Definitions
- Device indicating at least one piece of information representative of the use-by date of a liquid food contained in a container
- the field of the invention is that of containers for packaging food liquids.
- the invention relates more particularly to bottle-type containers, or other similar containers such as bricks ..., especially those having a neck portion closed by a plug.
- Prior Art Food liquids are generally vacuum packed in sealed containers.
- this storage mode gives the liquid that it contains a relatively long shelf life, which expires at the expiry date mentioned on the container.
- the liquid food packaged in this way can thus be kept up to several months for some since the container is not loosened.
- the shelf life of the liquid it contains is greatly reduced by contact with the air. It is thus recommended, for sanitary and, where appropriate, organoleptic reasons, to consume the liquid contained in the receptacle for a period that generally does not exceed more than a few days after the first opening.
- this technique is not accessible to all consumers. In particular, it is not intended for young children or people who do not know how to read or write.
- the invention particularly aims to overcome these disadvantages of the prior art.
- an object of the invention is to provide, in at least one embodiment, a technique allowing the consumer of a liquid food packaged in a container to know precisely the deadline for consumption after it. was opened for the first time, or at least to know information representative of this deadline.
- Another object of the invention is to implement, in at least one embodiment, such a technique that is suitable for any type of consumer, be it a child or an adult.
- the invention aims to deliver, in at least one embodiment, such a technique that is ergonomic, fun and easy to use.
- the invention also aims to provide, in at least one embodiment, such a technique that is versatile.
- the invention aims to provide, in at least one embodiment, such a technique that can be implemented for containers for liquid food of different types and sizes.
- Another object of the invention is to provide, in at least one embodiment, such a technique which is reliable, robust and environmentally friendly.
- the invention also aims to provide, in at least one embodiment, such a technique that is simple and inexpensive to implement.
- a removable device indicating at least one representative information of the expiry date of a liquid food after first opening a container in which said liquid is conditioned, said container being of bottle type having a neck portion and comprising a plug closing said neck, said indicator device comprising a hollow body housing: triggering means of the determination of less information representative of a duration; means for determining information representative of the time elapsed since said triggering; means for communicating at least one piece of information representative of said elapsed time, said hollow body having reversible securing means for said plug.
- a container within the meaning of the invention comprises a container and a cap closing this container.
- the invention is based on a completely original approach for communicating to the consumer of a liquid food packaged in a container information representative of the expiry date of the liquid after first opening the container in which it is conditioned.
- This approach consists in the implementation of an independent and removable indicator device to be reported and reversibly secured or cap of the container.
- the consumer can remove the indicator device according to the invention before joining it again on a newly opened container.
- a device according to the invention therefore has the advantage of being reusable. It is therefore not a consumable and disposable device which limits its impact on the environment.
- Such a device comprises means for determining information representative of a duration, such as, for example, an elapsed time or a remaining time resulting from the countdown of a given duration.
- a device comprises means for displaying information representative of the expiry date of the liquid food after first opening the container in which it is conditioned.
- An indicator device then operates in the following manner.
- a consumer opens a container for the first time, it secures an indicator device according to the invention to the cap of this container.
- the triggering means to implement the means for determining information representative of the food consumption limit date after the first opening.
- This information may for example consist of measuring the time elapsed since the first opening or the countdown of a time over a given period, the given period corresponding to the duration after opening beyond which the liquid is unfit for consumption. For example, if we consider that a liquid can not be consumed beyond a period of ten days after the first opening of the container in which it is conditioned the count will be that of a period of ten days.
- This information is then communicated to the consumer. It may for example take the form of an indication on a display screen of the elapsed time since the first opening or the time remaining until the liquid consumption deadline has been reached. It can also take the form of a green light emitting light until the deadline for consumption is reached and turning red as soon as this date is reached. It can also take the form of a sound signal issued as soon as the use-by date is reached. Thus, depending on the method of dissemination selected, the information communicated may be accessible to all categories of people.
- said securing means belong to the group comprising: - the securing means by clipping; the friction fastening means.
- an indicator device is securely and securely connected to the stopper of a container inside which a food liquid is packaged.
- An indicator according to the invention can thus be installed and removed easily.
- said determination means belong to the group comprising: chronometers; countdowns. This makes it possible to measure or to count down the time elapsing since the first opening, which constitutes information representative of the expiry date of a liquid food after first opening of the container in which it is conditioned.
- said tripping means comprise a contactor.
- a contactor can be operated directly by the consumer or automatically during the establishment of the indicator on the container when the arrangement allows, which facilitates the use.
- said communication means belong to the group comprising: display screens; light sources; the sound sources.
- said device constitutes a removable over-cap.
- the term "removable cap” means an element that caps the cap covering a large part or the entire outer surface thereof to reversibly bond to it in such a way that the plug and the on-cap are integral with each other.
- an over-cap may have a cam shape. Such a shape facilitates the unscrewing of the assembly constituted by the cap and the overcap. This may be useful because it is not uncommon for some containers, such as for example the containers consisting of a Tetrapack ® packaging, are for some users, difficult to open, especially during the first opening.
- said hollow body has two interior chambers separated by a partition, a first of said receptacle chambers for said triggering means, said determining means and said communication means, the second of said chambers having an inner contour complementary to the outer contour of said plug .
- This implementation makes it possible to secure the indicator device according to the invention by engaging it on the cap of a container.
- said partition is flexible, said contactor being positioned in said first chamber near said flexible partition.
- An indicator device advantageously comprises a cover closing said first chamber.
- This cover can be removable in which case the user can for example access and replace the batteries necessary for the operation of the device. According to another approach, this cover is not removable so as to prevent the user from damaging the means integrated in the device.
- said body and / or said lid is at least partially translucent.
- FIG. 1 shows a diagram illustrating a first embodiment of an indicator according to the invention forming on-cap placed on the cap of a container containing a liquid food
- FIG. 2 illustrates a perspective and transparency view of the hollow body of the indicator device illustrated in FIG. 1;
- FIG. 3 illustrates a perspective and transparency view of another embodiment of the hollow body of an indicator device according to the invention
- Figures 4a and 4b respectively show a lower perspective view and transparency and a perspective view of a further embodiment of the hollow body of an indicator device according to the invention
- Figures 5a, 5b and 5c show views in perspective and transparency of hollow body provided with different embodiments of cover of an indicator device according to the invention.
- FIG. 6 shows a perspective view of a second embodiment of an indicator according to the invention forming an overcap placed on the stopper of a container containing a food liquid
- FIG. 7 represents a view of top of the container with the over-cap according to Figure 6.
- the general principle of the invention is based on the implementation of a removable indicator device so as to communicate to the consumer (s) of a liquid food packaged in a container including a container and a cap closing the neck of the containing, information representative of its expiry date after the first opening of the container.
- an indicator device comprises a hollow body which has means for reversibly joining the cap of the receptacle, and which houses means for triggering the determination of at least one piece of information representative of a duration, means determining information representative of the time elapsed since said triggering, and means for communicating at least one piece of information representative of said elapsed time.
- FIG. 1 a first embodiment of a removable indicator device according to the invention is presented.
- such a removable indicator device 10 is intended to be reversibly secured to the stopper 11 enclosing a bottle-type container 12 by screwing inside which is packaged a liquid food, for example orange juice, milk ...
- the indicator device according to the invention constitutes, in this embodiment, a removable "over-cap”.
- an indicator device comprises a hollow body 20.
- This hollow body 20 defines a first 21 and a second 22 inner chambers.
- This first chamber 21 may have an inner contour of substantially cylindrical shape, as shown in Figure 2, or substantially parallelepiped shape, as shown in Figure 3 or another contour.
- the first inner chamber 21 includes an electronic card (not shown) on which are particularly reported: means for triggering the determination of at least one information representative of a duration; means for determining information representative of the duration elapsed since said triggering; means for communicating at least one piece of information representative of said elapsed time.
- the choice of the inner contour of the first chamber is related to the shape of the electronic card intended to be housed therein.
- the triggering means may take the form of a contactor which can be directly manually operated by a consumer. According to another embodiment, it may also be a contactor which is positioned in such a way that it is actuated directly by simply securing the indicator device to the plug.
- the means for determining information representative of the time elapsed since the trigger can for example take the form of a timer which measures the time elapsed since its activation. Alternatively, they may include a countdown that counts down the time since its activation. In this case, it also includes means for programming the duration of the count.
- the means for communicating at least one piece of information representative of the elapsed time may, for example, take the form of a display screen capable of indicating the time elapsed since the first opening or the time remaining before the use-by date.
- food liquid is reached.
- It may also be light sources such as diodes, which for example emit a green light as long as the liquid food remains fit for consumption, or emit a red light as soon as the expiry date of this liquid after the first opening is reached.
- these communication means comprise a sound source which emits a signal as soon as the liquid food is unfit for consumption and the container is handled (in this case, the indicator device according to the invention).
- inventions may comprise means capable of detecting a movement of the container), or as soon as a control button is actuated. In the latter case, it may be implement on the indicator a control button that the consumer operates before consuming the liquid food to check if it can still be consumed. If the liquid food can still be consumed, the activation of this control button will be followed by no sound emission or the issuance of a message alerting that the liquid is consumable. If the liquid consumption deadline has been reached, the activation of this control button will be followed by the emission of an audible signal or an alert message of the type "the expiry date has passed". .
- the second chamber 22 constitutes the reversible connection means of the indicator device 10 according to the invention to the cap 11 of the bottle 12.
- this second chamber 22 has an inner contour of complementary shape of the outer contour of the plug 11.
- the first 21 and second 22 chambers are separated by a membrane 40, as it appears more clearly in Figure 4b relating to another embodiment of the hollow body. It can be expected that this membrane 40 is flexible. This is particularly the case when the triggering means comprise a contactor which is positioned in such a way that it is actuated directly by simply securing the indicator device to the plug.
- the first chamber 21 can be closed by means of a cover 50.
- This cover 50 conceals and protects the electronic card housed inside the first chamber 21. It can be secured to the hollow body 20 in the same way that it is secured to the plug 11, that is to say by press fitting. As shown in Figures 5a, 5b and 5c, it can also be secured by clipping. In this case, it may be provided to form a groove 51 on the outer circumference of the hollow body 20 and a complementary shaped bead 52 on the inner circumference of the lid 50 (see Figure 5a). It may also be provided to form on the hollow body 20 a resilient circular hook 52 complementary housing formed for this purpose in the cover 50 (see Figure 5b).
- the hollow body can be formed on the hollow body four elastic hooks 53 uniformly distributed complementary housing provided for this purpose in the cover 50 (see Figure 5c).
- these four hooks 53 can define a first chamber 21 of substantially parallelepiped shape adapted to accommodate the electronic card.
- the cover 50 may be removable so that the user can replace the batteries necessary for the operation of the indicator device when they are used. According to another approach, this cap is not removable so as to prevent a consumer from damaging its contents. This can also help to prevent the seal between the lid and the hollow body from being broken. In the variant according to which the communication means comprise light sources, the cover 50 will preferably be partially translucent so as to let the light pass.
- the hollow body 20 and the cap 50 are preferably made of polypropylene or polyethylene. These elements can therefore be recycled. It is noted that in order to recycle the cap, the electronic part that is housed therein is removed beforehand.
- the activation of the triggering means generates the implementation of the means for determining information representative of the time elapsed since the trigger.
- these determination means comprise a stopwatch, they make it possible to measure the time elapsed since the activation of the triggering means.
- these determination means comprise a countdown, they make it possible to count down the time elapsed over a reference period which corresponds to the maximum duration after the first opening beyond which the liquid food can no longer be consumed. In this case, it may be envisaged that the user has to program the duration of this period. Thus, if the liquid is not to be consumed beyond a period of three days after the first opening, the consumer will schedule the countdown period to be equal to three days. However, this duration may also be preprogrammed by the manufacturer, especially when the indicator device according to the invention will be sold with one or more container (s) containing a given liquid, such as for example a batch of bottles of milk or juice. 'orange.
- the determination means therefore make it possible to define information representative of a duration (for example the time elapsed since the first opening or the counting of a duration over a reference period since the first opening). This information is then communicated to the consumer via the means of communication.
- This information may consist of: an indication of the elapsed time since the first opening; the indication of the time remaining before the liquid food becomes unfit for consumption; - the appearance of a message of the type "drinkable drink” or “drink unfit for human consumption "; the emission of a sound signal of the type "consumable drink” or
- Unsafe drink the emission of a green light as long as the drink is consumable and a red light as soon as the drink is unfit for consumption.
- the consumer can separate the detachable indicator device according to the invention in order to secure it to a container again. he has just started for the first time. It is noted in this regard that activating the triggering means again makes it possible to reset the stopwatch or the countdown timer so that they respectively make it possible to measure or to count down the time elapsed since the first opening of the new container. .
- the indicator device 10 cooperates with a container consisting of a Tetrapack® packaging 12.
- this package consists of a parallelepipedic container forming a "brick" which has on its upper face a neck. On this neck is screwed a plug of circular section.
- the indicator device 10 constitutes a detachable cap that covers and completely covers the cap of the container and is integral therewith. The cap of the container is not visible in this figure since masked by the device according to the invention.
- the on-plug indicator device 10 includes a hollow body which has a chamber having an inner contour of shape complementary to the outer contour of the plug so as to cooperate with it.
- the over-cap indicator device 10 has a cam shape.
- a cam shape facilitates the unscrewing of the assembly constituted by the cap and the over-cap. Indeed, by acting on the free end of the cam, it is possible to easily rotate this assembly integrally along the longitudinal axis of the plug to move it from one position to another such as that shown online dashed in FIGS. 6 and 7, and then unscrew this assembly,
