Description

BOUCHON A MOYEN VERSEUR CAP WITH MEDIUM SIZE
L'invention est relative à un bouchon à moyen verseur. Un tel bouchon est typiquement destiné à des récipients (tels que des bouteilles) de conditionnement d'un contenu liquide ou pâteux notamment alimentaire tel que de l'huile, de la sauce, du vinaigre, un produit laitier, ou autres.The invention relates to a medium-pour plug. Such a cap is typically intended for containers (such as bottles) for packaging a liquid or pasty food including such as oil, sauce, vinegar, a dairy product, or the like.
EP-A-O 472 655 décrit un bouchon comprenant un corps verseur incluant un opercule et une capsule incluant une charnière. Le corps verseur fait partie d'une embase incluant une jupe intérieure et une jupe extérieure concentriques venant coiffer le bord du col du récipient, une paroi cylindrique dirigée à l'opposé des jupes et dont le bord libre est légèrement ourlé vers l'extérieur sur toute la périphérie, et enfin un opercule transversal relié par un voile mince annulaire à la jupe intérieure pouvant être arraché à l'aide d'un anneau de traction. La capsule inclut une paroi sommitale, une jupe extérieure largement écartée radialement de la paroi cylindrique à bord libre ourlé de l'embase, et une collerette intérieure d'étanchéité. La fonction verseur, assurée au moyen du bord libre ourlé, est assurée sur toute la périphérie de la paroi cylindrique du corps verseur, ce qui s'avère ne pas être le plus efficace.EP-A-0 472 655 discloses a cap comprising a pouring body including a cap and a capsule including a hinge. The pouring body is part of a base including an inner skirt and a concentric outer skirt to cap the edge of the neck of the container, a cylindrical wall facing away from the skirts and whose free edge is slightly edged outward on the entire periphery, and finally a transverse seal connected by an annular thin web to the inner skirt can be torn off using a pull ring. The capsule includes a top wall, an outer skirt widely spaced radially from the cylindrical wall with a free edge hemmed with the base, and an inner sealing collar. The pouring function, provided by means of the free edge hemmed, is provided over the entire periphery of the cylindrical wall of the pouring body, which proves to be not the most effective.
On connaît d'autres bouchons dont l'embase comporte un bec verseur saillant, localisé, formant une excroissance notable, dirigée radialement vers l'extérieur, généralement à l'opposé des moyens de pivotement du capot. Cet agencement a pour inconvénient l'encombrement du bouchon, le caractère peu gracieux du bec verseur, visible lorsque le bouchon est fermé, enfin et surtout la dissymétrie extérieure du bouchon, ce qui oblige de l'orienter pour le manipuler et le capsuler, les moyens de manipulation et de capsulage étant de ce fait plus complexes.Other plugs are known whose base comprises a spout protruding, localized, forming a notable protuberance, directed radially outwardly, generally opposite to the pivoting means of the cover. This arrangement has the disadvantage of the size of the stopper, the ungraceful nature of the pourer spout, visible when the stopper is closed, and last but not least the external dissymmetry of the stopper, which makes it necessary to orientate it to manipulate and capsulate it. manipulation and capping means are therefore more complex.
L'invention propose un bouchon à moyen verseur dont la fonction verseur est assurée de façon efficace au moyen d'un bec verseur « orienté », c'est à dire localisé en un emplacement donné de la circonférence du moyen verseur, le bouchon présentant néanmoins extérieurement une forme générale cylindrique évitant l'inconvénient de l'orientation pour la manipulation, et la disgrâce d'un bec verseur visible. En outre le bouchon selon l'invention présente une bonne étanchéité lorsque celui-ci est fermé.The invention proposes a medium-pouring cap whose pouring function is effectively ensured by means of an "oriented" spout, ie located at a given location of the circumference of the pouring means, the stopper nevertheless having externally a generally cylindrical shape avoiding the inconvenience of the orientation for manipulation, and the disgrace of a spout visible. In addition, the plug according to the invention has a good seal when it is closed.
A cet effet, l'invention propose un bouchon à moyen verseur comprenant une embase incluant un moyen verseur, un capot ayant une jupe périphérique et des moyens de pivotement du capot sur l'embase, dans lequel le moyen verseur comporte une paroi de forme générale cylindrique, dont la partie supérieure est conformée pour constituer une excroissance dirigée radialement vers l'extérieur formant un bec verseur localisé, situé à l'opposé des moyens de pivotement, ce bec verseur, placé à l'intérieur du bouchon lorsque celui-ci est fermé, étant ainsi invisible depuis l'extérieur du bouchon et la jupe du capot pouvant être dépourvue de l'excroissance dirigée radialement vers l'extérieur typique d'un bec verseur localisé.For this purpose, the invention proposes a pourer-type stopper comprising a base including a pouring means, a cover having a peripheral skirt and means for pivoting the cover on the base, in which the pouring means comprises a wall of general shape. cylindrical, the upper portion is shaped to form a radially outwardly directed outgrowth forming a spout located, located opposite the pivoting means, the spout, placed inside the plug when it is closed, thus being invisible from the outside of the cap and the bonnet skirt may be devoid of outgrowth directed radially outward typical of a spout located.

Le bouchon à moyen verseur, en matière plastique et d'axe général de révolution Z, est typiquement destiné à des récipients (tels que des bouteilles) de conditionnement d'un contenu liquide ou pâteux notamment alimentaire tel que de l'huile, de la sauce, du vinaigre, un produit laitier, ou autres.The medium-pouring cap, made of plastic and having a general axis of revolution Z, is typically intended for containers (such as bottles) for packaging a liquid or pasty food-related content such as oil, sauce, vinegar, a dairy product, or others.
Dans la réalisation représentée, le bouchon, d'une seule pièce, comprend une embase 1 périphérique incluant un moyen verseur 2, un capot 3 et des moyens 4 de pivotement du capot 3 sur l'embase 1.In the embodiment shown, the plug, in one piece, comprises a peripheral base 1 including a pouring means 2, a cover 3 and means 4 for pivoting the cover 3 on the base 1.
Le bouchon est décrit en supposant l'axe Z vertical, l'embase 1 vers le bas et le capot 3 vers le haut. C'est par rapport à cette position que doivent être compris les mots « haut », « bas », « au-dessus », « au-dessous », « sommet »... Le mot « axial » se réfère à l'axe Z, tandis que le mot « transversal » vise ce qui est perpendiculaire à l'axe Z. Selon le contexte le mot « interne » (ou « intérieur ») vise soit ce qui se trouve situé dans le bouchon stricto sensu soit ce qui est tourné vers ou proche de l'axe Z, tandis que le mot « externe » (ou « extérieur ») vise l'inverse.The cap is described assuming the vertical Z axis, the base 1 down and the hood 3 upwards. It is in relation to this position that must be understood the words "high", "low", "above", "below", "top" ... The word "axial" refers to the Z axis, while the word "transversal" refers to what is perpendicular to the Z axis. Depending on the context, the word "internal" (or "inside") refers to what is located in the cap stricto sensu or what is turned towards or close to the Z axis, while the word "external" (or "outside") is the opposite.
L'embase 1 comporte une jupe extérieure 5 de forme cylindrique, dirigée vers le bas agencée pour, et destinée à, être fixée sur le col du récipient, grâce à des moyens de fixation appropriés complémentaires l'un de l'autre, tels qu'une collerette en saillie ou un filetage, prévu en l'espèce sur la face interne de la jupe extérieure 5. L'embase 1 comporte, sur le bord supérieur de la jupe extérieure 5 un retour annulaire 6, dirigé vers l'intérieur.The base 1 comprises an outer skirt 5 of cylindrical shape, directed downwards arranged for and intended to be fixed on the neck of the container, by means of appropriate fastening means complementary to one another, such as a protruding flange or thread, provided in this case on the inner face of the outer skirt 5. The base 1 comprises, on the upper edge of the outer skirt 5 an annular return 6, directed inwards.
Le moyen verseur 2 comporte une paroi 7, de forme générale cylindrique, attenante au bord intérieur du retour annulaire 6. La paroi 7, généralement de plus petit diamètre que la jupe extérieure 5, a une partie inférieure 8 et une partie supérieure 9. La partie inférieure 8 est située en regard de la jupe extérieure 5. La partie supérieure 9 saille axialement de la jupe extérieure 5 au dessus du retour annulaire 6, sur un secteur circulaire de l'ordre de trois quart de tour situé diamétralement à l'opposé des moyens 4 de pivotement.The pouring means 2 comprises a wall 7, of generally cylindrical shape, adjoining the inner edge of the annular return 6. The wall 7, generally of smaller diameter than the outer skirt 5, has a lower portion 8 and an upper portion 9. lower part 8 is located facing the outer skirt 5. The upper part 9 protrudes axially from the outer skirt 5 above the annular return 6, on a circular sector of the order of three quarter turn located diametrically opposite means 4 of pivoting.
La partie supérieure 9 est limitée à son extrémité sommitale par un bord libre 10 généralement très légèrement évasé vers l'extérieur, s'étendant sensiblement dans un plan passant sensiblement par les moyens 4 de pivotement et incliné vers le haut à l'opposé des moyens 4, avec un angle aigu de l'ordre de 10° à 30° par rapport à un plan transversal, par exemple un plan incliné de l'ordre de 17°.The upper part 9 is limited at its end end by a free edge 10 generally slightly outwardly flaring, extending substantially in a plane passing substantially through the pivoting means 4 and inclined upwardly opposite the means 4, with an acute angle of the order of 10 ° to 30 ° relative to a transverse plane, for example an inclined plane of the order of 17 °.
Dans sa zone de plus grande hauteur axiale, la partie supérieure 9, de forme cylindrique, est conformée sur toute sa hauteur ou du moins sur une hauteur suffisante attenante au bord libre 10, pour constituer une excroissance 11 dirigée radialement vers l'extérieur formant un bec verseur « orienté », c'est-à- dire localisé en un emplacement donné de la circonférence du moyen verseur, situé à l'opposé des moyens 4 de pivotement.In its zone of greater axial height, the upper portion 9, of cylindrical shape, is shaped over its entire height or at least a sufficient height adjacent to the free edge 10, to form an outgrowth 11 directed radially outwardly forming a pouring spout "oriented", that is to say located at a given location of the circumference of the pouring means, located opposite the means 4 of pivoting.
Par exemple, pour un bouchon dont l'embase 1 a un diamètre de l'ordre de 3 cm et la partie 9 un diamètre de l'ordre de 2,5 cm, l'excroissance du bec verseur 11 peut être de l'ordre du ou de quelques millimètres.For example, for a plug whose base 1 has a diameter of about 3 cm and the portion 9 a diameter of about 2.5 cm, the protrusion of the spout 11 may be of the order from or a few millimeters.
Dans sa géométrie générale, le bord libre 10 du moyen verseur est suffisamment écarté radialement de la jupe 19 du capot 3 , ce qui autorise, si on le souhaite, d'aménager un bec verseur 11 plus important et orienté, ce qui permet un versage plus efficace, tout en restant inscrit dans l'encombrement extérieur cylindrique du bouchon. L'on comprend que le bec verseur 11 , placé à l'intérieur du bouchon lorsque celui-ci est fermé, est invisible depuis l'extérieur du bouchon. D'autre part, la jupe 19 du capot 3 peut être dépourvue de l'excroissance dirigée radialement vers l'extérieur qui serait typique d'un bec verseur orienté extérieur. Cet agencement évite l'inconvénient de la nécessité d'orienter le bouchon pour le manipuler et le capsuler, outre la disgrâce d'un bec verseur visible de l'extérieur du bouchon.In its general geometry, the free edge 10 of the pouring means is sufficiently spaced radially from the skirt 19 of the cover 3, which allows, if desired, to provide a larger pouring spout 11 oriented, which allows a pouring more efficient, while remaining inscribed in the outer cylindrical size of the plug. It is understood that the spout 11, placed inside the cap when it is closed, is invisible from outside the cap. On the other hand, the skirt 19 of the cover 3 may be devoid of the outgrowth directed radially outwardly which would be typical of an outward oriented spout. This arrangement avoids the disadvantage of the need to orient the cap for handling and capping, in addition to the disgrace of a spout visible from the outside of the cap.
Le moyen verseur 2 comporte également un opercule 12 arrachable empêchant l'accès au contenu du récipient avant une première utilisation et protégeant ce contenu des pénétrations extérieures de polluants ou de l'oxydation par l'oxygène ambiant.The pouring means 2 also comprises a tear-off lid 12 preventing access to the contents of the container before a first use and protecting this content of external penetrations of pollutants or oxidation by ambient oxygen.
L'opercule 12, disposé transversalement, est relié à la paroi 7, à savoir, dans la réalisation représentée, à sa partie inférieure 8, par un voile mince 13 de forme générale annulaire constituant la ligne d'arrachage de l'opercule 12.The operculum 12, arranged transversely, is connected to the wall 7, namely, in the embodiment shown, at its lower part 8, by a thin web 13 of generally annular shape constituting the tear line of the cover 12.
Dans sa zone proche des moyens 4 de pivotement et diamétralement opposée à l'excroissance 11 de la paroi 7, le voile mince 13 formant ligne d'arrachage est conformé dans son plan pour constituer une excroissance 14, inscrite dans un secteur circulaire de quelques degrés d'angle. L'excroissance 14 est dirigée radialement vers l'extérieur. Elle donne au voile mince 13, vu en élévation, non pas une forme de cercle parfait mais une forme générale de cercle avec une déformation oblongue vers l'extérieur à l'endroit de l'excroissance 14. Dans la partie médiane de l'excroissance 14, le voile 13 a un rayon de courbure plus faible que celui du reste du voile 13.In its zone close to the pivoting means 4 and diametrically opposed to the protrusion 11 of the wall 7, the thin web 13 forming tear line is shaped in its plane to form a protrusion 14, inscribed in a circular sector of a few degrees angle. The protrusion 14 is directed radially outwards. It gives to the thin veil 13, seen in elevation, not a perfect circle shape but a general shape of a circle with an oblong outward deformation at the place of the outgrowth 14. In the middle part of the outgrowth 14, the web 13 has a smaller radius of curvature than that of the remainder of the web 13.
Par exemple, pour le bouchon dont l'embase 1 a un diamètre de l'ordre de 3 cm et la partie 9 un diamètre de l'ordre de 2,5 cm, le voile a un rayon de courbure général de l'ordre de 1 cm, sauf à l'endroit de l'excroissance 14 où, en partie médiane, le rayon de courbure est de l'ordre de 3 mm. La présence de l'excroissance 14 facilite le début d'arrachage de l'opercule 12 en localisant de façon appropriée la force d'arrachage, ce qui abaisse l'effort d'arrachage par l'utilisateur. En outre, lorsque le bouchon est fermé, l'on évite le percutage de l'opercule 12 par la collerette d'étanchéité du capot 3, sur laquelle on reviendra par la suite.For example, for the plug whose base 1 has a diameter of the order of 3 cm and the portion 9 a diameter of the order of 2.5 cm, the web has a general radius of curvature of the order of 1 cm, except at the location of the protrusion 14 where, in the middle part, the radius of curvature is of the order of 3 mm. The presence of the protrusion 14 facilitates the start of tearing of the seal 12 by appropriately locating the pulling force, which lowers the lifting force by the user. In addition, when the cap is closed, it avoids the percussion of the seal 12 by the sealing collar of the cover 3, which will be discussed later.
Au dessus et à la périphérie de l'opercule 12 est rigidement fixé, dans l'excroissance 14, un organe 15 permettant le passage d'un doigt de l'utilisateur en vue de tirer sur l'opercule 12 pour l'arracher.Above and at the periphery of the cover 12 is rigidly fixed in the protrusion 14, a member 15 allowing the passage of a finger of the user to pull on the cover 12 to tear it off.
Dans la réalisation représentée, l'organe 15 est un anneau brisé, c'est-à-dire incomplet, bien que presque complet, relié à la face supérieure de l'opercule par deux pattes 16a, 16b, périphériques, disposées en direction axiale, distinctes l'une de l'autre mais situées à proximité immédiate l'une de l'autre. Les pattes 16a, 16b, sont reliées aux deux extrémités de l'anneau brisé 15 par des parties arrondies 17a, 17b.In the embodiment shown, the member 15 is a broken ring, that is to say incomplete, although almost complete, connected to the upper face of the cover by two lugs 16a, 16b, peripheral, arranged in the axial direction. , distinct from each other but located in close proximity to one another. The tabs 16a, 16b are connected to both ends of the broken ring 15 by rounded portions 17a, 17b.
Cet agencement donne plus d'aisance à l'utilisateur pour passer son doigt dans l'anneau brisé 15, notamment permet d'élargir l'anneau brisé. Il en résulte une meilleure saisie de l'anneau brisé 15 qui, en combinaison avec l'excroissance 14 facilite l'arrachage de l'opercule 12.This arrangement makes it easier for the user to pass his finger in the broken ring 15, in particular to widen the broken ring. This results in a better grip of the broken ring 15 which, in combination with the protrusion 14 facilitates tearing of the lid 12.
En outre, le moulage de l'anneau brisé 15 peut être réalisé de manière que, lorsque le capot 3 est ouvert, l'anneau brisé 15 tende à se projeter vers le haut en saillant davantage du moyen verseur 2. Cette disposition contribue également à un meilleur engagement du doigt de l'utilisateur dans l'anneau brisé 15.In addition, the molding of the broken ring 15 can be made in such a way that, when the cover 3 is open, the broken ring 15 tends to project upwards, projecting more from the pouring means 2. This arrangement also contributes to better engagement of the user's finger in the broken ring 15.
Le capot 3 comporte une paroi sommitale transversale 18 - plane dans la réalisation représentée - ayant une face interne 18a tournée vers le bas. Il comporte également, attenante au bord périphérique de la paroi 18, une jupe périphérique cylindrique 19, dirigée vers le bas, limitée par un bord libre inférieur 20. Bien que le bouchon intègre un bec verseur 11, la jupe 19 du capot 3 est dépourvue de l'excroissance dirigée radialement vers l'extérieur typique d'un bec verseur localisé. Ainsi la jupe 19 peut être extérieurement cylindrique, sans saillie notable. Cette structure permet de manipuler le bouchon comme s'il était parfaitement cylindrique, alors que la présence sur la jupe 19 d'une excroissance nécessiterait d'orienter le bouchon pour permettre sa manipulation.The cover 3 has a transverse top wall 18 - flat in the embodiment shown - having an inner face 18a facing downwards. It also comprises, adjacent to the peripheral edge of the wall 18, a cylindrical peripheral skirt 19, directed downwards, bounded by a lower free edge 20. Although the cap incorporates a spout 11, the skirt 19 of the cover 3 is devoid of the outwardly directed outwardly directed outwardly of a spout located. Thus the skirt 19 may be externally cylindrical, without significant projection. This structure makes it possible to manipulate the stopper as if it were perfectly cylindrical, whereas the presence on the skirt 19 of an outgrowth would require to orient the stopper to allow its manipulation.
De la face interne 18a de la paroi sommitale 18 saille vers le bas une collerette 21 de forme générale cylindrique. La collerette 21 , qui a un diamètre externe en correspondance avec le diamètre interne de la paroi 7, vient au contact, par sa face externe, sur la face interne de la paroi 7, pour assurer l'étanchéité.From the inner face 18a of the top wall 18 protrudes downwardly a collar 21 of generally cylindrical shape. The flange 21, which has an outer diameter in correspondence with the internal diameter of the wall 7, comes into contact, by its outer face, on the inner face of the wall 7, to ensure sealing.
De préférence, pour assurer une meilleure étanchéité, la collerette 21 est pourvue d'un bourrelet périphérique qui vient s'encliqueter dans une rainure de forme complémentaire prévue sur face interne de la paroi 7.Preferably, to ensure a better seal, the flange 21 is provided with a peripheral bead which snaps into a groove of complementary shape provided on the internal face of the wall 7.
Avantageusement, la rainure de la face interne de la paroi 7 se situe en dessous du col formant le goulot de la bouteille et la paroi 7 coopère de manière étanche avec la paroi interne sommitale 18a du capot. Ainsi, le bouchon présente une double étanchéité.Advantageously, the groove of the inner face of the wall 7 is located below the neck forming the neck of the bottle and the wall 7 cooperates sealingly with the upper inner wall 18a of the cover. Thus, the plug has a double seal.
De plus, le fait qu'une zone d'étanchéité soit prévue à un niveau en dessous du col formant le goulot de la bouteille permet d'empêcher un liquide contenu dans la bouteille de se répandre dans la zone défini entre les deux zones d'étanchéités.In addition, the fact that a sealing zone is provided at a level below the neck forming the neck of the bottle makes it possible to prevent a liquid contained in the bottle from spreading in the zone defined between the two zones of the bottle. seals.
Lorsque le bouchon est fermé, l'anneau brisé 15 est contraint et vient contre la face interne 18a de la paroi sommitale 18 du capot 6 En outre, comme indiqué, la structure du voile 13 de l'opercule 12 évite que ce dernier ne soit percuté par la collerette d'étanchéité 13.When the cap is closed, the broken ring 15 is constrained and comes against the inner face 18a of the top wall 18 of the cover 6 In addition, as indicated, the structure of the web 13 of the cover 12 prevents it from being struck by the sealing collar 13.
Le bouchon monobloc comprend deux parties, l'une que l'on peut qualifier de fixe PF - en ce sens qu'elle est fixée rigidement sur le col du récipient - et l'autre δThe one-piece cap comprises two parts, one that can be described as fixed PF - in that it is rigidly attached to the neck of the container - and the other δ
que l'on peut qualifier de mobile PM, associées l'une à l'autre par les moyens 4 de pivotement. La partie fixe PF comprend l'embase 1 et le moyen verseur 2, tandis que la partie mobile PM est formée du seul capot 3.that can be described as mobile PM, associated with each other by the means 4 of pivoting. The fixed part PF comprises the base 1 and the pouring means 2, whereas the mobile part PM is formed of the only cover 3.
Les deux parties fixe PF et mobile PM coopèrent tout d'abord comme décrit, en ce que la collerette 21 coopère avec la paroi 7. En outre, le plan de jonction P des parties fixe PF et mobile PM est légèrement incliné du haut vers le bas du coté des moyens 4 de pivotement vers le bec verseur 11.The two fixed parts PF and mobile PM initially cooperate as described, in that the collar 21 cooperates with the wall 7. In addition, the junction plane P of the fixed parts PF and mobile PM is slightly inclined from the top to the down the side of the pivoting means 4 towards the spout 11.
Les moyens 4 de pivotement, fonctionnellement associés à l'embase 1 et au capot 3, assurent le pivotement de ce dernier autour d'un axe transversal X, entre deux positions extrêmes, à savoir une position de fermeture stable et une position d'ouverture stable. La position extrême d'ouverture résulte d'un pivotement de sensiblement 180° par rapport à la position de fermeture. Le cas échéant, le capot 3 peut être ouvert dans une position intermédiaire, par exemple par suite d'un pivotement à 90°.The pivoting means 4, functionally associated with the base 1 and the cover 3, provide pivoting of the latter around a transverse axis X, between two extreme positions, namely a stable closed position and an open position. stable. The extreme open position results from a pivoting of substantially 180 ° with respect to the closed position. If necessary, the cover 3 can be opened in an intermediate position, for example as a result of a 90 ° pivoting.
Les moyens 4 de pivotement peuvent faire l'objet de différentes variantes de réalisation appropriées à la structure du bouchon.The pivoting means 4 may be the subject of various alternative embodiments appropriate to the structure of the plug.
Dans la réalisation représentée, les moyens 4 de pivotement comprennent deux excroissances 22 et 23, attenantes respectivement à l'embase 1 et au capot 3 reliées par une ligne 24 de plus faible épaisseur et de plus faible résistance. De part et d'autre des excroissances 24, sont prévues deux parties incurvées élastiquement déformables.In the embodiment shown, the pivoting means 4 comprise two protuberances 22 and 23, respectively adjacent to the base 1 and the cover 3 connected by a line 24 of smaller thickness and lower resistance. On either side of the protuberances 24 are provided two resiliently deformable curved portions.
Dans la réalisation représentée, le bouchon comporte également des moyens 27 régulateurs de l'écoulement du contenu du récipient, constitués d'une multiplicité de parties (communément appelées « pétales »), s'étendant à partir de la face interne de la paroi 7 du moyen verseur 2, légèrement en dessous de l'opercule 12, en étant dirigées vers l'axe Z, réparties sensiblement uniformément autour du dit axe, légèrement dirigées vers le bas, et laissant libre des espaces de passage entre elles et centralement. Dans la réalisation représentée, le capot 3 comporte sur la face externe de sa jupe 19, diamétralement à l'opposé des moyens 4 de pivotement, une petite saillie 28 dirigée transversalement vers l'extérieur offrant une prise pour l'utilisateur afin de faciliter l'ouverture du capot 3. Malgré l'existence de la saillie 28, le bouchon peut être manipulé comme s'il était parfaitement de révolution, car la saillie est de taille limitée en direction radiale.In the embodiment shown, the cap also comprises means 27 regulating the flow of the contents of the container, consisting of a multiplicity of parts (commonly called "petals"), extending from the inner face of the wall 7 the pouring means 2, slightly below the cap 12, being directed towards the Z axis, distributed substantially uniformly about said axis, slightly directed downwards, and leaving free passage spaces between them and centrally. In the embodiment shown, the cover 3 has on the outer face of its skirt 19, diametrically opposite the pivoting means 4, a small projection 28 directed transversely outwardly providing a grip for the user to facilitate the 3. Despite the existence of the projection 28, the plug can be handled as if it were perfectly revolution, because the projection is of limited size in the radial direction.
Pour la fabrication du bouchon, on moule par injection, en une seule opération, l'embase 1 , le moyen verseur 2 et le capot 3, ce dernier étant disposé ouvert, Ensuite le bouchon est fermé avant que d'être monté sur le récipient auquel il est destiné. For the manufacture of the stopper, the base 1, the pouring means 2 and the cover 3 are molded by injection in a single operation, the latter being arranged open. The stopper is then closed before being mounted on the receptacle. for which it is intended.
