Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for sealing off the orifice of containers and the treatment for purifying the ambient air therein by means of opening-closing cycles, these containers being intended to package sensitive products. to gaseous pollutants found in this ambient air.
- the invention relates more particularly to a device for sealing off the access port of containers and for purifying the ambient air therein by means of opening and closing cycles, these containers being intended for the packaging of products sensitive to gaseous pollutants.
- This sealed obturation and purification treatment device is composed, according to a new combination of means known or not:
- the sealing shutter and purification treatment device being made of thermoplastic materials by the means of plastics, in one piece.
- the gaseous pollutants which may be present in the ambient air in the sealed containers for packaging sensitive products can be, for example, water vapor, oxygen (0 2 ), ammonia ( NH 3 ), alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, sulfur dioxide (S0), hydrofluoric acid (H 2 S), mercaptans, alkenes including in particular ethylene, alkynes, carbon dioxide carbon (C0 2 ), carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (N0 2 ), alkanes including in particular methane (CH 4 ), halogens including in particular fluorine, bacteria suspended in l ambient air and others.
- water vapor oxygen (0 2 ), ammonia ( NH 3 ), alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, sulfur dioxide (S0), hydrofluoric acid (H 2 S), mercaptans, alkenes including in particular ethylene, alkynes, carbon dioxide carbon (C0 2 ), carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (N0 2 ), alkanes including in particular methane
- the products sensitive to gaseous pollutants present in the ambient air can be defined as being: materials in the solid state, appearing in forms as diverse as pulverulent, granular, compressed, in particular for effervescent products, sugar-coated or agglomerated, and drunk objects which may appear in various forms, in particular oblong.

- Objects sensitive to pollutants, to be packaged in a sealed container are in particular oblong in shape, have a substantially polygonal, circular, elliptical, elongated section and are consumable.
- Such objects are in particular tongues, test strips or rigid strips used for example for diagnostic or control purposes in the medical field, dressings, food products such as chewing gum, toothpicks, sticks or other.
- caps to close containers whose essential function is to be desiccant: these particular containers are intended to receive and contain products sensitive to ambient humidity, products which must be protected by creating the driest internal ambient atmosphere possible, to prevent them from regaining moisture, because: such resumption humidity by adsorption could in particular react with said products by reducing their reactivity, causing their mechanical brittleness upon impact, their disintegration or their disintegration in the container.
- Products which are particularly sensitive to ambient humidity are numerous and may more precisely be, for example, test drug materials which are in powdered forms or in more elaborate forms such as granules, tablets, lozenges, objects of oblong shape such as strips for tests or others, including those more specifically which have a particular sensitivity to humidity.
- These desiccant and waterproof containers of the state of the art for the storage of products sensitive to ambient humidity are of tubular shape or of another shape and, provided with an orifice, are closed by a stopper made integral or not of the tubular part by means of an attachment means such as a narrow flexible strip made of a polymer material identical to that of the container and the stopper.
- desiccant and waterproof containers are provided with internal desiccant means which are either a coating or an insert produced by means of a desiccant thermoplastic polymer composition, placed inside the containers on the internal surface of the bottom of the tube and / or on the internal surface of the side wall of the tube, or else a granular desiccant material placed in a special housing on the internal surface of the stopper.

- thermoplastic polymer compositions according to techniques well known in the plastics industry.
- Means for closing the containers and the desiccant containers closed by these means, for packaging materials and / or objects sensitive to ambient humidity, are described in the prior art and are essentially distinguished from one another by their architecture, in particular by the desiccant means used in said containers and by the architecture of the means for closing the container.
- this first type of closure is a plug-cover of the male type connected to the tubular part of the envelope of the desiccant container by means mechanical composed of a ring encircling. forces said tubular casing and a flexible and narrow connecting strip between the cap-cover and the ring, the desiccant container being formed by a tubular casing open at one of its ends to give access to the receptacle zone.
- a document (US P 4,934,556) describes such a closure means and a desiccant container, closed by this means, the closed assembly forming the container consisting of: "a closure means comprising, a cap-type cover male, of a ring for the forced mounting of said cap-cover on the tubular envelope of the container, of a tamper-evident indicator, to be torn, connecting the mounting ring to the external periphery of the cap-cover and of a flexible strip acting as a narrow hinge connecting the cap-cover and said ring, the sealing means being made of a thermoplastic polymer material, which may be different from that of the tubular casing.
- the plug-cover of the male type is formed by a bottom and a descending peripheral skirt called external which delimit a cylindrical cavity inside which is a housing containing a pulverulent desiccant, in direct contact with the gaseous medium internal to be dehydrated.
- the closure means comprising the cap-cover, the strength mounting ring, the tamper-evident seal and a single flexible and narrow connecting strip connecting the cap-cover to the ring constitutes an assembly made of thermoplastic polymer material, independent of the tubular envelope forming the receptacle of the desiccant container.
- This type of desiccant cap-lid intended to close a tubular envelope used for packaging moisture-sensitive products presents uncertainties as to its ability to ensure rapid and complete drying of said products during the opening / closing of said packaging container. . This state of affairs seems:
- cap-lid requires two-way manipulation of the closed container, both for its opening and its closure.
- this other type of closure is a plug-cover of the female type, secured to the envelope of the desiccant container by means consisting of a flexible and narrow connecting strip, the tubular casing, the cap-cover and the connecting means being produced by injection with the same thermoplastic polymer material.
- a document (EP 1 352 844) describes such a type of means for closing the desiccant containers, the closed assembly forming the container consisting of: • a tubular envelope of thermoplastic polymer material provided with a bottom at one of its ends and open at the other end,
- a plug-cover of the female type, free of a descending internal skirt, which covers in the closed position, the wall of the open end of the envelope of the container, the sealing being capable of being ensured by contact the internal surface of the bottom of the lid of the cap-lid with the periphery of the open end of the tubular casing, said cap-lid, being provided on its internal surface with an perforated cavity capable of receiving a desiccant in tablet form and connected to the envelope by means of a link made of a flexible and narrow strip of polymer, the envelope, the cover and the link between the cover and the envelope being a single piece, produced in a single plastics processing operation, by injection-molding for example,
- a desiccant insert formed of a thermoplastic polymer material loaded with desiccant materials, this insert can simultaneously cover the bottom and the internal wall of said enve ⁇ r ⁇ ppe.
- the cap-cover devoid of a descending peripheral internal skirt cannot establish a surface-to-surface type seal with the internal surface of the open end of the tubular casing, the seal can only and apparently only be obtained by contact with the surface internal of the bottom of the cap-cover and the periphery of the open end of the envelope.
- the cap-cover is not particularly suitable for creating a seal between the interior and the exterior of the container, by its very architecture, but also by its flexible connection means with the envelope, means which does not make it possible to position the cover at the time of its closure because of this great flexibility and therefore, the absence of sufficient mechanical rigidity both longitudinally and laterally, necessary for guiding the cover-cap at the time of its closure .
- GB 2 224 309 describes a hinged closure device, that is to say a cap for thermoplastic containers and more particularly for containers having a very narrow, coaxial distribution orifice, intended for the distribution of liquid.
- the stopper comprises on the internal surface of its upper end a tubular peripheral wall having a section adapted to that of the narrow dispensing orifice to be closed, and allowing, when the stopper is in the closed position, to simultaneously seal the plug.
- Said device consists of two parts, the first part being a snap-on cover, pivoting on two hinges constituted by two flexible bands, defining a first axis of rotation, the second part being a base to be fixed on the mouth of a container to be closed, and a flexible and elastic link, ensuring the connection between these two members and allowing the plug to occupy two rest positions, one closed and the other open, located on each side of an intermediate position during movement.
- Said flexible link having a recall function, is in the form of an "S" and is connected on one side to the stopper at a precise point and on the other, to the external surface of the base at another precise point, and this, in a semi-rigid elastic manner.
- this device has certain drawbacks which can result from a form of embrittlement of the material constituting the flexible link.
- the "S" shape taken by the flexible link when the device changes from a closed position to an open position contributes to creating two opposing forces with respect to an inflection point which is situated substantially in the middle of the flexible link. , this inflection point delimiting downstream a convex blade zone and upstream a blade zone which remains concave.
