Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method and a machine for manufacturing a plug for a container neck. It also relates to a plug as obtained by this manufacturing process.
- the invention relates, in general, to plugs comprising a skirt which surrounds the neck of a container and a lower part of which, when it is considered that this neck extends vertically with its upwardly directed mouth, is intended to to remain around the neck after the first opening of the cap, while the rest of the skirt, that is to say the upper part, is provided removable relative to the neck, while being initially connected to the non-removable bottom part the skirt by frangible bridges, distributed along the periphery of the skirt and able to be broken during the first opening of the cap.
- the invention is more particularly concerned with plugs whose line of weakness is cut off, that is to say which comprises a succession of through-cuts, cut through the wall of the skirt and along its periphery, of to define, between two successive notches, one of the aforementioned frangible bridges.
- Achieving the line of weakening by cutting rather than molding is preferred because it is more economical and more practical since it does not require the use of complex molds, provided for example with drawers.
- the object of the present invention is to improve in a simple and economical manner the manufacture of cut-off line caps, to have a plug whose removable skirt portion remains connected to the non-removable skirt portion after the first opening of the cap.
- the invention relates to a method of manufacturing a cap for a container neck, as defined in claim 1.
- the weakening line is cut under the shape of a helix, centered on the axis of the skirt and wound over more than 360 ° so that, in the direction of the axis of the skirt, the two peripheral ends of the line are arranged one above on the other, delimiting between them a bit of matter.
- This strand is sized to form a non-breakable connection between the removable and non-removable skirt portions.
- This plug is preferably obtained by the process as defined above, with the structural advantages mentioned above.
- FIG. 6 is a schematic section along the plane VI-VI of FIG. 5;
- the position of this skirt, along its axis XX, is modified relative to the blade 110, along a translation T both parallel to the axis XX and directed in one direction, as shown in FIG. 7
- the skirt 12 is tr anslate progressively relative to the blade 110 during their relative rotational drive, because of the continuous inclination of the surface 108, the angle of inclination ⁇ of this surface thus corresponding to the angle ⁇ relative to the shape in helix of line 20.
- This alternative embodiment comprises the same components, namely the mandrel 100, the support plate 106 , the cutting blade 110 and the pusher 116. It differs from the embodiment of Figures 5 to 7 in that the surface 108 of the plate 106 extends perpendicular to the axis 102 of the mandrel 100. To allow the cutting of the notches 24 along the helical path of the line 20, the blade 110 is here inclined relative to the surface 108 in the direction of the path 124, at an angle noted ⁇ in Figure 9. The angle of inclination ⁇ corresponds to the angle ⁇ relative to the helical shape of the line 20.
