Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for capping a container neck.
  • a container In the field of liquid packaging, it is widely used to equip the neck, threaded or not threaded, a container with a closure device, usually molded plastic, which comprises a cap pivotally supported by a base generally tubular, intended to be immobilized around the neck.
  • a closure device usually molded plastic, which comprises a cap pivotally supported by a base generally tubular, intended to be immobilized around the neck.
  • This type of device commonly referred to as “sport cap” or “sport-cap” is used to allow the user to drink directly from the neck of the container after tilting the cap into a position sufficiently away from the base to allow the flow of liquid contained in the container through this base.
  • the cap and the base are connected to each other by tamperproof means able to at least partly broken during the first opening of the device.
  • These inviolability means thus in principle give the user a visual indication of whether the device he manipulated was previously opened. This visual indication is obvious when at least part of the inviolability means is completely separated from the rest of the device.
  • this separate part generally small, poses a safety problem, since it is likely to be ingested or inhaled, as well as a problem of respect for the environment, since the user tends to get rid of it without taking the precaution of putting it in the trash.
  • tamper-proof means consist in that at least some of these means can be sufficiently separated from the rest of the device, to provide a sufficient visual indication, while remaining permanently linked to device, typically by an elongated non-breakable material link.
  • this part of the partially detached tamper evident means frequently causes discomfort for the user when he drinks directly at the neck of the container.
  • this partially detached portion is generally of sufficient length to be easily seized and twisted several times by the user, until completely separated from the closure device, with the safety and environmental concerns mentioned above.
  • a third known solution is to reinforce the tamperproof means to avoid their separation vis-à-vis the rest of the device, except for one or more restricted frangible zones at which a very localized rupture occurs during the first opening.
  • the visibility of the broken state or incorporates inviolability means is very low, forcing the user to meticulously observe the device to see if it was opened a first time.
  • a closure device comprising all the features of the preamble of claim 1 is known from the document WO 2004/007313 .
  • the object of the present invention is to improve the tamper-proof means of tilting cap closure devices or, more generally, movable cap of the same kind, so that, while being effective, these means have better visibility and limit the risks that they may be, even in part, separated from the rest of the capping device.
  • the subject of the invention is a device for plugging a neck of a container, as defined in claim 1.
  • the idea underlying the invention is to provide, as tamper-proof means, a system based on the principle of "a wire to break" forming a mechanical fuse.
  • the strand of material provides the user with a remarkably clear and unambiguous visual indication as to whether or not the cap has been opened a first time, that is to say if this cap has been moved from its closed position to its open position, moreover without necessarily reaching the latter. To do this, as long as the device according to the invention has not been opened a first time, this strand of material is intact, that is to say not broken.
  • the rupture of the strand of material is linked to the presence of the "breaker" finger, in the sense that, during the first opening of the device, the relative displacement between the strand and this finger leads to the fact that the finger applies mechanical stresses sufficiently strong on the current part of the strand to cause the rupture of the latter.
  • the strand of material is thus necessarily broken: due to the structural flexibility of the strand of material and the presence of the finger, the broken strand then presents a configuration different from the configuration it presented before breaking, which is immediately observed by the user.
  • the strand of material before breaking, extends in a peripheral direction of the device, so that, after breaking of the strand, no portion of the latter extends radially outwardly projecting: the presence of the broken strand does not interfere with the user to drink directly out of the device and the risks that the user can easily grasp and twist several turns all or part of the broken strand are weak, see almost zero. If this occurs, the dimensions of the detached strand portion would then advantageously be too small to seal the airway if swallowed.
  • FIG. 1 On the Figures 1, 2 and 3A to 3C there is shown a device 1 for capping a neck 2 of a container such as a bottle.
  • a container such as a bottle.
  • the remainder of the present description is oriented so that the terms "upper” and “top” denote a direction directed away from the body 3 of the bottle relative to its neck 2 when the bottle is upright. on a horizontal surface, this direction being thus directed towards the upper part of the Figures 1, 2 and 3A to 3C .
  • the terms “lower” and “lower” denote a direction in the opposite direction.
  • the same conventions will be used to describe further the Figures 4A to 4C , 5 , 6 and 7A to 7C.
  • the device 1 comprises a base 10 having a tubular overall shape centered on an axis X-X.
  • the base 10 comprises a main body 11 of tubular form with essentially circular base centered on the X-X axis.
  • the body 11 is adapted to be fixedly attached around the bottle neck 2, here by screwing: this body is thus provided with an internal thread 12 complementary to an external thread 4 of the neck, while the outer face of the body 11 is provided with longitudinal ribs 13 facilitating the gripping of the base 10 to screw around the neck.
  • the base 10 also includes a teat 14 having a generally tubular shape, centered on the axis XX and converging upwards.

  • the wall of a cylindrical sealing skirt 15 adapted for be pressed against the inner face of the upper end of the neck 2 when the base 10 is fixed to the neck, as shown in FIG. figure 2 .
  • the nipple 14 is closed by a horizontal bottom wall 16 which delimits, in its central region, a cylindrical opening 16 1 .
  • the base 10 further comprises a band 17 for assembling a cap 20.
  • the cap and the band are made here in one piece.
  • the cap 20 has a generally tubular shape centered on a longitudinal axis YY.
  • the cap has for this purpose a tubular main body 21, centered on the YY axis and converge slightly upwards.
  • the body 21 is closed, at one of its longitudinal ends, by a bottom wall 22, which extends in a plane perpendicular to the axis YY and which is provided on its face directed towards the inside of the body. 21, a cylindrical sealing skirt 22 1 .

  • the cap 20 is tilting about a Z 20 -Z geometric articulation axis 20 which extends in a generally orhoradial direction to the axes XX and YY.
  • This axis Z 20 -Z 20 is located in a portion considered as rear of the base 10, in the sense that this portion of the base is directed away from the user who manipulates the device 1.
  • the cap 20 thus passes. , advantageously in a reversible manner, between its closed and open positions by generally tilting about the axis Z 20 -Z 20 , an intermediate tilting position being partially represented in phantom lines on the figure 2 .
  • the latter is provided with a front tab 23, which extends in the plane of the bottom wall 22 and which overhangs a depression 24 formed by the front of the body 21.
  • a user can place one of his fingers in the depression 24 and press against the surface of the tab 23, facing the depression, in order to apply a force F 1 directed upwards and in a direction substantially parallel to the axis YY, as shown in FIG. figure 2 .
  • the assembly strip 17 comprises a main body 17 1 generally annular, adapted to be fixedly attached and coaxial with the rest of the base 10.
  • the body 17 1 is received and immobilized, in particular by snapping, in a complementary housing 18 delimited jointly by the upper end of the body 11, the wall 15 and the lower end of the nipple 14, as clearly visible in the left part of the figure 2 .
  • the body 17 1 is, in a rear portion, permanently connected and deformably to the body 21 of the cap 20, forming one or more strips 17 2 .
  • This or these lamellae 17 2 form a flexible hinge type articulated connection between the cap 20 and the band 17, defining the Z 20 -Z 20 tilting axis.
  • the device 1 further comprises, as tamper-proof means, a strand of material 30 and a finger 40.
  • the strand 30 is permanently connected to the body 21 of the cap 20: the front portion 21 1 of this body 21 is for this purpose perforated radially from one side, that is to say that this portion 21 1 defines a window through which the lower edge, which extends in the peripheral direction of the body 21, is constituted by the strand 30.
  • the strand 30 and the body 21 are made in one piece, in particular by molding, so that , as clearly visible on the figure 3A the longitudinal ends 30 1 and 30 2 of the strand are integral with the body portion 21 1 .
  • the upper edge of the window 25 is sufficiently distant from the strand 30 for the window to receive the finger 40 which protrudes outwardly from a front portion 14 1 of the nipple 14, at the bottom of the window. the latter.
  • the finger 40 is integral with the nipple 14, which facilitates the manufacture by molding in one piece with the base 10.
  • the finger 40 has a decreasing radial dimension downwards: at its upper side 40 1 , the thickness of the finger 40, that is to say its radial dimension protruded by compared to the outside face of the front nipple portion 14 1 , is almost zero, whereas, at its lower side 40 2 , this thickness is maximum, so that the finger 40 delimits, on its lower side 40 2 , a face 41 directly opposite, in the direction XX, of the running part 30 3 of the strand 30 until the device 1 has not yet been opened for the first time, as illustrated in FIGS. Figures 1, 2 and 3A .
  • this face 41 is shaped in a point directed downwards, that is to say that it includes two surfaces substantially flat and converging towards each other in the direction of the bottom, joining together forming a angular zone pointing the central portion of the strand portion 30 3 .
  • this central portion has a thinned vertical thickness, that is to say that its dimension in the direction of the axis XX is smaller than that of the rest of the strand 30. To this end, this central portion delimits a notch 31 in which is received the angular zone of the face 41, as clearly visible on the figures 1 and 3A .
  • the base 10 In order to manufacture the device 1, on the one hand, the base 10, except for its band 17, and the finger 40, advantageously obtained in one piece by molding a plastic material, are provided on the other hand.
  • the plastics used are chosen from, among others, polypropylene and polyethylene.
  • the cap 20 is then assembled to the body 11 of the base 10, by snapping the band 17 into the housing 18.
  • the strand 30 must cross the finger 40, from top to bottom, without being damaged.
  • the face 42 of this finger due to the increasing radial thickness of the finger 40, the face 42 of this finger, facing outwards, forms a ramp against which the strand 30 slides progressively during the introduction of the cap 20 relative to In fact, this ramp face 42 progressively forces the running portion 30 3 of the strand 30 outwards, the flexibility of the strand then being used to allow this running portion 30 3 to cross the finger 40.
  • this running part 30 3 is below the level of the face 41, this running part 30 3 then positioning itself naturally just below this face, by elastic return of the material constituting the strand 30, in particular of its ends 30 1 and 30 2 .
  • the device 1 is then in the configuration illustrated in FIGS. Figures 1, 2 and 3A .
  • the use of the device 1 is as follows. Initially, it is considered that the bottle neck 2 is closed by the device 1 not yet opened for the first time, as shown in FIGS. Figures 1, 2 and 3A .
  • the user who wishes to open the device drives the cap 20 by tilting around the axis Z 20 -Z 20 , by applying the drive force F 1 to the tab 23, thanks to one of his fingers introduced into the depression 24.
  • the strand 30 then induces a resistance to the drive of the cap: the current portion 30 3 of the strand 30 is then pressed against the face 41 of the finger 40, until breaking the strand break at the notch 31, since the latter is less thick and sudden a greater stress due to the angular zone of the face 41.
  • the strand 30 is then completely broken, in the sense that, by spacing the edges 31A and 31B of the broken notch 31, the strand consists of two distinct parts 30A and 30B, which are respectively connected to the two lateral sides of the window 25 by the strand ends 30 1 and 30 2 and which, opposite the ends 30 1 and 30 2 , respectively terminate at the edges 31A and 31B of the broken notch 31.
  • the strand 30 and the finger 40 thus prove to be excellent inviolability means: before the first opening of the device 1, the user can visually ensure that the strand 30 is intact, this strand being particularly well observable by the since this strand 30 had been broken before the user manipulated the device 1 while the cap 20 was returned to its closed position, the strand portions 30A and 30B would be no longer in their initial configuration but, in view of the presence of the projecting finger 40 disposed between them interposed between the edges 31A and 31B, these portions 30A and 30B would advantageously occupy the configuration shown in FIG.
  • FIG. 3C here, as indicated by the arrows F 3 , these strand portions 30A and 30B are tilted by deformation of their end 30 1 and 2 , respectively by pressing against surfaces 43A and 43B delimited by the finger 40, on these two sides lateral opposed. To do this, these surfaces 43A and 43B diverge relative to each other downwards.
  • the strand 30 breaks as described just above as soon as the cap 20 reaches an intermediate position between the open and closed positions, this intermediate position being provided sufficiently close to the closed position to ensure that the seal between the cap and the teat 14 is effectively maintained, in particular at the level of the skirt 22 1 in sealing engagement against the wall delimiting the opening 16 1 . It is understood that this skirt and / or this wall have a certain elasticity allowing them to obtain a tight contact despite the small gap upwardly of the cap 20 vis-à-vis the base 10.
