position repliée l'orifice de vidage soit en dessous du bord supérieur de la collerette et en position dépliée que l'orifice de vidage soit au-dessus du bord supérieur de la collerette. Ainsi le bord supérieur de la collerette et la partie souple sont reliés d'une part et la partie souple et la capsule du réservoir sont reliés d'autre part respectivement par un anneau de renfort.The invention also relates to a packaging with a double degree of security, comprising an emptying orifice and a reservoir portion, characterized in that it comprises a collar extending the reservoir and surrounding said emptying orifice, in that the lower edge of the the collar is fixed to the reservoir and its upper edge exceeds the top of the emptying orifice provided with its closure means and in that the upper edge of the collar has a surface intended to receive a seal hermetically closing the space between the above the tank and its orifice provided with a plug so as to first isolate the closure means from the outside by the cover and then the contents of the packaging of said space by the closure means. The flange is rigid and is assembled to the lateral surface of the tank or is an integral part of it and advantageously comprises tearing means located near its abutment to the tank and intended to eliminate part of it and to release the means of emptying. As a variant, the upper edge of the flange is extended by a flexible part hermetically connected to the reservoir capsule which folds back inside the faces of the reservoir to allow the emptying orifice to be below the edge in the folded position upper edge of the flange and in the unfolded position that the emptying orifice is above the upper edge of the flange. Thus the upper edge of the collar and the flexible part are connected on the one hand and the flexible part and the reservoir capsule are connected on the other hand respectively by a reinforcing ring.
Avantageusement, les bordures de la collerette et de l'opercule et du récipient peuvent être suffisamment rapprochées pour pouvoir être fixées les unes aux autres, par soudure ou collage par exemple, en une seule opération. Dans ce cas, l'opercule soudé présente une zone de fragilité permettant sa séparation en priorité d'avec les bordures de la collerette et du récipient encore fixées ensemble, et ce de façon à ne pas fragiliser la liaison entre les bordures de la collerette et du récipient.Advantageously, the edges of the collar and of the cover and of the container can be brought together sufficiently to be able to be fixed to one another, for example by welding or gluing, in a single operation. In this case, the welded lid has a zone of weakness allowing it to be separated in priority from the edges of the collar and of the container still fixed together, and this so as not to weaken the connection between the edges of the collar and of the container.
L'opercule et la capsule permettent de conserver au récipient une ouverture totale avec un bord galbé offrant un bord doux modelé dans la portion haute de l'emballage interne ou externe plein ou ourlé et creux, plus ou moins souple.The lid and the capsule allow the container to be kept completely open with a curved edge offering a soft edge shaped in the upper portion of the internal or external packaging, full or hemmed and hollow, more or less flexible.
La bouteille à collet retroussable. L'opercule collé autorisera de dérouler le collet lors de l'utilisation. Une thermo soudure latéro-latérale équivaut à la procédure classique. Le ou les dispositifs de l'invention sont placés: au sommet, au fond sur le corps de l'emballage ou sur les arêtes. L'emballage a la forme d'un tronc de cône à petite section supérieure, donc inversé par rapport à la précédente. L'encapsulage, ou l'opération consistant à fixer une capsule, est réalisé au moyen d'une collerette supérieure à bords parallèles du corps de l'emballage ; ou par le fond; ou enfin par un moulage en un temps corps, capsule associé à un remplissage par le fond. Le dispositif selon l'invention s'applique à des solides. Il est placé à chaque extrémité du corps du récipient permettant de décapsuler l'un puis l'autre à l'abri des souillures jouant la fonction de piston. Les figures illustrent l'invention : La figure 1 montre un emballage à capsule (1) et bouchon vissé centré (2).The bottle with roll-up collar. The glued seal will allow the collar to be unwound during use. A side-to-side heat seal is equivalent to the conventional procedure. The device or devices of the invention are placed: at the top, at the bottom on the body of the package or on the edges. The packaging has the shape of a truncated cone with a small upper section, therefore inverted compared to the previous one. The encapsulation, or the operation consisting in fixing a capsule, is carried out by means of an upper flange with parallel edges of the body of the packaging; or from the bottom; or finally by a body-time molding, capsule associated with filling from the bottom. The device according to the invention applies to solids. It is placed at each end of the body of the container, making it possible to unpack one and then the other, protected from dirt, which acts as a piston. The figures illustrate the invention: Figure 1 shows a capsule package (1) and a centered screw cap (2).
La figure 2 montre un emballage à capsule (1) et bouchon vissé (2) excentré.Figure 2 shows an eccentric capsule (1) and screw cap (2) package.
La figure 3 montre un récipient à ourlet et bord doux plein.Figure 3 shows a container with a full hem and soft edge.
La figure 4 montre un récipient à boire à bord galbé, doux et creux. La figure 5 montre un récipient à boire operculé par le fond.Figure 4 shows a soft, hollow curved-edge drinking container. Figure 5 shows a drinking container sealed from the bottom.
La figure 6 montre la bouteille à collet retroussable avant le remplissage.Figure 6 shows the bottle with roll-up collar before filling.
La figure 7 montre la bouteille à collet retroussable après remplissage.Figure 7 shows the bottle with roll-up collar after filling.
La figure 8 montre la bouteille à collet retroussable dont le renfort supérieur situé sous le pas de vis du bouchon. Le dispositif de fermeture sécurisée selon l'invention comprend une capsule operculée qui se compose au minimum de deux éléments la capsule (1) et l'opercule. L'opercule (3) est le plus externe, fixé en dernier, à la fin de la procédure de remplissage il clôt l'emballage. L'opercule, de plastique PET R ou tout autre matière de propriété équivalente, est toujours présent. Il est fixé par fixé à l'aide d'un moyen d'assemblage à l'emballage secondairement à la capsule. L'opercule protège la capsule. Celle-ci est congruente à l'emballage, comprend une bordure en collerette périphérique relevée qui permet la fixation. Elle est latéro-latérale fixée à l'aide d'un moyen d'assemblage une fois qu'elle est au contact de l'ergot de centrage. Capsule et opercule peuvent être fixés en un seul temps soudés en un anneau horizontal, ou vertical si les collerettes sont adaptées.Figure 8 shows the bottle with roll-up collar, the upper reinforcement located under the screw thread of the cap. The secure closure device according to the invention comprises a sealed capsule which consists of at least two elements, the capsule (1) and the seal. The lid (3) is the outermost, fixed last, at the end of the filling procedure it closes the packaging. The lid, of plastic PET R or any other material of equivalent property, is always present. It is fixed by fixed using a means of assembly to the packaging secondarily to the capsule. The seal protects the capsule. This is congruent to the packaging, includes a raised peripheral flange border which allows the fixing. It is latero-lateral fixed using an assembly means once it is in contact with the centering lug. Capsule and cover can be fixed at one time welded into a horizontal ring, or vertical if the flanges are suitable.
La fabrication de la capsule et la fixation de tout type de bouchon sont aisées du fait de l'accès aux deux faces de la capsule. Elle est composée de plastique, PET R ou toutes autres matières ayant les mêmes propriétés. Le volume occupé par le système de bouchon interfère peu sur le stockage. La capsule constitue un renfort octroyant une meilleure résistance à l'ensemble. L'opercule garantit une hygiène durable de la face externe de la capsule.The manufacture of the capsule and the fixing of any type of stopper are easy due to the access to the two faces of the capsule. It is made of plastic, PET R or any other material having the same properties. The volume occupied by the cap system has little effect on storage. The capsule constitutes a reinforcement granting better resistance to the whole. The seal guarantees lasting hygiene on the outside of the capsule.
Sur l'emballage des moyens d'ancrage, tel que par exemple des sillons d'action comparable à celle d'un joint de type torique, sont parfois nécessaires pour recevoir un couvercle, un deuxième étage complémentaire, ou une enveloppe publicitaire.On the packaging, anchoring means, such as, for example, action grooves comparable to that of an O-ring, are sometimes necessary to receive a cover, a second complementary stage, or an advertising envelope.
Selon des modes particuliers de réalisation les types d'emballages alimentaires destinés aux liquides non gazeux se caractérisent par un dispositif d'occlusion comprenant: un opercule, une capsule avec un bouchon vissé ou encore un bec verseur clips able. (Fig. 1 ,2) Un emballage à capsule (1) et bouchon vissé (2) centré (Fig.1). Lors de l'utilisation on ôte l'opercule (3) par traction sur la languette (4). La capsule plastique se prolonge à son bord supérieur, en périphérie d'une collerette (5) et possède un pas de vis centré de hauteur adaptée, destiné à recevoir le bouchon proprement dit. Un emballage à capsule (1) et à bouchon vissé (2) excentré (Fig.2). L'étage supérieur (6) rehaussant la capsule (1) peut parfois utilement être libéré par un fil coupant (13) pour dégager davantage le collet du pas de vis.According to particular embodiments, the types of food packaging intended for non-gaseous liquids are characterized by an occlusion device comprising: a cover, a capsule with a screw cap or even a clipable pouring spout. (Fig. 1, 2) A centered capsule (1) and screw cap (2) packaging (Fig. 1). During use, the cover (3) is removed by pulling on the tongue (4). The plastic capsule extends at its upper edge, on the periphery of a flange (5) and has a central thread pitch of suitable height, intended to receive the plug itself. An eccentric capsule (1) and screw cap (2) package (Fig. 2). The upper stage (6) raising the capsule (1) can sometimes usefully be released by a cutting wire (13) to further disengage the collar from the screw thread.
" Les petits volumes sont avantageusement équipés d'un dispositif permettant de boire à la régalade et ou d'un opercule recevant une paille logée dans l'espace sous operculaire."Small volumes are advantageously equipped with a device for drinking on the feast and or with a cover receiving a straw housed in the space under the cover.
Les boissons gazeuses (bière, ...) sont plus volontiers consommées dans un récipient boire offrant une large ouverture au sommet de l'emballage et un bord, un col arrondi et doux au contact (Fig.3). La capsule dans cette variante est préférentiellement réduite à sa portion habituellement périphérique sous forme d'une collerette externe congruente au col. Dans sa portion haute elle le déborde par en dedans (11) légèrement pour éviter toute stase liquidienne. Elle se fixe sur la portion basse et externe du col, se libérant par un moyen de libération (13 )à nu le bord doux. Dans sa portion haute, l'opercule est plus solide dans ce cas en plastique PET R ou autre car il n'est pas enlevé séparément. Il est soudé horizontalement ou verticalement au sommet supérieur de la capsule après remplissage et libéré avec elle.Soft drinks (beer, ...) are more readily consumed in a drinking container offering a wide opening at the top of the packaging and an edge, a rounded neck and soft to the touch (Fig. 3). The capsule in this variant is preferably reduced to its usually peripheral portion in the form of an external collar congruent with the neck. In its upper portion it slightly overflows from inside (11) to avoid any liquid stasis. It is fixed on the lower and external portion of the neck, being released by a release means (13) exposed the soft edge. In its upper portion, the cover is more solid in this case in PET R or other plastic because it is not removed separately. It is welded horizontally or vertically to the top of the capsule after filling and released with it.
La portion supérieure du récipient à boire et tout particulièrement le col peut être creux. Un récipient à boire à bord galbé, doux et creux (Fig.4) au moyen d'un ourlet éversé (7) fixé par son renfort inférieur (10) à la paroi et supérieur (9) au bord du récipient. L'ourlet est déployé jusqu'au renfort inférieur (10) en regard d'un sillon de verrouillage (14). La bordure est galbée en haut sur le premier renfort (9). Le bord représenté possède une cavité (15).The upper portion of the drinking container and especially the neck may be hollow. A container with a curved edge, soft and hollow (Fig. 4) by means of an everted hem (7) fixed by its lower reinforcement (10) to the wall and upper (9) to the edge of the container. The hem is deployed to the lower reinforcement (10) opposite a locking groove (14). The edge is curved at the top on the first reinforcement (9). The edge shown has a cavity (15).
Le col est éversé. Il correspond à une plus fine épaisseur de matériau plastique préservant un bord propre et doux pour boire ; autant qu'une large ouverture. Un renfort annulaire au sommet du récipient, facilite le retournement en doigt de gant du col du récipient; le deuxième renfort verrouille l'extrémité inférieure de la jupe externe du col ourlé en se positionnant dans un sillon. La capsule se fixe sous ce sillon par une soudure latéro- latérale au travers de l'opercule. (Fig. 4). Moins confortable mais plus simple la jupe externe de l'ourlet du col peut être moins souple et tenir d'elle- même.The neck is everted. It corresponds to a thinner thickness of plastic material preserving a clean and soft edge for drinking; as much as a wide opening. An annular reinforcement at the top of the container, facilitates the turning of a thimble of the neck of the container; the second reinforcement locks the lower end of the outer skirt of the hemmed collar by positioning in a groove. The capsule is fixed under this groove by a latero-lateral weld through the cover. (Fig. 4). Less comfortable but simpler the external skirt of the hem of the collar can be less flexible and hold by itself.
Un récipient à boire operculé, par le fond (Fig.5). Selon un autre procédé d'assemblage une soudure de la capsule et un remplissage par le fond du récipient. Le fond est encapsulé après le remplissage. L'opercule du côté du bord doux est facultatif sauf si la capsule possède une cavité fermée.A sealed container for drinking from the bottom (Fig. 5). According to another method of assembling a weld of the capsule and filling through the bottom of the container. The bottom is encapsulated after filling. The seal on the side of the soft edge is optional unless the capsule has a closed cavity.
- soit la capsule en couvercle operculé est libérée par un fil sous le col du récipient comme décrit précédemment et fait fonction de couvercle amovible (16),either the capsule with a sealed lid is released by a wire under the neck of the container as described above and acts as a removable cover (16),
- soit libérée et désoperculée, retournée puis emboîtée sur l'emballage sous le collet du récipient réalisant un renfort externe ergonomique et isolant thermique, ou au fond du récipient faisant fonction de pied de verre en en augmentant la stabilité. Une variante selon l'invention concerne une bouteille à collet retroussable. La bouteille à collet retroussable (Fig.6). Elle se caractérise par une collerette (24) plus fine de plastique avec potentiellement deux renforts supérieurs et inférieurs (25,26).- either released and uncapped, turned over and then fitted onto the packaging under the container collar providing an ergonomic and thermal insulating external reinforcement, or at the bottom of the container acting as a glass base, increasing its stability. A variant according to the invention relates to a bottle with a roll-up collar. The bottle with roll-up collar (Fig. 6). It is characterized by a thinner plastic collar (24) with potentially two upper and lower reinforcements (25,26).
La bouteille à collet retroussé après remplissage (Fig.7) ; une pression est imprimée sur le bouchon et le collet qui provoque l'invagination de la collerette à l'intérieur de l'emballage de toute sa hauteur. L'opercule collé autorise de dérouler le collet lors de l'utilisation. Une thermo soudure latéro-latérale équivaut à rejoindre la procédure classique.The bottle with collar turned up after filling (Fig. 7); a pressure is printed on the cap and the collar which causes the invagination of the collar inside the packaging of its entire height. The glued seal allows you to unroll the collar during use. A side-to-side heat seal is equivalent to joining the conventional procedure.
Une bouteille à collet retroussé (Fig.8) possède un renfort supérieur est situé sous le pas de vis du bouchon.A bottle with upturned neck (Fig. 8) has an upper reinforcement located under the screw thread of the cap.
La particularité de cette bouteille est de posséder un anneau de plus fine épaisseur, en matière plastique de préférence, avec potentiellement deux renforts supérieurs et inférieurs situés sur les faces latérales de la bouteille, Le plus haut situé peut être situé au bas du collet du pas de vis du bouchon (27). La bouteille relève d'une fabrication connue avec un moyen de coupure sous le renfort inférieur tel qu'un moyen de libération (28). Après la mise en place du bouchon, une pression est imprimée sur celui-ci. Ce qui provoque l'invagination de la collerette à l'intérieur de l'emballage de toute sa hauteur. Un collage de l'opercule complétera la procédure ce qui autorisera de dérouler le collet lors de l'utilisation. Une thermo soudure latéro- latérale permet de rejoindre la procédure classique. Dans les deux cas l'ablation de l'étage supérieur au moyen du fil, facilite le stockage des déchets. Une autre variante se présente sous la forme d'un tronc de cône à petite section supérieure, donc inversée par rapport à la précédente ; apportant une plus grande stabilité à la bouteille. La capsule, comme indiqué ci-dessus, s'emboîte dans une collerette à bords parallèles du sommet de cône du corps de l'emballage. En variante, elle est « ourlée ». Une fois en place l'ourlet recouvre, de dehors en dedans, l'extrémité supérieure, le sommet, la face supérieure et interne de l'emballage. La soudure latéro-latérale de la capsule concerne ces trois épaisseurs. La capsule dans sa partie intériorisée est identique à celle décrite précédemment. L'opercule est là encore collé ou soudé. Cet emballage est empilé pour le recyclage après libération du fond de la bouteille par un moyen de libération. La capsule peut dans ce cas être recyclée plus facilement. On utilise, afin de ne pas se salir lors du stockage, un sac de plastique recyclable du diamètre des bouteilles sur un support, qui facilite leur empilage tête première. Une fois vidangé du liquide restant, le sac est clipsé prêt au transport. Une autre variante de capsule operculée est adaptée à un récipient en tronc de cône à base inférieure. La capsule à bords parallèles ou coniques congruents à ceux de la bouteille est introduite par le fond jusqu'à son sillon de positionnement au sommet puis collée ou soudée. Une telle conception permet un remplissage par le fond ; qui est finalement operculé collé ou preferentiellement soudé. La bouteille progresse dans la chaîne de remplissage tenue par un ergot situé au niveau de son fond. A la phase de stockage, l'opercule du fond est libéré pour l'emboîtement. Cette procédure permet d'utiliser au mieux l'espace inévitable qui existe lorsque l'on emboîte des récipients et de traiter un maximum de matériau comme vu au dessus. La bouteille ainsi pensée peut être moulée corps et capsule en un temps. Seuls les deux opercules sont à rajouter au dessus de la capsule et au fond de la bouteille.The particularity of this bottle is to have a thinner ring, preferably made of plastic, with potentially two upper and lower reinforcements located on the side faces of the bottle, the highest located can be located at the bottom of the neck of the pitch plug screw (27). The bottle comes from a known manufacture with a cutting means under the lower reinforcement such as a release means (28). After the cap is put in place, pressure is printed on it. This provokes the invagination of the collar inside the packaging of its entire height. Gluing the lid will complete the procedure, which will allow the collar to be unwound during use. A side-to-side heat seal allows joining the conventional procedure. In both cases the ablation of the upper stage by means of the wire facilitates the storage of waste. Another variant is in the form of a truncated cone with a small upper section, therefore inverted compared to the previous one; bringing greater stability to the bottle. The capsule, as indicated above, fits into a flange with parallel edges of the cone top of the body of the package. Alternatively, it is "hemmed". Once in place, the hem covers, from outside to inside, the upper end, the top, the upper and inner side of the packaging. The lateral-lateral welding of the capsule concerns these three thicknesses. The capsule in its internalized part is identical to that described above. The cover is again glued or welded. This packaging is stacked for recycling after release from the bottom of the bottle by a release means. In this case, the capsule can be recycled more easily. We use, in order not to get dirty during storage, a recyclable plastic bag of the diameter of the bottles on a support, which facilitates their stacking head first. Once the remaining liquid has been drained, the bag is clipped ready for transport. Another variant of a sealed capsule is suitable for a container with a truncated cone with a lower base. The capsule with parallel or conical edges congruent with those of the bottle is introduced through the bottom to its positioning groove at the top and then glued or welded. Such a design allows filling from the bottom; which is finally sealed glued or preferably welded. The bottle progresses through the filling chain held by a lug located at its bottom. During the storage phase, the bottom cover is released for nesting. This procedure makes it possible to make the best use of the inevitable space that exists when we nest containers and to process a maximum of material as seen above. The bottle thus thought out can be molded body and capsule in one go. Only the two lids are to be added above the cap and at the bottom of the bottle.
Une possibilité de variante est caractérisée par une capsule vissée à la face interne du sommet de l'emballage ce qui permet un accès facile et répété pour des produits en poudre, des conserves par exemple... Le vissage peut être sécurisé par collage ou témoin d'ouverture. Dans le cas d'emballages pour aliments solides, l'opercule garde la capsule propre ce qui évite la contamination lors du décapsulage. Des couvercles réutilisables clipsables ou étanchéifiés comme réalisé par un joint torique ou un crochet peuvent être utilisés sur l'emballage désoperculé. Il est possible d'utiliser en plusieurs fois le contenant et de l'entreposer au froid sans être obligé de le transvaser ; l'emballage étant de nature adaptée. Les risques de contamination s'en trouvent diminués. Le choix d'un sachet de chélateur d'oxygène sur la capsule et sous l'opercule ou d'un témoin d'exposition à des températures excessives nuisibles au produit contenu est facilement réalisable. Le fond du récipient peut être équipé d'une deuxième capsule selon l'invention et sans risque de fragilisation de l'ensemble, destiné à faciliter par exemple le démoulage (pâté ...etc.) l'opercule est ôté, la capsule propre, libérée, sert de piston.A possibility of variant is characterized by a capsule screwed to the internal face of the top of the packaging which allows easy and repeated access for powdered products, preserves for example ... The screwing can be secured by bonding or witness opening. In the case of packaging for solid food, the seal keeps the capsule clean, which prevents contamination during uncapping. Reusable covers that can be clipped or sealed as produced by an O-ring or a hook can be used on the uncapped packaging. It is possible to use the container several times and store it in the cold without having to remove it. transfer; the packaging being of a suitable nature. The risks of contamination are thereby reduced. The choice of an oxygen chelator sachet on the capsule and under the lid or a witness of exposure to excessive temperatures harmful to the product contained is easily achievable. The bottom of the container can be fitted with a second capsule according to the invention and without the risk of weakening the assembly, intended to facilitate, for example, demolding (pâté, etc.) the cover is removed, the capsule clean , released, serves as a piston.
L'emballage permettant un stockage à la phase de recyclage par empilement transversal sur la hauteur de l'emballage et non plus par emboîtement vertical. Cette variante permet de préserver la variété de galbe aux emballages. Il s'agit là d'une bouteille quelconque. Une fois vidée la capsule est libérée ainsi que le fond. Cette dernière action se poursuit par une ouverture longitudinale de la bouteille libérant séparément : capsule, fond et une feuille de plastique de galbe indifférent facilement emboîtable. En variante, le dispositif d'intériorisation de la capsule operculée, selon l'invention peut être : au sommet, au fond, sur les parties latérales de l'emballage ou positionné sur ses arrêtes en mes plat : bec verseur..., associé comme précédemment à un opercule. Là encore un système de libération de la capsule permettra le stockage des déchets. Le sens du tronc de cône de l'emballage n'influe pas sur l'empilage et le recyclage. En palette des emballages standardisés, ayant différents types de capsules, selon l'invention peuvent conditionner différents contenus sans que ça ne retentisse sur la solidité de l'ensemble. L'absence de bouchon saillant, une bonne solidité transversale, un empilement de type nid d'abeille optimalise le stockage à l'embouteillage. Il va sans dire que ce stockage est compatible avec l'utilisation d'intercalaires entre les rangées de récipients à type de plaque plastique ou aggloméré entre les rangées; selon la technique connue. L'emboîtement vertical voire transversal optimalise la phase de stockage recyclage.The packaging allows storage at the recycling phase by transverse stacking over the height of the packaging and no longer by vertical nesting. This variant makes it possible to preserve the variety of shape in the packaging. This is any bottle. Once emptied the capsule is released as well as the bottom. This last action continues with a longitudinal opening of the bottle, releasing separately: capsule, bottom and a sheet of indifferent shapely plastic, easily nestable. As a variant, the internalization device of the sealed capsule, according to the invention can be: at the top, at the bottom, on the lateral parts of the packaging or positioned on its edges in my dish: pouring spout ..., associated as before to a cover. Again a capsule release system will allow the storage of waste. The direction of the trunk of the packaging does not affect stacking and recycling. In a pallet of standardized packaging, having different types of capsules, according to the invention can condition different contents without it having an impact on the solidity of the assembly. The absence of a protruding stopper, good transverse solidity, a honeycomb type stack optimizes storage during bottling. It goes without saying that this storage is compatible with the use of dividers between the rows of receptacles of the plastic plate or agglomerated type between the rows; according to the known technique. The vertical or even transversal nesting optimizes the recycling storage phase.
Les matériaux preferentiellement utilisés sont des plastiques de la famille des PET R copolyesther thermoplastique transparent, ammorphe, résistant aux choc, stérilisable, exempt de plastifiant ou tout autres matériaux ayant des propriétés voisines de grammage adapté aux contenances. Ce peut être des plastiques avec un apprêt de collage, alumisés, des métaux,...etc . Toutes les fois où l'on choisit la soudure pour fixer opercule ou capsule on associe tous moyens appropriés d'élimination tels qu'un dispositif de fil coupant, déchirure plastique, ou autre équivalent; qui est actionné lors de la phase de recyclage. Par souci de simplification dans le texte il ne sera parlé que de moyen de libération.The materials preferentially used are plastics of the family of PET R copolyesther transparent, ammorphic, impact-resistant, sterilizable, plasticizer-free or any other material having similar properties of grammage adapted to the capacities. It can be plastics with a bonding primer, aluminized, metals, ... etc. Whenever the welding is chosen to fix the seal or capsule, all appropriate means of elimination are combined such as a cutting wire device, plastic tear, or the like; which is activated during the recycling phase. For the sake of simplification in the text, only the means of liberation will be spoken of.
Tout assemblage est définit par un moyen tel que collage, soudage, vissage ou tout autre technique équivalente ou association de ce procédés connus. Par souci de simplification dans le texte il ne sera parlé que de moyen d'assemblage. Any assembly is defined by a means such as bonding, welding, screwing or any other equivalent technique or association of this known process. For the sake of simplification in the text, only assembly means will be used.
