Definitions
- Bung and tap assembly for small containers provided with at least one positioning and holding means
- the present invention relates to the field of the manufacture of small flexible containers, in particular for food liquids, and the dispensing valves equipping these containers, and relates to a set valve and valve for such containers, provided with at least one means positioning and holding.
- bag-in- box the distribution of food drinks, especially table wines, fruit juices or ultra-high temperature sterilized milk from small flexible containers, such as plastic bottles, known under the name "bag-in- box ", is generally carried out by means of taps fixed on the drain plug of these containers.
- the taps currently known on the market and equipping the bags of the type "bag-in-box” are autonomous filling and filling items, manufactured independently of the neck. These articles are preassembled or pre-assembled by elastic clamping connection on the bung of the addition with its neck.
- the conditioner before filling the with the liquid liquid, releases the opening of the bung technicallyemmanchant or elastically separating the tap and, after filling, drives it permanently into the bung.
- These known valves which consist essentially of a mounting body in the bung of a container, provided with a fixing fitting cooperating by snapping with said bung and by a liquid-releasing piston guided in said body, make it possible to ensure their function of temporary or definitive closure.
- these known valves which are usually temporarily mounted partially in the bung of the corresponding addition or container, during the empty transport of the latter and until they arrive on a packaging machine, must necessarily be positioned according to their orientation after the filling of the bottles, for final use.
- the present invention aims to overcome the disadvantages of existing assemblies of this type by proposing a bung and valve assembly for small flexible containers, in particular for food liquids, to ensure an always correct disposition on a flexible container of the type further and perfect positioning of the faucet.
- the set valve and valve for small flexible containers, in particular for food liquids which is essentially constituted by a plug fitted to a container and a liquid dispensing valve comprising a mounting body in the bung and liquid distribution, is characterized in that it is provided with at least one means for positioning and maintaining the bung, on the container and in a machine for making containers or bottles and / or in a filling machine, and indexing the mounting body of the valve in said bung.
- Figures 1 and 2 of the accompanying drawing show a bung and valve assembly for small flexible containers, particularly for liquid food, which is essentially constituted by a bung 2 equipping a container (not shown) and a liquid dispensing tap having a body 1 for mounting in the bung 2 and liquid distribution.
- this assembly is provided with at least one means 3 for positioning and holding the plug 2, on the container or further and in a machine for making containers or bottles and / or in a filling machine , and indexing the valve mounting body 1 in said plug 2.
- the means 3 for positioning and holding the plug 2, on the container (not shown) and in a machine for making containers or bottles and / or in a machine for filling, and indexing the body 1 mounting of the valve in said plug 2 consists essentially of at least one flat provided on an outer ring 22 of the plug 2.
- Such an outer ring 22 is generally intended for guiding and maintaining the plug during its mounting on a further, as well as for guiding the assembly further and bung on a filling machine, in particular to maintain the plug at a constant distance from a filling means.
- the means 3 consists of two flats extending parallel to the outer ring 22 of the bung 2.
- the flats or the flats, forming the means 3 equipping the outer ring 22, ensure a perfectly accurate orientation the bung on a further during its establishment on said further by welding and, then, to ensure the orientation of the further in a guiding device of a filling machine.
- the bung 2 is brought to the manufacturing machine with the valve via guiding rails now said bung, then is deposited on the further being formed for there to be welded.
- the means 3, formed by the flat or flats, thus allows, by cooperation of the latter with the guide rails, to ensure a constant positioning of the plug 2 and a deposit of the latter with a constant orientation on the further.
- the means 3 can be perfectly oriented during the entire operation and be held in position by cooperation of the means 3 with a corresponding stop device .
- the valve can be delivered to the machine forming the further being partially mounted in the bung 2, as provided for in FR 2,773,776, to reduce manufacturing costs, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the
- means 3 makes it possible, thanks to the oriented guidance of the plug 2, to carry out a precise preliminary positioning of the mounting body of the valve 1.
- This pre ⁇ positioning of the valve is carried out upstream of the mounting of the plug 2 on the addition or container, so that the transferring gripper of the assembly for the purpose of welding the plug 2 can always capture and transfer said assembly.
- This prepositioning is also particularly advantageous for the filling operation, for example by means of a machine as described in FR-A-2 848 202, the valve then being able to be removed safely by means of a shape gripper.
- the flat or flats constituting the means 3 ensuring a perfectly aligned presentation of said valve, because of the guiding carried out on said means 3.
- the mounting of the valve in the plug 2 is carried out, in known manner, by cooperation of a plug-in sleeve in the plug 2 and is lockable, in the interlocking position, by means of projections 5 to 7 and annular grooves 8 9 cooperating in certain interlocking positions and respectively provided on the sleeve of the valve body 1 and in the bung 2.
- the bung assembly 2 and the tap may be provided, in addition, with means 4 for positioning and holding the valve mounting body 1 in the bung 2, which is advantageously in the form of a on the one hand, of at least one recess or point projection 11 provided on the sleeve of the valve body 1 and, on the other hand, of at least one projection or punctual recess 21 provided in the plug 2, these recesses and protrusions cooperating with each other in at least one mounting position of the sleeve T of the valve 1 in the plug 2.
- the recesses or point projections 11 provided on the sleeve of the valve body 1 can cooperate in at least one mounting position of the body valve 1 in the plug 2, with the projections or recesses 21 provided in the plug 2.
- the sleeve of the valve body 1 advantageously has a plurality of recesses 11 arranged on at least one, 5, of his year-olds nular and the bung 2 is provided with a corresponding projection 21 in at least one, 9, of its annular grooves.
- the recesses 11 and the projection or projections 21 are respectively provided on the protrusion 5 of the sleeve and in the annular groove 9 of the plug 2.
- the recesses 11 fitted to the sleeve of the valve body 1 are provided on the annular projection 5 extending near the free end of said sleeve and cooperate with at least one projection 21 provided in the annular groove 9 near the end of the plug 2 opposite that of the inlet of the sleeve, that is to say near the fixing end of the sleeve on a container such as a further.
- FIG. 2 of the appended drawing shows the temporary assembly of the valve body in the plug 2 in a position of cooperation of the means 4, in which the valve body 2 can be removed from the plug 2 by means of a gripping and tearing of a filling machine.
- the flats or means forming the means 3 allow, in cooperation with the means 4 for holding and positioning the valve body 1 in the bung 2 to ensure accurate indexing of said valve body 1 in said bung 2. This is particularly important when the tap is temporarily fixed in the bung 2 before filling the over, to ensure a precise orientation of said tap relative to the gripping means of the filling machine, intended to disassemble said valve, when the valve assembly and bung is not automatically adjusted in position by a special device during its transfer into the manufacturing machine of addition this setting being, for example, made beforehand during an independent operation.
- the flat forming the means 3 ensures a perfect orientation of the bung and the container, for example on a filling machine, so that the tap, which is already positioned in the bung through the means 4 , is presented in a perfectly oriented manner with respect to this gripping and disassembling means.
- This advantage also exists for the transfer of the valve and plug assembly to the addition or receptacle for the laying operation before the bung is welded.
- the invention it is possible to make a bung and valve assembly for small flexible containers, particularly for food liquids, to ensure one of this set with respect to the container that equips it, as well as a machine filling, and positioning and maintaining perfectly accurate and constant valve relative to the bung.
- the invention is not limited to the embodiment described and shown in the accompanying drawing. Modifications are possible, particularly from the point of view of the constitution of the various elements or by substitution of technical equivalents, without departing from the scope of protection of the invention.
