Definitions
- the present invention relates to a spouted precision lid for the closure of a liquid container, in particular for the closure of a paint container
- the spout must itself be closed by a shutter that can be controlled by a lever in order to discover the spout at the moment when the paint is to be poured.
- This spout must allow a precise adjustment of the flow and then be able to be closed immediately to avoid any evaporation or drying of the paint.
- An object of the present invention is therefore to provide a lid of the aforementioned type whose design allows, while maintaining the dosage and precision qualities of the lid, to simplify the construction of such a lid.
- the subject of the invention is a spouted precision lid for closing a liquid container of the type in which the top of the lid forms a sliding shutter pourer urged by a spring of the hairpin type and controlled in displacement by a pivoting opening lever, complementary means being provided between pouring spout and lever to increase the spring force thus biased in flexion and torsion, with a view to ensuring, by means of the same spring, a double action of pressure and automatic reclosing of the sliding shutter, said cover being manipulated by via a gripping handle, characterized in that at least a portion of the gripping handle, the means for fixing the lid to the container and the permanent pressurizing means of the spring are formed in one piece , in particular integrally molded, with said cover for obtaining a precision cover with simplified construction.
- Figure 1 shows a perspective view of a lid-container assembly in the fixed state of the lid to the container
- Figure 2 shows a bottom view 3/4 of a lid according to the invention
- Figure 3 shows a partial top view of a lid according to the invention, all the inserts have been removed;
- FIGS. 5A to 5C show simplified diagrammatic sectional views of means for permanently pressurizing the spring
- Figures 6A and 6B show cross-sectional views of the container lid respectively in the closed and open position of the shutter of the spout.
- the lid 1 of the invention is intended for closing a pot or other container 3 of liquid.
- This precision lid 1 has a spout 2 pourer shutter 4 sliding biased by a spring 5 of the hairpin type.
- This shutter 4 is controlled in displacement by a lever 6A, 6B of pivoting opening.
- Complementary means 7, 8 are provided between spout 2 and lever 6A, 6B to increase the pressure force of the spring 5, thus making it possible to flexibly and torsionally bias said spring 5.
- a double action of pressure and automatic reclosing of the shutter 4 sliding This combination of torsion and bending of a single spring resulting from manual action on a lever provides both progressive resistance to opening of the sliding shutter for optimum precision control of the section. opening, a quick closing by total release of the lever while exerting a minimum permanent pressure on the sliding shutter to ensure a good seal of the assembly.
- the means 12 for fixing the lid 1 to the container 3, the means 7, 8 for permanently pressurizing the spring 5 and at least a portion of the handle 9 are formed of a single piece, in particular integrally molded, with the lid 1, to obtain a precision lid 1 of simplified construction.
- the permanent pressurizing means 5 of the spring 5, ensuring through the spring 5 a minimum permanent pressure on the shutter 4 thus ensuring a better seal consist of either a double bracket 7, as illustrate it in FIGS. 5B and 5C, or of a profile 8 in T, as shown in Figure 5A.
- these means 7, 8 extend between the substantially parallel branches of the spring 5 hairpin constituted by a spring with two branches or strands.
- the spring 5 exerts a support from above on the shutter 4 sliding.
- the vertical branch of the pressurizing means is molded with the cover and extends from the top of the cover, projecting from the latter, to then be extended by a horizontal branch intended for coming from above, on the strands or branches of the spring 5, a pressure tending to push the spring 5 towards the cover 2.
- This lever affects the shape of the a trigger whose branch 6A fits into the cavity is a bearing abutment of one end of the spring 5 pin double strand.
- the other end of this spring 5 is coupled to the shutter 4 sliding.
- the strands of said spring 5 are wound on axes formed at the junction of the two branches that form the trigger.
- the lid 1 is fixed to the container 3 by screwing.
- the means 12 for fixing the lid 1 to the container 3 are constituted by a thread of said cover 1 allowing a screwing of the cover 1 on the container 3. Again, it results in a simplicity of manufacture of the whole.
- the handle 9 is formed integrally with the lid.
- only the upper part of the handle, corresponding to the handle start, is made in one piece with the lid.
- the rest of the handle is made in the form of an insert glued or mechanically coupled to the handle outlet associated with the lid.
- the cover 1 has, on either side of the handle 9, fins 10 for the suspension of the container 3 in a rail 11 as illustrated in FIG. 4.
- the fins 10 are made in one piece with the lid 1.
