Description

Objet de l'inventionObject of the invention

L'invention fait référence, comme le présente l'énoncé de l'exposé descriptif, à un bouchon protecteur pour tubes de colle, silicone et produits similaires, qui apporte avantages et caractéristiques innovantes, décrites ci-dessous.The invention refers, as set forth in the statement of the disclosure, to a protective cap for tubes of glue, silicone and the like, which provides advantages and innovative features, described below.

Antécédents de l'inventionHistory of the invention

La problématique que présentent les tubes de colle, silicone et produits similaires est bien connue, lesquels, une fois ouverts et dont le produit entré au contact de l'air, sèchent plus ou moins rapidement, en obstruant sa sortie, le rendant impossible à utiliser, ou obligeant à réaliser de nouvelles ouvertures pour obtenir l'extraction du produit lors d'usages ultérieurs.The problem with glue tubes, silicone and similar products is well known, which, once opened and whose product comes into contact with air, dry more or less quickly, obstructing its output, making it impossible to use , or obliging to make new openings to obtain the extraction of the product for subsequent uses.

Actuellement, et comme référence à l'état de la technologie, il faut mentionner que le sollicitant n'a pas connaissance de l'existence d'un bouchon pour tubes de colle, silicone et produits similaires qui présenteraient des caractéristiques techniques, structurelles et constitutives semblables à celles que préconise la présente invention.Currently, and as a reference to the state of technology, it should be mentioned that the applicant is not aware of the existence of a plug for tubes of glue, silicone and similar products that have technical characteristics, structural and constitutive similar to those advocated by the present invention.

Explication de l'inventionExplanation of the invention

Ainsi, le bouchon que l'invention propose, constitue une nouveauté évidente au sein de son champ d'application, du fait que son application à la fois simple et spécifique permet d'éviter avantageusement le séchage et la détérioration de produits, comme la colle, la silicone et produits similaires dans les tubes qui les dispensent.Thus, the plug that the invention proposes, is an obvious novelty within its scope, since its application both simple and specific advantageously avoids drying and deterioration of products, such as glue , silicone and similar products in the tubes that dispense them.

De cette manière, le bouchon protecteur que l'invention défend, est, concrètement et essentiellement composé d'un corps conique creux et fin, réalisé de préférence en caoutchouc ou de matière de caractéristiques élastiques semblables, pourvu en sa base d'une rondelle circulaire sensiblement plus épaisse qui lui offre davantage de consistance, les dimensions étant de longueur et largeur adéquates afin de s'ajuster convenablement à l'embout du tube auquel il se destine.In this way, the protective plug that the invention defends, is, concretely and essentially composed of a hollow and thin conical body, preferably made of rubber or material of similar elastic characteristics, provided at its base with a circular washer substantially thicker which gives it more consistency, the dimensions being of adequate length and width in order to fit properly to the end of the tube for which it is intended.

De cette façon, une fois le tube de colle, silicone ou produits similaires, ouvert de manière conventionnelle, et une fois fait un usage normal dudit tube, le bouchon se positionne sur l'embout, comme s'il s'agissait d'un capuchon ou d'une housse, avec la particularité que, grâce aux caractéristiques du matériel utilisé, il permet d'exercer une pression à son extrémité destinée à extraire l'air existant entre le bouchon et l'embout du tube, créant ainsi un vide empêchant la colle, la silicone ou produit similaire, de sécher, le bouchon d'origine pouvant être installé postérieurement normalement sur le bouchon de pression ou pas de vis du tube.In this way, once the tube of glue, silicone or similar products, opened conventionally, and once made a normal use of said tube, the cap is positioned on the tip, as if it were a cap or cover, with the particularity that, thanks to the characteristics of the material used, it allows to exert a pressure at its end intended to extract the air existing between the cap and the tip of the tube, thus creating a vacuum preventing the glue, silicone or the like from drying, the original cap can be installed posteriorly normally on the pressure cap or no screw tube.

Par ailleurs, pour des utilisations ultérieures du tube de colle, silicone et produits similaires, il suffira de retirer d'abord le bouchon du tube, et dans un deuxième temps le bouchon protecteur de l'invention, tenu par la rondelle prévue en sa base, en effectuant un mouvement vers le haut, laissant ainsi à découvert et en parfaites conditions d'utilisation le produit contenu a l'intérieur.Furthermore, for subsequent uses of the tube of glue, silicone and similar products, it will suffice to first remove the plug of the tube, and in a second step the Protective cap of the invention, held by the washer provided at its base, making an upward movement, thus leaving uncovered and in perfect conditions of use the product contained therein.

Le nouveau bouchon protecteur pour tubes de colle, silicone et produits similaires, présente donc une structure innovante aux caractéristiques structurelles et constitutives inconnues jusqu'alors en vue de telles fins, raisons qui, unies à son utilité pratique, le dotent d'un fondement suffisant pour obtenir le privilège de l'exclusivité sollicitée.The new protective cap for tubes of glue, silicone and similar products, therefore has an innovative structure with structural and constitutive characteristics previously unknown for such purposes, reasons that, together with its practical usefulness, provide it with a sufficient foundation to obtain the privilege of the exclusivity solicited.

Description des schémasDescription of the schemas

Pour compléter la description qui en est faite, et pour favoriser une meilleure compréhension des caractéristiques de l'invention, la présente description est accompagnée d'un jeu de schémas de caractère illustratif et non limitatif représentant : Figure numéro 1. - Vue schématique en perspective d'un exemple de réalisation du bouchon protecteur selon d'invention, de manière à en apprécier clairement la configuration.To complete the description which is given, and to promote a better understanding of the features of the invention, the present description is accompanied by an illustrative and non-limiting set of character diagrams representing: Figure number 1. - Schematic perspective view an embodiment of the protective cap according to the invention, so as to clearly appreciate the configuration.

Réalisation préférentielle de l'inventionPreferred embodiment of the invention

Suite à l'observation de la figure 1. mentionnée, unique et en accord avec la numérotation adoptée pour celle-ci, on peut observer que le bouchon en question comprend les parties indiquées et expliquées ci-dessous.Following the observation of the figure 1 . mentioned, unique and in accordance with the numbering adopted for it, it can be observed that the plug in question comprises the parts indicated and explained below.

Ainsi, comme on peut l'observer sur ladite figure, le bouchon protecteur proposé par l'invention est essentiellement constitué d'un corps (1) adoptant une forme conique et creuse, disposant en sa base d'une rondelle (2).Thus, as can be seen in said figure, the protective cap proposed by the invention consists essentially of a body (1) adopting a conical and hollow shape, having at its base a washer (2).

Le corps mentionné (1) est relativement fin et flexible, de préférence en caoutchouc ou matériel de caractéristiques élastiques semblables, alors que la rondelle est plus épaisse afin d'en garantir la résistance, ainsi que l'adaptation à l'embout du tube, de longueur et largeur adéquates pour recevoir une tolérance suffisante, et néanmoins ajustée à l'embout du tube auquel il est destiné.The mentioned body (1) is relatively thin and flexible, preferably made of rubber or material of similar elastic characteristics, while the washer is thicker in order to guarantee its resistance, as well as the adaptation to the tip of the tube, of adequate length and width to receive a sufficient tolerance, and nevertheless adjusted to the tip of the tube for which it is intended.

Une fois posé sur l'embout, on exerce une pression sur l'extrémité du corps conique afin d'en extraire l'air et ainsi créer un vide permettant la conservation du produit contenu à l'intérieur du tube, lequel sécherait rapidement s'il entrait en contact avec de l'air après ouverture.Once placed on the tip, it exerts pressure on the end of the conical body to extract the air and thus create a vacuum for the preservation of the product contained inside the tube, which would dry quickly s' he came in contact with air after opening.

Une fois décrite la nature de la présente invention, ainsi que le mode d'utilisation pratique, on constate qu'elle pourra être mise en pratique sous d'autres formes de réalisation qui diffèrent de celle indiquée à titre d'exemple, lesquelles obtiendront le même résultat de protection, du moment que son principe fondamental ne soit ni modifié ni altéré.Once described the nature of the present invention, as well as the practical mode of use, it is found that it may be practiced in other embodiments which differ from that given by way of example, which will obtain the same result of protection, as long as its fundamental principle is neither modified nor altered.
