Definitions
- the invention relates to the field of capping capsules, and more particularly that of anti-fraud capping capsules for packaging liquid products of great value or of great renown, typically in the field of wines, alcohols, liqueurs or spirits. .
- anti-fraud to the refilling function, preventing or signaling any fraudulent reuse of a container by filling a different liquid from the original liquid.
- the term “inviolability” will be reserved for the "first opening control” function, generally provided by a strip or skirt connected to the capsule by a line of breakable bridges, also called “line of weakening", which is detached during of the first opening.
- a first object according to the invention is an irreplacability device, intended to be irreversibly fixed to the neck of a container containing a liquid and to be closed by a closure cap, said device having an axis coinciding with the axis.
- said neck when attached thereto, characterized in that it has an axial distribution duct of said liquid traversed by a transverse wall irreversibly fixed to said non-refill device and provided with a plurality of through channels, each of said through channels connecting an outer orifice, facing the outside of the container, to an inner orifice, facing the interior of the container, the smallest dimension of said external orifice being smaller than a critical dimension determined according to the tension of the critical surface of the constituent material of said transverse wall and wherein the smallest dimension of said inner port is greater than said critical dimension.
- the through channels have a variable section, this section can be defined by two extreme dimensions, measured along the main directions of said section.
- This section evolves from the inside of the container to the outside so that the smallest dimension decreases to a value below a critical value which depends on many parameters, among which the ability of the liquid to wet the surface of the transverse wall seems the most important parameter.
- This critical value is also a function of the viscosity of the liquid, but the latter is generally an alcohol to drink, typically a cognac, and has almost always the same viscous behavior.
- the critical surface tension of a material is associated with the wettability of this material.
- the wetting of the transverse wall depends primarily on the liquid surface tension and the critical surface tension of the material constituting the transverse wall.
- the critical surface tension of solid substrates can be determined by the method of measuring the contact angle.
- a very fast determination of approximate values can be made by means of special test-inks (for example, according to ASTM method 02578/67).
- the applicant has found that it was first necessary to control the size of the smallest dimension of the orifice: outer side, the edges and the wall of the channels not being, or being badly wetted by said liquid due to the critical surface tension of the material of the transverse wall, the latter can not penetrate easily into the through channel.
- the edges and the entrance of the wall of the through channels are more easily wetted: the liquid can enter the channel and cross it to the outlet orifice and eject it through the dynamic effect of the flow of the liquid and the pressure of the column of liquid still contained in the bottle.
- the smallest dimension of the external orifice must be certainly less but as close as possible to the said critical value.
- said transverse wall is made of a plastic material having a surface tension of between 25 and 50 mN / m and the smallest dimension of the outer orifices of the through channels is less than 0.7 mm, while the smaller dimension of their inner holes are greater than 0.7 mm. More preferably, the smallest dimension of the outer orifices is less than 0.6 mm, which makes the fraud even more difficult.
- the smallest dimension of the internal orifices is greater than 0.8 mm, which facilitates the flow of the liquid contained in the bottle.
- the transverse wall is substantially perpendicular to the axis of said device.
- the central portion of said transverse wall is present in the form of a grid having a network of through channels with sections whose form factor, defined by the ratio of the largest dimension on the smallest dimension, is less than 2, preferably close to 1.
- the inner holes have a square or rectangular shape.
- Said transverse wall may be flat.
- said through channels are all oriented substantially along the axis. In another embodiment, they are all inclined at an angle to the axial direction of the device, the angle is typically between 30 and 60 °. In yet another embodiment said so-called through channels are composed of two axial portions communicating with each other but offset from each other with respect to the axis.
- Said transverse wall may also be curved and have its convexity towards the outside, typically having the shape of a hemispherical dome.
- the through channels are then preferably inclined relative to the direction normal to said transverse wall so that they remain substantially parallel to said axial direction.
- transverse wall makes it possible to prevent or at least to report any fraudulent reuse of the container by filling a liquid different from the original liquid: to fraudulently introduce this liquid, it is necessary to inject it under pressure while having to leave to escape the air contained in the bottle.
- the said transverse wall is given appropriate mechanical properties, the forces to be brought into play necessarily entail a destruction of the said wall.
- the invention therefore becomes particularly advantageous if said transverse wall is made of a sufficiently rigid and fragile material so that any fraudulent attempt to refill said container is made visible by the destruction or alteration of all or part of said transverse wall.
- said transverse wall is made of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) or polystyrene (PS), in particular impact polystyrene (SB) or crystal polystyrene. It has a thickness of between 0.5 and 2 mm.
- a molded one-piece device comprising a substantially cylindrical side wall to which said transverse wall is connected by means of a plurality of easily scored N bridges, N being preferably less than 12, of unit section less than 2 mm 2 , preferably less than 1 mm 2 .
- said transverse wall comprises in central part a grid provided with said plurality of through channels and at the periphery a plurality of curvilinear slots, the smallest dimension of which is smaller than said critical dimension, typically for a transverse plastic wall, less than 0.7 mm, and preferably less than 0.6 mm.
- the plurality of curvilinear slots is delimited by a crown attached to said side wall by easily broken outer bridges and the said grid by inner bridges also easily scored.
- each plurality of inner and outer bridges is regularly distributed and preferably angularly offset by ⁇ / N relative to the other plurality of bridges, N being preferably less than 12, of unit section less than 2 mm 2 , preferably less than 1 mm 2 .
