Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for opening and closing a bottle with a cap having a flexible straw at one end for drinking any type of liquid product suitable for consumption.
  • the removable parts are formed in the top inside a stopper for maintaining the straw vertically, a reinforcement ensuring the closure of the straw, and along a system of male fasteners and female all guaranteeing the sealing of the cap in the closed position.
  • the first part of the straw consists of a fixed part and a flexible part allowing a comfort of use. Indeed, thanks to this flexibility the user has the opportunity to unfold the straw pulling up to drink, and fold to its original position to close the cap.
  • the second part of the straw crosses the base of the cap and is immersed in the bottle with a curved shape, thus recovering all the liquid contained in the bottle.
  • Figure 2 shows the device of the invention in the open position with the flexible portion of the straw not relaxed.
  • Figure 3 shows the device of the invention in open position with the flexible portion of the relaxed straw.
  • the device comprises 2 removable parts (1) represented in the form of a crocodile jaw.
  • the user makes a manual pressure on the removable parts and pull them outwards These rest on a plastic base (2) which is screwed or fixed on a bottle.
  • This base is crossed by a straw (3) part in the liquid.
  • the removable parts (1) are formed in the top of a wedge stop (4) for maintaining the vertical straw when the cap is in the closed position, a reinforcement (5) for closing the straw and a closure system male (8) and female (9) all for sealing the cap.
  • the straw shows a fixed part (6) and a flexible part (7) to drink the user pulls up the latter.
  • the device according to the invention is particularly intended for the equipment of bottles offering any type of liquid suitable for consumption.

Description

Dispositif d'ouverture et de fermeture d'un bouchon
. La présente invention concerne un dispositif d'ouverture et de fermeture d'une bouteille à l'aide d'un bouchon doté d'une paille flexible à une extrémité permettant de boire tout type de produit liquide propre à la consommation. Aujourd'hui l'ouverture et la fermeture des bouteilles se fait :
- par vissage et dévissage d'un bouchon
- par décapsulation
- par levée ou poussée manuelle d'un embout
- ou encore à l'aide d'un tire bouchon. L'absorption des liquides se fait :
- en portant à la bouche le goulot ou l'embout de la bouteille
- ou en y introduisant une paille.
Mais il n'existe aucun dispositif couplant dans un seul élément Une paille et un nouveau système d'ouverture. Le dispositif selon l'invention permet de remédier à cet inconvénient. Il comporte en effet plusieurs caractéristiques
- Un bouchon en plastique s'adaptant sur tout type de bouteille, s'ouvrant dans sa hauteur par une pression manuelle exercée sur Ie bouchon en écartant vers l'extérieur deux parties amovibles et laissant apparaître une paille.
- Les parties amovibles sont constituées dans le haut à l'intérieure d'une butée de calage permettant le maintient de la paille à la verticale, d'un renfort assurant la fermeture de la paille, et sur le long un système d'attaches mâle et femelle le tout garantissant l'étanchéité du bouchon en position fermé.
- La première partie de la paille est constituée d'une partie fixe et d'une partie flexible permettant un confort d'utilisation. En effet, grâce à cette flexibilité l'utilisateur a la possibilité de déplier la paille en tirant vers le haut pour boire, et de la replier jusqu'à sa position initiale pour pouvoir refermer le bouchon.
- La seconde partie de la paille traverse la base du bouchon et est immergée dans la bouteille avec une forme incurvée, permettant ainsi de récupérer tout le liquide contenu dans la bouteille.
Les dessins annexés illustrent l'invention : - la figure 1 représente le dispositif de l'invention en position fermé.
- la figure 2 représente le dispositif de l'invention en position ouverte avec la partie flexible de la paille non détendue. Ia figure 3 représente le dispositif de l'invention en position ouverte avec la partie flexible de la paille détendue.
En référence à ces dessins, le dispositif comporte 2 parties amovibles (1) représentées sous la forme d'une mâchoire de crocodile. Pour ouvrir le bouchon, l'utilisateur effectue une pression manuel sur les parties amovibles et les tirent vers l'extérieur Ces dernières reposent sur une base plastique (2) qui se visse ou se fixe sur une bouteille. Cette base est traversée par une paille (3) partie se trouvant dans le liquide. Les parties amovibles (1) sont constituées dans le haut d'une butée de calage (4) permettant de maintenir à la verticale la paille quand le bouchon est en position fermé, d'un renfort (5) permettant la fermeture de la paille et d'un système de fermeture mâle (8) et femelle (9) le tout permettant l'étanchéité du bouchon. La paille laisse bien apparaître une partie fixe (6) et une partie flexible (7) pour boire l'utilisateur tire vers le haut cette dernière.
Le dispositif selon l'invention est particulièrement destiné à l'équipement des bouteilles proposant tout type de liquide propre à Ia consommation.
