Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne un ensemble de couvercle, ainsi qu'une boîte pour contenir un corps fluide, qui comprend un tel ensemble de couvercle.The present invention relates to a lid assembly, as well as a box for containing a fluid body, which includes such a lid assembly.
La présente invention peut être mise en oeuvre dans tout domaine où il est nécessaire de transvaser un corps fluide dans un récipient. Par exemple, la présente invention peut être utilisée pour transvaser du lait en poudre contenu dans une boîte vers un biberon. La présente invention peut aussi être utilisée pour préparer une boisson énergisante en mélangeant une poudre alimentaire avec de l'eau.The present invention can be implemented in any field where it is necessary to transfer a fluid body into a container. For example, the present invention can be used to transfer powdered milk contained in a can to a bottle. The present invention can also be used to prepare an energy drink by mixing a food powder with water.
Dans la présente demande, l'expression « corps fluide » désigne tout corps pouvant s'écouler dans un entonnoir, telle qu'une poudre, un liquide ou un produit semi-liquide.In the present application, the term "fluid body" refers to any body that can flow into a funnel, such as a powder, a liquid or a semi-liquid product.
Pour préparer une boisson alimentaire, telle que du lait infantile ou une boisson énergisante, on prélève généralement de la poudre dans une boîte dont on a préalablement dégagé le couvercle amovible, pour la verser, au moyen d'une cuillère doseuse, dans un récipient de mélange, tel qu'un biberon ou une bouteille. Cependant, comme la cuillère doseuse a des dimensions semblables à celles de l'ouverture du récipient, il est difficile de verser l'intégralité de la poudre dans le récipient sans risquer de perdre de la poudre en dehors du récipient.To prepare a food drink, such as infant milk or an energy drink, the powder is generally taken from a box which has previously been removed the removable cover, to pour it, using a measuring spoon, into a container of mixture, such as a bottle or bottle. However, as the measuring spoon has dimensions similar to those of the opening of the container, it is difficult to pour all of the powder into the container without the risk of losing powder outside the container.
Pour éviter de perdre de la poudre en dehors du récipient, on peut utiliser un entonnoir posé sur le récipient pour y transvaser la poudre. Cependant, un tel entonnoir nécessite un volume de rangement relativement encombrant. En outre, un tel entonnoir doit être rangé dans des conditions compatibles avec le contact alimentaire.To avoid losing powder outside the container, a funnel can be used on the container to transfer the powder. However, such a funnel requires a relatively bulky storage volume. In addition, such a funnel must be stored in conditions compatible with food contact.
La présente invention vise notamment à remédier à ces inconvénients, en proposant un ensemble de couvercle compatible avec le contact alimentaire, peu encombrant, et simple à manipuler et à ranger.The present invention aims to overcome these disadvantages, by providing a cover assembly compatible with the food contact, compact, and easy to handle and store.
A cet effet, la présente invention a pour objet un ensemble de couvercle tel que défini à la revendication 1.For this purpose, the present invention relates to a cover assembly as defined in
Ainsi, il suffit de tenir le couvercle de boîte de poudre, pour positionner l'entonnoir au-dessus du récipient. En dehors des transvasements, l'entonnoir compactable peut être rangé dans un volume réduit auprès du couvercle.Thus, just hold the powder box lid, to position the funnel above the container. Apart from the transfers, the compactable funnel can be stored in a reduced volume near the lid.

L'ensemble d'entonnoir 20 comprend un entonnoir 21 et des moyens de liaison 30 de l'entonnoir 21 au couvercle 10. L'entonnoir 21 est adapté pour passer, de façon réversible, d'une configuration compacte à une configuration déployée. Sur la
En configuration déployée, l'entonnoir 21 peut être utilisé pour transvaser la poudre 2 dans le biberon 3. En configuration déployée, l'entonnoir 21 présente une forme globalement tronconique à base circulaire et d'axe de révolution Y21. En configuration déployée, l'entonnoir 21 définit ainsi une première ouverture 22 et une deuxième ouverture 23, qui sont séparées par une paroi tronconique. La première ouverture 22 et la deuxième ouverture 23 sont circulaires et ont des diamètres respectifs D22 et D23. Le diamètre D22 est d'environ de 70 mm et le diamètre D23 est d'environ de 10 mm à 20 mm. Ainsi, la superficie de la deuxième ouverture 23 est inférieure à la superficie de la première ouverture 22. De plus, la superficie de l'ouverture 23 est inférieure à la superficie de l'ouverture circulaire du biberon 3 dont le diamètre D4 est d'environ 30 mm dans le cas d'un biberon à col « étroit » et d'environ 45 mm dans le cas d'un biberon à col « large ». La superficie d'une ouverture circulaire est le quart du carré du diamètre de cette ouverture circulaire, multiplié par le nombre π.In deployed configuration, the
Pour transvaser la poudre 2 dans le biberon 3, l'entonnoir 21 est placé au-dessus du biberon 3 avec la deuxième ouverture 23 disposée en regard de l'ouverture 4, voire introduite dans l'ouverture 4. Pour permettre l'écoulement de la poudre 2 à travers la deuxième ouverture 23, le diamètre D23 est de préférence supérieur à 15 mm.To transfer the

A la différence de l'entonnoir 21, l'entonnoir 121 a une base non circulaire, mais en rectangle et plus précisément en carré. En d'autres termes, l'entonnoir 121 présente la forme d'une pyramide tronquée. La première ouverture 122 et la deuxième ouverture 123 sont donc carrées. Les sommets des carrés définissant respectivement la première ouverture 122 et la deuxième ouverture 123 sont reliés deux à deux par des arêtes 124, 125, 126 et 127. La forme pyramidale et les arêtes 124 à 127 facilitent le pliage de l'entonnoir 121, donc le rangement de l'ensemble d'entonnoir 120.Unlike the
Les longueurs des côtés des carrés définissant la première ouverture 122 et la deuxième ouverture 123 sont sélectionnées de sorte que la superficie de la deuxième ouverture 123 est inférieure à la superficie de la première ouverture 122 et que la superficie de la deuxième ouverture 123 est inférieure à la superficie de l'ouverture 104 du biberon 103.The lengths of the sides of the squares defining the
A la différence des moyens de liaison 30, les moyens de liaison 130 comprennent deux tiges 131 qui sont rigides et qui permettent de relier l'entonnoir 121 au disque 111 1 du couvercle 110. De plus, les moyens de liaison 130 comprennent deux organes 132 et deux membres 133, chaque tige 121 étant fixée au couvercle 110 et à l'entonnoir 121 respectivement par l'intermédiaire d'un organe 132 et d'un membre 133. Les tiges 131 sont fixées à l'entonnoir 121 à chaque extrémité de l'arête 124. La présence de deux tiges 131 et leurs fixations respectives à des points éloignés de l'entonnoir 121 assurent un maintien stable de la position de l'entonnoir 121 au dessus du biberon 103.Unlike the connecting
A la différence de l'organe 32, les organes 132 sont formés par des surépaisseurs venues de matière avec le couvercle 110 et chaque tige 131. Les organes 132 permettent le pivotement de l'ensemble d'entonnoir 120, sans adjonction de charnières. La
A la différence du membre 33, chaque membre 133 est formé par une surépaisseur de matière qui fixe l'entonnoir 121 à chaque tige 131. L'entonnoir 121 est ainsi venu de matière avec chaque tige 131.Unlike the
La fabrication du couvercle 110 et de l'ensemble d'entonnoir 120, qui sont donc venus de matière ou d'un seul tenant, peut donc être réalisée par une opération de moulage et sans nécessiter d'opération d'assemblage. L'axe de symétrie de l'entonnoir 121 se trouve à une distance 111.121 du disque 111 du couvercle 110, notamment car les tiges 131 remplissent une fonction d'entretoises à l'instar de la tige 31.The manufacture of the
La
On définit ainsi le couvercle 210, un disque 211, une couronne 212, un biberon 203 avec une ouverture 204, l'ensemble d'entonnoir 220, un entonnoir 221 avec une première ouverture 222 et une deuxième ouverture 223, des moyens de liaison 230 avec deux tiges 231, un organe 232 et deux membres 233.This defines the
A la différence des moyens de liaison 30, les moyens de liaison 230 comprennent deux tiges 231 et deux membres 233. A l'instar de la tige 31 ou des tiges 131, les tiges 231 peuvent être réalisées en matériau thermoplastique.Unlike the connecting
A la différence du membre 33, chaque membre 233 est formé par un anneau circulaire qui définit une ouverture adaptée pour recevoir l'entonnoir 221 et qui a une rigidité adaptée pour supporter l'entonnoir 221. Ainsi, l'entonnoir 221 peut être simplement posé sur les membres 233. Les membres 233 fixent donc de manière amovible l'entonnoir 221 aux tiges 231.Unlike the
Comme le montre la
A la différence de l'organe 32, l'organe 232 est formé par une plaque qui comporte une embase pourvue d'une surface autocollante 234 qui est visualisée à la
A la différence de la tige 31 ou des tiges 131, la fixation de chaque tige 231 sur l'organe 232 peut comporter un élément de pivot, afin de permettre le pivotement dans une position repliée de chaque tige 231 équipée d'un des membres 233. En passant en outre l'entonnoir 221 en configuration compacte, on peut ainsi ranger l'ensemble d'entonnoir 220 dans un volume présentant un encombrement minimal.Unlike the

Selon d'autres modes de réalisation non représentés :
- l'entonnoir présente une forme tronconique dont la base est en rectangle ou en losange ;
- l'entonnoir comporte en outre une portion inférieure qui a une forme tubulaire, par exemple à base circulaire, et qui s'étend sous la deuxième ouverture de façon à pénétrer dans le récipient ; de plus, la longueur de cette portion inférieure est adaptée pour stabiliser l'entonnoir en position de transvasement sur le récipient ; cette portion inférieure peut être monobloc avec ou rapportée sur le corps de l'entonnoir généralement tronconique.
- the funnel has a frustoconical shape whose base is in a rectangle or rhombus;
- the funnel further comprises a lower portion which has a tubular shape, for example circular base, and which extends under the second opening so as to enter the container; in addition, the length of this lower portion is adapted to stabilize the funnel in transfer position on the container; this lower portion may be integral with or reported on the body of the generally frustoconical funnel.
