Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for plugging a neck of a container.
  • a container In the field of liquid conditioning, it is known to equip the neck, threaded or not threaded, a container with a closure device, generally made of plastic, which comprises a cap hinged on a support between a closed position and an open position.
  • This support of tubular overall shape, is itself intended to be immobilized around the neck. This kind of device is often provided to allow the user to drink directly at the neck of the container.
  • a closure device comprising a support defining a first longitudinal axis, and a plug.
  • the support comprises a latching tongue extending along a second transverse axis perpendicular to the first axis: this tongue is engaged in an opening of the cap to retain the latter in the closed position.
  • the stopper exerts on the stopper a lateral pressure along a third axis which is perpendicular to the first and second axes: the stopper then takes the form of an ovoid section, which releases the latching tongue vis-à-vis the aforementioned opening of the cap.
  • the user does not have the guarantee that the closure device he handles has not been previously opened.
  • the contents of the container equipped with the device could thus be in contact with the outside air since the initial capping of the container, because of a possible rupture of sealed contact between the plug and the support, before the first opening by the consumer.
  • one or more frangible bridges are interposed between the band and the plug so that the driving of the cap from a closed initial position, in which it is in sealing contact with the support, to an open position, in which it is disengaged with respect to the support, causes deformation and then rupture of these bridges.
  • the purpose of the present invention is to provide a closure device of the type of WO-A-95/07223 which, while being easy to use for the consumer, prevents the device from being opened once, accidentally or maliciously, without leaving a visible trace.
  • the subject of the invention is a closure device for a container neck, as defined in claim 1.
  • the consumer needs only a weak force to open the cap. Indeed, once the user has pressed laterally on the cap, the latching tongue is released following the breaking of the bridges.
  • the device is sufficiently robust to ensure a satisfactory degree of security due to the combination of the tamper-evident band and the attachment tab.
  • it is ensured that the seal between the cap and the pourer is ensured when the bridges are not broken.
  • FIG. 1 to 5 there is shown a device 1 for capping a container 2 partially visible only to Figures 1 and 2 .
  • This container is for example a PET (polyethylene terephthalate) bottle containing a liquid food, such as mineral water, or other.
  • the device 1 comprises a tubular support 4 which defines a central longitudinal axis X-X.
  • This support 4 is positioned on a neck 3 of the container 2 by screwing with a helical external threading disposed on a portion of the neck.
  • a lower part of the support 4 comprises regularly distributed external ribs, making it easier to grip and screw on the neck 3 of the receptacle 2.
  • a pourer 6, forming an upper part of the support 4 is of substantially ovoid cross-section with its largest dimension parallel to an axis YY perpendicular to the axis XX.
  • the cup of the pourer 6, shown on the figure 4 thus has an outer elliptical profile whose main axis coincides with the YY axis and whose secondary axis is substantially aligned on an axis ZZ perpendicular to both the axis XX and the axis YY.
  • the spout 6 includes an attachment tab 8 projecting from the elliptical body of the spout along the Y-axis.
  • This tongue 8 is supported by a fin 9 which extends parallel to the X-X and Y-Y axes between the tongue 8 and an upper annular surface 41 of the support 4.
  • the parts 4, 6, 8 and 9 are here constituted of the same holder, in particular by thermoforming a plastic material chosen among, inter alia, the polypropylene and polyethylene.
  • the pourer 6 is provided with an opening 10 allowing the liquid of the container 2 to flow towards the outside of the container 2.
  • the support 4 is also provided with two elongate ramps 12, arranged along the axis ZZ on either side of the spout 6 on the upper annular surface 41. These ramps 12 are placed so that their end 12A turned towards the spout 6 has a thickness greater than their end 12B turned towards the outside of the support 4.
  • the device 1 comprises a plug 14 articulated on the support 4.
  • the plug 14 In a first so-called closed position, represented on the figure 1 , the plug 14 seals the opening 10 of the pourer 6 in order to prevent the flow of the liquid contained in the container 2.
  • the tongue 8 is engaged in a through opening 24 made in the plug 14.
  • the plug 14 In a second position called open, represented on the figure 2 , the plug 14 has pivoted about an axis Z1-Z1 parallel to the axis ZZ and passing two hinge lamellae 18 connecting the plug 14 to a portion 16 fixedly secured to the support 4.
  • the device 1 is also provided with a tamper-evident band 20 of annular section.
  • the strip 20, carried by the support 4, is connected to the plug 14 in the closed position by at least one bridge 22 frangible.
  • two sets of two bridges 22 are arranged on either side of the spout 6, in opposite manner along the axis ZZ.
  • the device 1 comprises fins 26, represented on the figure 5 interposed between the strip 20 and the support 4. On the figure 5 the fins 26 are connected to the support 4. They may be fixed by gluing on the support or directly made by thermoforming with the support. These fins 26 are protrusions made of rigid plastic, regularly distributed over the perimeter of the support 4.
  • the device 1 may be provided with a peripheral rib interposed between the strip 20 and the support 4.
  • the rib may be disposed over the entire perimeter of the support 4 and made by thermoforming.
  • the plug 14, the fixed part 16 and the strips 18 are made in one piece, in particular by thermoforming a plastic material selected from, inter alia, polypropylene and polyethylene.
  • the user When the user wishes to proceed to the first opening of the plug 14, it exerts a pressure along the axis ZZ.
  • the pressure is represented on the figure 6 by two arrows F.
  • the bridges 22 located in a portion of the strip 20 through which the ZZ axis passes are broken.
  • the stopper 14 then takes a substantially ovoidal cross-sectional shape, in particular in its portion delimiting the opening 24, as shown in FIG. figure 6 .
  • the opening ramps 12 are an ovalisation aid, in particular when the user does not exert the lateral pressures rigorously along the axis ZZ.
  • the presence of the fins 26 and / or the aforementioned rib can guide the fall of the strip 20.
  • the consumer can thus perfectly control visual way that he is the author of the first opening of the container 2.
  • a second step when the lateral pressure along the axis ZZ continues to be exerted, the tongue 8 disengages from the through opening 24.
  • the plug 14 can then pass into its open position by tilting around the axis Z1 -Z 1.
  • the spout 6 of ovoid section along the Y-Y axis matches the shape of the mouth of the user. He is thus urged to take the spout in his mouth in this very determined direction. He is not bothered by the plug 14.
  • the sealing of the opening 10 of the pourer 6 by the stopper 14 is maintained as long as the stopper has not reached, from its closed position, an intermediate position which is only accessible to the stopper 'after the total disengagement of the tongue 8 vis-à-vis the opening 24.
  • the first opening of the device 1 when the user finds that the bridges 22 are not broken, it has a warranty reliable that this device has not been sabotaged, that is to say that the cap has not been previously manipulated so as to break the seal of the device to render unfit for consumption the contents of the container 2 equipped with the device 1.
  • the consumer can choose to close the cap 14.
  • the first closed position is found, with the difference that the tamper band 20 remains in the defined position following its fall.
  • the upper face of the latching tongue 8 may form, at its free end, a ramp 8A inclined upwards to the figure 7 , that is to say in the direction of the opening 10, approaching the axis XX.
  • an inclined ramp 141A may be provided on the lower end 141 of the plug 14, opposite the hinge blades 18 and intended to come into contact with the latching tongue 8
  • This ramp 141 is arranged such that, when the plug 14 is in the closed position, the ramp is inclined in the same direction as the ramp 8A formed on the tongue 8, that is to say in the direction of the opening 10 of the spout 6, approaching the axis XX.
  • the two ramps 8A and 141A can be directly made by thermoforming during the manufacture of the tongue 8 and the plug 14. The replacement of the plug 14 to its closed position is thus facilitated by the presence of these inclined ramps, which slide on each other.
  • the figure 7 illustrates another optional arrangement of the device 1, which in practice can be combined with the arrangements described just above and which consists in providing that the underside of the latching tongue 8 forms, at its free end, a slope inclined 8B towards the top approaching the axis XX, while the lower edge of the opening 24 defines an inclined slope 24A complementary to the slope 8B.
  • the presence of these slopes 8B and 24A avoids being able to disengage from the opening 24 the tongue 8 as the plug 14 does not undergo a clear bias to be ovalized.
  • the plug 14 is only slightly ovalized while it is driven from its closed position to its open position, the lower and upper ends respectively of the slopes 8B and 24A come into contact with one another: the slopes 8B and 24A then slide against each other so that the free end of the tongue 8 is then mechanically retained in the opening 24.
  • the relative sliding contact between these slopes does not interfere with the additional ovalization of the cap 14 by the user.
