Definitions
- the present invention relates to a resealable packaging intended in particular for a powdery food product, which comprises a locking device of the closure system. More particularly, the invention relates to a package comprising:
- a container extending along a central axis from a base to an upper face having an opening delimited by a frame
- a closure system comprising a lid hinged relative to the container between an open position and a closed position for which it closes the opening; and a lid locking device in the closed position comprising a locking plate connected to the cover and a gripping flange secured to the frame, said locking pad being pivotable about an axis (for example substantially horizontal, the central axis being typically vertical) between a gripping position and an unlocking position, and having on either side of said axis an actuating portion and a gripping portion extending up to respective free ends, said plate of pivotal locking from the gripping position for which the gripping portion engages the gripping flange in the closed position, to the unlocking position by manually actuating the actuating portion towards the central axis.
- a lid locking device in the closed position comprising a locking plate connected to the cover and a gripping flange secured to the frame, said locking pad being pivotable about an axis (for example substantially horizontal, the central axis being typically vertical) between a gripping position and an unlocking position
- Such locking made by engagement of the engaging portion with the engagement flange is generally sufficiently firm to hold the cover in position closing even in case of drop of the package, which is not always the case with a lid whose inner periphery is simply engaged with friction on the neck of the container. Moreover, the handling of the locking plate remains sufficiently simple and intuitive to obtain satisfactory comfort of use.
- Such a locking device is known for example from WO 2005/075314.
- the package described in this document does not integrate well the locking device with respect to the volume of the container.
- the wafer protrudes relative to the volume of the lid.
- the height of the actuating portion is relatively small.
- the present invention therefore aims to provide an improved locking device, both in terms of ease of actuation and in terms of its safety action.
- a packaging of the aforementioned type characterized in that the cover has a side wall of height at least equal to the height of the actuating portion and an upper face having a depression opening into the side wall, and in that the actuating portion of the locking plate is located at the outlet of the depression and pivots in this depression to assume the position of unlocking, the hooking portion of the locking plate disengaging radially outwardly of the engagement flange.
- the hinged lid has a significant height (for example between 2 and 5 cm) and a side wall that facilitate its handling.
- One or more objects can then be stored in the volume defined by the lid.
- the locking plate extends in the extension of the side wall of the cover in the setting position.
- the cover has a contour devoid of projection and a stack of a plurality of closure systems of the package is made possible.
- the free end of the actuating portion is at least three times further from the pivot axis than is the free end of the attachment portion. It is therefore advantageously obtained a lever effect when 1 unlocking actuation.
- the closure system comprises an elastic hinge which comprises two hinge elements between which is formed a spacing f adjacent to the depression, the engagement flange being inserted into said spacing and pressing against the side wall of the lid for the closed position.
- the attachment portion comprises at least one lug oriented radially inwards relative to the central axis and engaging with the engagement flange for the locking position, so as to prevent in the position locking a translation displacement of the locking plate in a direction orthogonal to the pivot axis.
- the actuating portion has an outer face having at least one projecting rib. This rib can be placed at a distance from the free end of the actuating portion, with a shape similar to the contour of this free end. The finger used during the manual actuation can not slide beyond the rib and will therefore be in an optimal position (for example in the center of the actuating portion) for the comfort of handling.
- the locking plate is associated with at least one tamper indicator before the first opening of the closure system, said tamper indicator being connected by a first frangible connection to a lateral edge of the plate, and by a second connection to an edge formed between a face of the depression and the side wall of the cover.
- the locking plate consists of a flat wall at the level of its actuating portion.
- the invention also aims to provide a closure system that is easy to lock and unlock.
- a closure system comprising said frame and said cover of the package, characterized in that the frame and the cover form a unitary unit (preferably monobloc) intended to be fixed at the top of the package. 'a packaging.
- the locking plate and the cover are obtained in one piece via an injection molding.
- the invention relates here to a package with resealable closure lid for a product food. More particularly, the invention relates to a package comprising: - a container extending along a central axis from a base to an upper face having an opening defined by a frame, the frame having an inner face; and
- a closure system comprising a hinged lid relative to the container between an open position and a closed position for which it closes the opening of the container, the cover having an upper wall.
- This type of package has an easy-to-use closure system and is commonly used in the food industry, for example to contain powdery, granular or flaky food products.
- Document FR 2 747 107 A1 describes an example of packaging such food with the lid hinged by an elastic hinge on a frame covering the top of the container. The cover externally covers the upper periphery of the frame. The cover thus offers an easy grip and is then particularly easy to handle.
- the disadvantage encountered is the deposition of powder in the corners or edges formed under the lid, especially after a rollover of the package, for example during a transport.
- the purpose of the invention is therefore to provide a resealable package making easy the handling of the lid and limiting at the closure the asperities likely to retain the powder or small grains contained in the package.
- the packaging of the aforementioned type with a top-wall cover is characterized in that the cover has a side wall extending from the top wall and an inner skirt extending from the side wall and at a distance of the upper wall to define with the side wall a continuous groove, in that the frame has an upper face which comprises a projecting annular projection extending in the extension of the inner face of the frame, and in that the inner skirt s is at least partially supported on said inner face of the frame for the closed position.
- the insertion of the annular projection of the frame into the groove can advantageously contribute to a centering of the lid during closure. Insertion into this groove can also provide improved sealing.
- the cover may delimit a relatively large interior volume by raising the upper wall relative to the groove. This volume gain under the cover is advantageously obtained with a side wall portion extending above the groove, which limits the size of the groove and thus save material for packaging.
- the frame is attached to the container and the closure system comprises a hinge connecting the hinged frame to the cover, said frame having a gradually decreasing height profile away from the hinge.
- the side wall and the inner skirt meet to form, in vertical section, the branches of a Y. This limits the amount of plastic material required for the manufacture of the lid.
- the inner skirt extends beyond the side wall. Thus, the closure is facilitated, especially when the cover has a certain flexibility and has a lower height opposite the hinge, thanks to the guiding / centering effect caused by this inner skirt.
- the frame has a peripheral outer face with respect to which the annular projection is shifted inwards, the side wall of the lid extending in the extension of said outer face of the frame for the closed position. So the lid brings a surplus of volume
- the annular projection has a substantially constant height and is arranged obliquely with respect to the upper face of the container.
- the inner skirt has a free end beveled on its outer side and is adjusted by all of its periphery against the inside of the frame. This has the effect of making more progressive and less hard the radial contact of the inner skirt against the inner face of the frame.
- the packaging comprises a metering device with a cup, the frame comprising, preferably on the hinge side, a tab retaining member delimiting with the inner face of the frame an upwardly open housing intended for the receiving a wall portion of the bucket of the measuring utensil, the inner skirt extending, in the closed position of the lid, to near said housing for cooperate with the bucket received in the housing.
- a metering device with a cup
- the frame comprising, preferably on the hinge side, a tab retaining member delimiting with the inner face of the frame an upwardly open housing intended for the receiving a wall portion of the bucket of the measuring utensil, the inner skirt extending, in the closed position of the lid, to near said housing for cooperate with the bucket received in the housing.
- the cover comprises radial ribs protruding from the inner skirt towards the inside of the lid, and joining the upper wall of the lid.
- the radial ribs towards the central axis stiffen the skirt and promote centering during closure.
- the frame has an outer edge adjacent to the annular projection, the outer edge of the frame being in contact, in the closed position of the lid, with the free edge of the side wall, the free edge of the side wall. having a width identical to the width of said outer edge.
- the invention also relates to a closure system for packaging comprising:
- the invention relates here to a closure system and to a package intended in particular for food products, this package comprising:
- a container extending along a central axis from a base to an upper face having an opening delimited by a frame, the frame having a radially inner side wall;
- a metering device having a bucket connected to a handle, sized to be arranged in the plane of the frame.
- the packaging of the aforementioned type comprising a metering device cup is characterized in that the inner side wall of the frame comprises at least one retaining member which has a base extending from the frame towards the central axis of the container and extended by a tab extending upwardly away from said inner side wall, the retaining member delimiting with the inner side wall an insertion housing adapted to receive with a small clearance a wall portion of the cup of the measuring utensil, the metering utensil being held in an internal storage position along the lid by the retaining member for said closed position.
- the lid has a tubular-shaped lateral wall and a transverse upper wall, the tab of the retaining member comprising an upper free end arranged, for the lid closing position, with a determined spacing in the direction of the central axis relative to the upper wall of the lid, 1 determined spacing being less than the depth of the bucket.
- the metering device attached to the retainer can not go back in the closed package and the bucket remains attached to the hook. There is therefore no risk of the metering device falling into the container with the food product.
- the frame has a height having a maximum at the side of the retaining member.
- the frame may have a lower height away from the body / support retaining, which facilitates the removal of the measuring utensil on the hook without touching the edges or the inside of the frame.
- the removal and extraction of the utensil are more intuitive for the user.
- the tongue extends on a height representing 40 to 80% of said maximum height of the frame.
- the frame has a gradually decreasing height profile away from the retaining member.
- the height of the frame varies about a factor of 2: 1 between its maximum and its minimum.
- the retaining member comprises at least three bearing zones each exerting pressure on a wall portion of the bucket to obtain a clamping of the bucket.
- the utensil is stalled reliably by one side.
- two of the support zones are each formed by a rib of the frame emerging towards the central axis.
- the ribs may have a triangular shape, with the maximum thickness near the inlet of the insertion housing to increase support when the bucket is fully inserted into the housing.
- the lid has a tubular inner skirt, a portion of which extends, in the closed position of the lid, to near said housing.
- the inner skirt is supported radially on an upper portion of said inner side wall of the frame and may contribute for example to maintaining the bucket in the housing.
- An object of the invention is also to provide a closure system for conveniently storing the measuring utensil at the closure device.
- a closure system for packaging comprising;
- a frame extending in a generally tubular shape about a central axis and defining an opening, the frame having a radially inner side wall; - A hinged cover on the frame and movable between an open position and a closed position for which it closes the opening from above; a measuring utensil having a bucket connected to a handle, dimensioned to be arranged in the plane of the frame; characterized in that the inner side wall of the frame comprises at least one retaining member which has a base extending from the frame towards the central axis and extended by a tongue extending axially upward away from said side wall the retaining member delimiting with the inner side wall an insertion housing adapted to receive with a slight clearance a wall portion of the bucket of the measuring utensil, the measuring utensil being held in an internal storage position on the along the cover by the retaining member for said closed position.
- this closure system which solves a storage problem of a measuring utensil, is usable independently of the locking system retained and / or independently of the presence of an inner skirt with the lid.

- Figure 8 is a sectional view along the plane VIII-VIII of the closure system in the closed position;
- Figure 9 is a view, along the same sectional plane as for Figure 1, illustrating in more detail the complementary shapes of the frame and the cover.
- the package 1 comprises a container 2 and a closure system 3.
- a locking device 4 as illustrated in particular in Figures 2A and 2B can equip the closure system 3.
- the container 2 is rigid or semi-rigid, for example metal, cardboard with a food coating or other suitable material for food packaging.
- This container 2 is open on one side opposite its bottom or base 20 and can have any shape: cylindrical, frustoconical, parallelepiped, with a constriction, etc. as can be appreciated by the skilled person.
- the container 2 has in the embodiment shown a tubular side wall 22 which extends from the base 20 along a central vertical axis Z to an upper face 23.
- the upper face 23 has a wide opening 24 surrounded by a frame or circumference 25.
- the container 2 with this wide opening 24 is adapted to contain powdered infant milk that must be extracted through the opening using of an appropriate utensil. It is therefore a relatively deep container that requires making the opening 24 in the widest possible way to facilitate the removal of the powder near the bottom 20 of the container 2.
- the opening 24 and the container 2 may be characterized by a substantially identical inner diameter.
- the closure system 3 firstly comprises a lid 31 of relatively convex shape, so that it can be considered that it has a substantially flat upper wall P, forming a bottom cover, and a side wall substantially coaxial with the central axis Z.
- the cover 31 also has an inner face facing the opening 24 in the closed position and which has generally the shape of a bowl because of the convex shape of the cover 31.
- the closure system 3 further comprises a frame 32 which defines the opening 24.
- the frame 32 may be fitted fittingly to an upper part or neck of the container 2.
- the frame 32 is secured with preferably irremovably to this part of the container 2, in particular by snapping, but this attachment could also be provided by gluing or welding.
- a groove 300 allows insertion and snapping of the neck of the container 2.
- the frame 32 could correspond to a border that is an integral part of the container 2.
- the opening 24 may be slightly narrowed relative to the section of the container, for example due to the presence of a shaving edge.
- the frame 32 may delimit an opening of different dimensions and preferably greater than that of the narrowed opening.
- the cover 31 and the frame 32 are hinged together by a connection allowing the cover 31 to be movable relative to the frame 32 and to the container 2 between an open position, shown in Figure 1, for which the opening 24 is widely accessible, and a closed position, shown in Figure 8, for which the cover 31 covers the opening. It is therefore a resealable package whose lid 31 is handled at each use, for example for the preparation of bottles.
- the link is here a hinge connection 30 whose pivot axis is perpendicular to the central axis Z.
- it is a hinge 30 made of plastic formed by a fold line, which allows to make the cover 31 and the frame 32 in one piece. This is a part obtained by injection into a mold of a plastic material, such as for example polypropylene.
- the hinge connection 30 can be obtained by two separate parts assembled, and it is also possible to provide another type of connection between the frame 32 and the cover 31.
- the lid 31 can then be removably mounted on the upper part or neck of the container 2.
- the frame 32 has a protruding member with a catch flange 33 used for locking.
- the locking device 4 comprises on the cover 31 a tab or locking plate 41 articulated on a pivot axis 400 perpendicular to the central axis Z.
- the plate 41 has on either side of the axis 400 a portion of actuating 410 and an engaging portion 420.
- the actuating portion 410 extends to a first free end 42 which is gripped from above in the closed position of the cover 31, while the engaging portion 420 s' extends in the opposite direction from the pivot axis 400 to a second free end 43.
- the plate 41 occupies a gripping position for which the hooking portion 420 engages with the engagement flange 33.
- the unlocking is effected by manually actuating the actuating portion 410 towards the end. central axis Z.
- the annular peripheral portion of the lid comprises a lateral wall 220 having a height at least equal to the height of the actuating portion 410 of the wafer 41.
- the upper face defined by the upper portion of the cover 31 has a depression 47 opening into the side wall 220.
- the depression 47 is formed in the side wall 220 of the cover 31 and can extend to the lower end of the cover 31.
- the depression 47 is defined by a recessed portion of the upper wall P of the cover 31 having a radially outward opening which is delimited by the geometry break with the outer profile of the entire cover 31. It should be noted that the portion Actuation 410 of the locking plate 41 is located at the outlet of the depression 47.
- the depression 47 preferably has an increasing depth towards the outlet of the depression 47, as can be seen in FIGS. 2A, 3A and 3B. . This allows the insertion of an index for example between the depression 47 and lock plate 41.
- the width of the depression 47 can also be increasing towards the lateral outlet.
- the depression 47 is then delimited by a U-shaped edge of the upper face of the cover 31.
- the shape of the depression 47 is chosen so that its outlet is wide enough for the user to easily hold between two fingers the operating zone of the locking plate 41.
- the locking plate 41 can then pivot in the depression 47 to take the unlock position.
- the locking plate has a large clearance due to the depression 47 of the cover 31.
- the free end 42 of the actuating portion 410 may be at least three times further from the axis 400 only the free end 43 of the hooking portion 420 is pivoted.
- the wafer 41 can therefore act as a lever, with a default lever return in the setting position facilitates locking.
- the locking plate 41 extends in the extension of the peripheral side wall 220 for the setting position.
- the cover 31 has a contour devoid of projection, allowing the stacking of several closure systems 3.
- FIG. 5 illustrates the continuity of the contour of the cover 31. Consequently, the entire locking device 4 is integrated in the outside profile of the entire cover 31, and even of the entire package 1 because of the correspondence between the profile of the lid 31 and the container portion 2 when the lower end of the cover 31 rests on the upper face of the frame 32.
- the locking plate 41 is connected to the side wall 220 of the cover 31 by at least two elements 440 of an elastic hinge.
- a spacing f adjacent to the depression 47 is formed between these two elements 440.
- This spacing f is in the extension of a continuous groove 60 formed between the side wall 220 and an inner skirt 21 of the lid 31.
- the frame 32 has an upper face which has a projecting annular projection 320 extending in the extension of the inner face of the side wall of the frame 32.
- a projection comprising the engagement flange 33 extends from this annular projection according to an ascending direction.
- the profile of the rim 33 can be simply rectangular.
- the engagement flange 33 for example protrudes away from the central axis Z so as to have a free end located near the inner face of the locking plate 41.
- the socket flange 33 fits into the spacing f between the side wall 220 and the hook portion 420, while pressing against the side wall 220.
- the engagement flange 33 is constituted by a portion of the frame 32 situated opposite the locking lug 41, and more precisely positioned on the outer periphery of the upper face of the frame 32.
- the cross section of the locking plate 41 is not necessarily a perfect rectangle.
- the radially inner face of the locking plate 41 may have one or more ribs for adjusting its rigidity, and therefore the force required to move the free end 43 away from the As illustrated in FIGS. 2A, 2B and 3A, the locking plate 41 may thus comprise a rib or similar reinforcing element R protruding toward the central axis Z. This reinforcing element R extends beyond above the spacing f and may constitute a stop for an upper face of the engagement flange 33, when the cover 31 is in the closed position.
- the engagement flange 33 may extend the outlet of the depression 47 when the lid 31 is in the closed position.
- the portion of the frame 32 projecting defining the engagement flange 33 can close the spacing f and be biased radially outwardly by the side wall 220 of the cover 31.
- the projection of the frame 32 is housed by default under l reinforcing element R for the closed position of the lid 31, when the pivoting locking plate 41 is not requested by the user.
- the hooking portion 420 may comprise one or more lugs 430 oriented radially inwardly relative to the central axis Z and engaging with the engagement flange 33 from below for the locking position.
- Each lug 430 generally has the shape of a projecting rib extending horizontally across the inner face of the locking plate 41 with a trapezoidal profile, quarter-round or substantially triangular.
- two spaced apart pins 430 may thus extend with increasing thickness from the free end 43 of the hooking portion 420 to a substantially horizontal level adjacent to the pivot axis 400 of the wafer. locking 41.
- a snap is thus obtained thanks to the lugs 430 of the hooking portion 420. Nevertheless, to obtain such snap, it is not absolutely necessary that the pins 430 or the attachment portion 420 necessarily has such a profile. Indeed, at least one lug 430 could have a different profile, for example the shape of a bead, in particular with a profile of the rim 33 substantially different from a rectangle.
- the lid 31 can then no longer pivot about the axis defined by the hinge 30 disposed opposite the locking device 4 or be lifted by a translational movement. In other words, it is thus understood that it is possible in the locking position to carry the package 1 by the gripping zone of the locking plate 41 without triggering the opening of the lid 31, since the actuating portion 410 is not pivoted towards the depression 47 of the cover 31.
- the purpose of the locking device 4 is to prevent unintentional exit of the product after a first opening when the lid has been torn off, but is not intended to achieve a tight closure as previously obtained with the operculum.
- the cover 31 furthermore comprises breakable linkage indicators 6, associated with the locking plate 41, to form a tamper evidence device testifying to the absence of tampering on the packaging.
- each of the tamper evidence 6 is in the form of a plastic tooth integrally formed with the lid 31.
- the tamper evidence 6 is attached on at least one side at the side wall 220 of the cover 31.
- One or more frangible links in the form of breakable bridges connect the indicator 6 to a lateral edge of the locking plate 41.
- the tamper evidence 6 has a trapezoidal shape and the frangible connection is located on a vertex remote from the side wall 220.
- the locking plate 41 has a semicircular edge to which the tamper evidence 6 are affixed frangibly before the first opening of the lid 31.
- the frangible connections with the tamper evidence 6 are preferably located laterally on either side of a median plane of the wafer 41 parallel to the central axis Z, and so as not to interfere with the operation of the locking plate 41.
- the median plane of the locking plate 41 is a plane of symmetry which passes through the central axis Z.
- the pivot axis 400 of the locking plate 41 is orthogonal to this median plane.
- Each of the burglar witnesses 6, preferably two in number, is arranged at the outlet of the depression 47 and each tooth which constitutes the witness 6 is shaped to extend in the extension of the outer profile of the entire cover 31.
- the fact of making the tamper evidence 6 integral with the cover 31 avoids a possible fall of these witnesses 6 inside the container 2.
- the connection of these witnesses 6 The concavity with the side wall 220 of the cover 31 is made at the edge formed between a lateral face of the depression 47 and a face of the lateral periphery of the cover 31.
- the cycle of use of package 1 can be performed as follows. After injection molding of the entire closure device 3 with the locking and tamper-proof devices (4, 6), a single piece is obtained which can be configured in the closed position with the lid 31 folded onto the frame 32 With the locking devices 4 and inviolability, this configuration is retained.
- the closure device 3 thus formed can then be easily mounted on the container 2 previously filled and sealed, for example by snapping.
- Package 1 is then ready for sale. Any manual opening attempt will result in breakage of at least one of the frangible links, and will therefore generally be readily detectable by the consumer.
- the user will pivot by pivoting of the wafer 41 the frangible links 6 burglar witnesses.
- the cover 31 can be moved.
- a pressure exerted on the outer zone, visible in FIG. 3B, of the actuating portion 410 and a slight pull upwards the user then place the lid 31 in the open position. As illustrated in FIGS.
- a protruding rib 450 may be provided on the outer face of the actuating portion 410, with for example the same shape as the free edge of the actuating portion 410 (C-shaped in the shown embodiment). This rib 450 facilitates the catch and the action of pressure exerted by the thumb on the actuating portion 410 to achieve the unlocking.
- the lid 31 can be curved and has a significant height (for example between 2 and 5 cm).
- the cover 31 thus has a side wall 220 which facilitates its handling and a top wall P to cover the opening 24.
- One or more objects, in particular a metering utensil 100 when the package contains milk powder, can then stored in the interior volume defined by the lid 31.
- the lid 31 is hinged to the frame 32 and the interior volume for the storage of the measuring utensil 100 is located between the opening 24 of the container and the upper wall P of the cover 31 for the closed position.
- the metering device 100 can be packaged in a bag and placed between the lid and the lid 31 in the package 1 ready for sale.
- the metering utensil 100 has a bucket 15 connected to a handle 16.
- the dimensions, in particular the length, of the utensil make it possible to arrange the latter in the plane of the frame 32.
- a single hooking zone is provided on the radially inner side wall of the frame 32 to hold the measuring utensil 100 in the upper part of the packaging by the bucket 15. 1.
- the frame 32 can here correspond both to a portion of the container 2 to an element attached to the container 2, as can be appreciated by those skilled in the art.
- the inner side wall comprises at least one retaining member which has a base b extending from the frame 32 towards the central axis Z of the container 2 and is extended by a tongue 5 extending towards the high distance from the inner wall of the frame 32.
- the retaining member defines with this inner side wall an insertion housing L adapted to receive with a small clearance a wall portion of the bucket 15 of the metering device 100.
- tongue 5 may be ribbed for a gain in rigidity, for example by means of two parallel ribs 55 projecting towards the central axis Z.
- the tongue 5 may have a generally rectangular profile or more generally adapted to the wall shape of the bucket 15 of the housing. metering device. At least a portion of the tongue 5 may be parallel to the central axis Z.
- the tongue 5 may comprise at least one free end in contact with the wall portion of the bucket 15 inserted in the housing L.
- the tongue 5 of the retaining member comprises an upper free end arranged, for the closed position of the cover 31, with a determined spacing relative to the wall P in the closed position of the lid 31.
- FIG. 7 illustrates the position of the metering device 100 to the frame 32 fixed by the retaining member.
- the handle 16 is disengaged with respect to the frame 32 and can be freely grasped by the user for the use of the metering device 100.
- the retention of the bucket 15 can be carried out with a reverse position of the bucket relative to the example of Figure 7, with the opening of the bucket upwards.
- the tongue 5 can be inserted in a hollow defined at the bottom of the bucket. More generally, one or more tongues of the aforementioned type can be used to grip at least one wall portion of the bucket 15.
- the retaining member comprises at least three bearing zones each exerting a pressure on the wall portion of the bucket 15 to obtain a clamping of the bucket 15 of the metering device 100.
- Two of these zones each support is for example formed by a rib 52 of the inner frame side wall 32, emerging towards the central axis Z.
- the third bearing zone is provided by the side of the tongue 5 vis-à-vis the inner side wall of the frame 32.
- ribs 52 in contact with the outside of the wall portion of the bucket.
- These ribs 52 ensure for example both a clamping and guiding function.
- the thickness of the ribs 52 decreases towards the bottom of the housing L, which bottom is formed by the base b of the retaining member.
- This configuration of the ribs 52 produces an initial axis of insertion into the housing L of the bucket wall portion 15 which is slightly inclined with respect to the direction of the central axis Z, as can be seen in FIG. tongue 5 however extends in a global direction substantially parallel to the central axis Z.
- the portion of the ribs 52 of greater thickness will then tighten further the bucket wall portion 15 placed in the housing L.
- the single attachment zone is situated on the hinge 30 side.
- the height of the frame 32 has a maximum H2 on the side of the retaining member, the height decreasing on either side of this maximum H2, preferably in a progressive manner, to reach a reduced height of the opposite side to this retainer.
- the cover 31 may have a plane of symmetry corresponding to the plane section of this Figure 1.
- This plane of symmetry may include the central axis Z and crosses respectively median hinge 30, the depression 47 and the plate 41 of the locking device.
- the profile of the cover 31 is complementary to the profile of the frame 32.
- the maximum H2 height of the frame 32 is thus located on the hinge side 30, while the maximum Hl height the cover 31 is located opposite, that is to say on the side of the locking device 4 in the example shown.
- the lid 31 therefore has a minimum height on the side of the hinge 30. This minimum is for example of the order of 1 or 2 cm and the maximum height Hl of the lid 31 is about double or triple compared to that minimum.
- the height of the metering device 100 in the fixing position on the retaining member (corresponding substantially to the depth of the bucket 15) is typically between 1 and 3 cm.
- the metering device 100 can therefore be positioned under the cover 31 in the closed position while being housed inside the volume defined by the cover 31 and the frame 32.
- the cover 31 comprises an inner skirt 21 making it possible to define with the outer side wall 220 of the cover 31 a continuous groove 60.
- This groove 60 can completely surround the inner skirt 21.
- the side wall 220 deviates radially from the central axis Z in direction of a free edge of this side wall 220.
- the inner skirt 21 is substantially cylindrical about the central axis Z for example.
- the inner skirt 21 and the side wall 220 preferentially share the same central axis Z in a coaxial configuration.
- the frame 32 has an upper face which defines a wide opening 24 through which the user can use a suitable tool powdered milk or similar content.
- the upper face of the frame 32 has a projecting annular projection 320 s' inserting in the groove 60 for the closed position of the lid 31.
- This annular projection 320 of the frame 32 thus contributes to a centering of the lid 31 during closure.
- the projecting annular projection 320 advantageously extends in the extension of the inner face of the side wall of the frame 32.
- the interior of the frame has a continuous appearance and preferably without a flange.
- the retaining member for the bucket 15 of the measuring utensil 100 is situated at a level lower than the annular projection 320.
- the entire inner side wall of the frame 32 located above the lid is smooth. At the point where the junction with the lid 31 is thus removed, any surface such as an interior rim where the milk powder could be deposited is removed. Practically, closing the lid 31 thus arranged can be done without any discomfort.
- annular projection 320 fits into the groove 60 without however reaching the bottom of this groove 60.
- the height of the annular projection 320 is, for example, between 1 and 4 mm. .
- Annular projection 320 extends mainly below a plane orthogonal to the central axis Z and passing through the axis of articulation of the hinge 30. In Figures 1, 4 and 7, it is visible that only a part the annular projection 320 near the hinge 30 protrudes above this plane (horizontal in the example of Figure 1) passing through the hinge 30.
- the inner skirt 21 preferably covers continuously an upper band of the inner side face of the frame 32 in this closed position and can thus fit by all of its periphery against the inside of the frame 32.
- the free end 210 of the inner skirt 21 is rounded or beveled to make more progressive the contact of the inner skirt 21 against the inner side wall of the frame 32 during the lowering of the lid 31.
- the inner skirt 21 may have, on the side close to the hinge 30 and on its inner face, one or more projecting contact surfaces for exerting, when closing the lid 31, a bearing on the cup 15 received in the body of the detention.
- This support makes it possible to drive the bucket wall portion inserted in the housing L in the direction of the base b.
- the protruding surface can be beveled to achieve this effect of driving the bucket 15 of the metering device 100 into the housing L.
- the effect produced by the projecting surface could, alternatively or additionally, lead to a beginning of lifting of the bucket during the operation of opening the lid 31.
- the hinge 30 it should be noted as illustrated in particular in Figure 7 that the depression 47 locally shrinks the tubular volume defined by the inner skirt 21.
- the frame 32 comprises an outer peripheral face with respect to which the annular projection 320 is shifted inwardly.
- the outer edge of the frame 32 adjacent to the annular projection 320 is covered by the edge of the side wall 220 as can be seen in FIG. 8.
- This edge-to-edge connection makes it possible to maintain a smooth external profile for the frame-cover assembly, the outer skirt formed by the side wall 220 joining and extending the outer face of the frame 32 for the closed position.
- the side wall 220 and the inner skirt 21 meet and form, in vertical section, the branches of a Y, as illustrated in FIGS. 8 and 9.
- the side wall 220 of the cover 31 is preferably in radial contact with the annular projection 320 for the closing position of the lid 31.
- the inner skirt 21 provided to internally cover the entire projection 320 annular frame 32 is also in radial contact with the annular projection 320 for the closed position, it is understood that the sealing of the closing is advantageously reinforced.
- the profile of the junction between the cover 31 and the frame 32 is curved and generally oblique, with the maximum height Hl of the cover 31 opposite the hinge 30.
- the profile of the side wall 220 of the lid 31 has a gradually decreasing height towards the hinge 30.
- the frame 32 has a side wall whose height decreases gradually to the area where the edge is located taking 33.
- the annular projection 320 has a height preferably constant and therefore has the same oblique profile as the side wall of the frame 32.
- the oblique profile of the junction from the hinge 30 and the rounded or beveled shape at the free end of the inner skirt 21 make the engagement of the skirt Inner 21 with the inner side wall of the frame 32 more progressive when closing the lid 31. Therefore, the effort exerted by the user is more continuous, which increases the comfort of use. Indeed, it avoids a sudden engagement of the cover 31 on the frame 32 which generates a hard point of contact.
- the inner skirt 21 may extend below the edge-to-edge level between the cover 31 and the frame 32 for the closed position.
- the cover 31 may comprise radial ribs protruding from the inner skirt 21 towards the inside of the cover 31 to stiffen the latter. These ribs have for example a triangular profile and join the upper wall P of the lid 31.
- ribs have for example a triangular profile and join the upper wall P of the lid 31.
- the embodiment described above is in no way limiting and many variations on the geometry of the parts constituting the locking devices. tamper or bucket retainer 15 can be made without departing from the scope of the invention as claimed.
- the closure system 3 has been described in two parts with a cover 31 articulated or more generally removable relative to a frame 32 which is mounted on the container 2, it is clear that the cover 31 can seal the opening 24 by direct mounting on a container 2 of corresponding shape, with or without articulation by a hinge.
