Definitions

  • the subject of the present invention is a closed partial opening sealing device for containers of different types, as well as a use of this device for the packaging of food products, preferably liquids such as beverages, in particular for the packaging of fruit juices. fruit in goblets, liquid yogurts and wine in tasting samples.
  • closure devices or closure members are known for containers that must remain sealed.
  • the tightness of these containers aims to avoid of course any spillage of their contents, but also to ensure sufficient conservation of this content, especially properties that make it its qualities, especially in the field of food products.
  • Such closure members consist of a cover, namely a membrane made from a single-layer or multilayer material such as a plastic or aluminum film which extends over the entire opening of the container and it is hermetically fixed at its edges by an adhesive product or by a heat-sealable material.
  • cap denotes indifferently the flexible membrane or, where appropriate, the assembly formed by this membrane and an adhesive product or a thin heat-sealing layer covering this membrane on its surface. inner side. Indeed, such a layer or such a product is only useful for fixing the lid on the edges of the opening of the container.
  • This fixing of the lid to the container can be fixed, fused and in this case the opening can be done with a tool such as a knife to cut for example the aluminum foil.
  • the sealant layer is described as peelable, thanks to the use in its realization of less adhesive materials and resins for peeling off the lid of the container.
  • the previous document FR 2'435'406 discloses precisely a sealing member sealingly intended to close the open end of a container and to open only partially when pulling on the ear which is the gripping means of the lid.
  • the opening area can be of any size and shape, of course within the open area of the unclosed container.
  • this document discloses a sealed closure member wherein the partial opening area is defined by one or more tear lines starting with a notch formed on the edge of the lid.
  • This or these tearing lines pass through the cap or respectively converge at a point located for example in the central zone of the lid.
  • these tearing lines are defined only by the positions and the orientation of the notches made in the edges of the lid.
  • these lines can be materialized by so-called lines of striping. Such scribe lines could be obtained by pre-cutting the lid. Another way would be to proceed to the stamping of the cap so as to obtain a fine deformation of its surface along a line that corresponds precisely to the tear line.
  • the object of the present invention proposes to solve the aforementioned problems according to another concept of opening applied to a closed partial opening sealing device.
  • the subject of the invention is a closed partial opening sealing device intended to cover the open surface of a container by means of a peelable cap.
  • the latter extends at least in part on this open surface and comprises a gripping means facilitating its opening.
  • This opening takes place according to an opening zone defined on its edge by a delimiting means of the tearing of the lid.
  • this delimiting means extends in over-thickness of the lid, along at least a portion of said edge, outside the opening zone.
  • the purpose of the present invention is also to provide a solution that is both simple to implement. and can use economical materials. In addition, this solution must be as efficient as it is reliable.
  • the invention also relates to a particular use of the suggested device, in particular a use for the packaging of food products or non-food, preferentially liquid or that can flow, in particular for the packaging of cups fruit juice, mineral water, yogurt to drink, samples of wine in dish.
  • the object of the invention makes it possible to obtain a clear and precise tearing of the opening zone without the operculum necessarily having to be weakened beforehand by scratch lines or by priming cuts. . Also, no oversizing of the thickness of the cap itself is also necessary. This helps to reduce manufacturing costs, especially when the lid is made from a relatively expensive material such as aluminum.
  • this container 1 is formed of a bottom 2, a side wall 3 of substantially conical shape which terminates at its upper end by a flange 4 forming an edge on which there is sealed a cap 10 By its outline, the flange 4 determines the open surface 5 of the container 1.
  • a handle 6 is attached against the side wall 3 or against the flange 4, and facilitates the gripping of the container 1. As illustrated in this figure, the lid is intact and completely closes the container.
  • This cover is preferably transparent to the light, so that part of the edge of the bottom 2 is shown in this figure in broken lines, just as a portion of the flange being under a gripping means 11 overflowing with the open surface 5.
  • This gripping means here consists of an extension of the lid in the form of a triangular tongue located at the periphery of the flange 4.
  • the lid 10 is also provided with an opening zone 15 defined at its edge 16 by a delimiting means 20 of the tearing of this lid.
  • the opening zone 15 of the lid is also transparent to light and has a triangular shape arranged in correspondence of the tongue which constitutes the gripping means. It goes without saying that the shape of this opening area could be quite different.
  • the object of the present invention therefore relates to a closed partial opening seal device which is formed of the peelable seal 10, its gripping means 11 and the delimiting means 20 of the tearing of this seal.
  • the delimiting means 20 which defines part or all of the edge or edges 16 of the opening zone 15, extends in over-thickness of the operculum outside the opening zone.
  • the delimiting means 20 is a means which constitutes an over-thickness of the lid and which extends at least along a portion of the edge 16 of the opening zone without ever overlapping or overlapping this edge, or even partially cover the opening zone 15.
  • this delimiting means defines the entire length of the or edges 16 of the opening zone 15 inside the open surface 5 of the container 1.
  • the delimiting means 20 of the tearing of the lid consists of an insert 25 against the outer surface of this lid.
  • This add-on may be adhered, for example by means of an adhesive layer extending over its entire surface or at least along the edges thereof.
  • an insert will be constituted by a label, made for example from cardboard, paper or a synthetic material, mono or multilayer.
  • the label or insert 25 is reported outside the opening zone 15, bordering the latter and for example only partially covers the surface of the lid outside this opening area.
  • the insert 25 forces the tearing of the cover 10 along this edge 16 when traction is exerted on this cover by pulling it towards the open surface 5 by means of the gripping means 11.
  • the insert 25 serves as cutting template along the edge 16 of the opening zone 15.
  • the edge or the edges of the delimiting means 20 which border the opening zone are of sharp and well-cut origin; they do not result from a prior tearing as it should be the case with, for example, pre-cut or scratched labels along their tear lines.
  • the device of the present invention may also be provided with at least one notch 12 for starting the cutting of the lid 10.
  • Such notch would then preferably be disposed on either side of the gripping means 11, upstream of the tear of the lid along the edge 16.
  • the notches 12 for priming the cutting could be superfluous.
  • the sharp effect given by the delimiting means 20, in-thickness against the operculum is sufficient to allow the tearing thereof before it is detached from the collar portion located outside the opening area.
  • the known means used to seal the seal peelably on the collar 4 which is perfectly suitable for the device of the present invention, it is not necessary to adapt or to have to look for a new system or other means of fixing the lid on its flange.
  • the material used in overlay of the seal for the insert 25 must be sufficiently rigid and strong to allow a guided tear along the edges of the opening area. It must also be intimately plated on the lid, either mechanically or by a layer of adhesive. Provided in paper, cardboard, plastic or aluminum, this material could also consist of a coating such as a relatively rigid varnish after drying for example.
  • the material which constitutes this element could be very solid or even tear-proof. In proportion, the operculum could thus also be stronger without it having more difficulty to open it.
  • an adhesive label as an insert advantageously provides a support on which can be written or printed any information or publicity relating to the contents of the sealed container.
  • the use of such a label also facilitates the implementation of the device of the present invention and thus the automation of a chain of production provided for this purpose.
  • the device of the present invention still has the advantage of being able to easily adapt to existing sealed containers and thus provide comfort of use for drinking or pouring.
  • the object of the present invention also aims at the use of the aforementioned device for the packaging of food or non-food products, in particular for the packaging of wine in samples or for the packaging of other foods for tasting .
  • the figure 1 illustrates precisely a container for such a sample, also known as tastevin.
  • a cap 10 transparent to light, the taster can easily appreciate the color or the wine's dress through the operculum.
  • the conditioning of the wine in such a sample could be done under a neutral atmosphere, for example in a gaseous environment of sterile nitrogen, thus making it possible to avoid any subsequent oxidation of the wine.
  • the wine can hardly be reversed during the tasting since the lid 10 closes most of the cup.
  • the shape of the opening zone 15 is studied so that the tasting can be above all easy and pleasant.
  • the use of the device of the present invention is not limited to an application on a container such as a tasting cup, but is of course suitable for any type of container for the packaging of products in a container. form of liquids, powders or granules for example, or any other product that can flow, or simply to clear a partial opening.
