Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a closure assembly reported near the top of a container with flexible or rigid walls, generally parallelepiped, the type "brick".
  • closure assemblies of this type for example the entire document FR 2 905 940 , which corresponds to the preamble of the appended claim 1, consist of a base decomposing into a lower flange forming a central opening, intended to be welded around an orifice of the wall of the brick, and a pouring portion derived from said flange and threaded externally to cooperate in screwing with a closure cap formed by an internally threaded outer skirt, extending at its upper part by a closure plate.
  • This cap requires unscrewing the cap at first, then tearing the lid or tear the tear-off veil.
  • This lid is placed in or on the pouring portion of the base on which the stopper is screwed, which is attached to the top of the brick by ultrasonic welding or gluing.
  • the assembly thus formed is finally secured by a tamper band.
  • a first phase of the inventive step it has been sought to remove any relief of the interior volume of the container, including its pouring portion. This would homogenize all the internal walls of said container by removing the seal, which would facilitate the use of the product and simplify the manufacturing process and implementation. industrial work of the capping assembly on the brick.
  • the invention relates to a closure assembly reported near the top of a container with flexible or rigid walls, generally parallelepipedic, of the "brick" type, consisting of a base decomposing into a lower flange forming a central opening , intended to be fixed around an orifice of the wall of the brick, and a pouring portion issuing from said collar and externally threaded, to cooperate in screwing with a closure plug formed by an internally threaded external skirt, extending to its upper part by a hollow re-entrant portion internally doubling the threaded skirt and constituted by a peripheral side wall, the upper end of which is connected to the upper end of said skirt by an upper peripheral edge portion, the lower end of said wall extending to form at least a flat circular lower platen portion, have the dimensions make it capable of cooperating and positioning, tightly fitting manner, with an inner peripheral edge of the opening of the flange of the base, so as to act together in closing, sealingly when the cap is completely screwed in closing.
  • the invention also relates to the features that will emerge during the following description, which should be considered in isolation or in all their possible technical combinations.
  • the closure assembly 1 generally designated in the figures is intended to be reported, by ultrasonic welding or gluing, near the top 2 of a container 3 walled 4 flexible or rigid, generally parallelepipedic, type "brick".
  • This assembly 1 consists, in a known manner, of a base 5 decomposing into a lower flange 6 forming a central opening 7, intended to be welded around an orifice of the wall 2 of the brick 3, and into a pouring portion 8 issuing from said flange 6 and externally threaded 9, to cooperate in screwing with a closure cap 10 formed by an externally threaded inner skirt 11, extending at its upper part by a hollow re-entrant portion 13 internally doubling the threaded skirt 11 and constituted by a peripheral side wall 14, whose upper end 14a is connected to the upper end 11a of said skirt 11 by an upper peripheral plate portion 15a.
  • the lower end 14b of said wall 14 is extended to form at least a flat circular bottom plate portion 15b, the dimensions of which make it capable of cooperating and positioning, in a tight fit manner, with the inner peripheral edge 16 of the opening 7 of the flange 6 of the base 5, so as to act together in closing, sealingly when the cap 10 is completely screwed in closing.
  • the lower plate 15b of the reentrant portion 13 of plug 10 is positioned inside the inner peripheral edge 16 of the opening 7 of the collar 6 of the base 5, when the plug 10 is completely screwed into position. closure, the dimensions and relative positioning of the components of the assembly 1 in the closed position are such that the outer plane "A" of the lower plate 15b of the plug 10 is located substantially in the same plane "B" as the outer face 6a of the collar 6 of the base 5, in order to obtain an internal volume of the convex portion 8 without relief, necessary for an aseptic treatment.
  • the dimensions and relative positioning of the components of the assembly, in the closed position are such that the outer plane "A '" of the lower plate of the plug 10A is formed, on the one hand, of a peripheral collar 15c located substantially in the same plane as the outer face of the flange 6 of the base 5, and secondly, a concave central zone 5d offset towards the rear of the container.
  • the concave central zone 5d of the cap is frustoconical.
  • a female tool having in its center a frustoconical opening comes to marry the male frustoconical shape created by the shift of the bottom of the plug, to refocus the plug before the ultrasonic welding operation of the plug on the cardboard box.
  • the offset is about one millimeter, which maintains the characteristic of a plug whose lower plate is substantially on the same plane as the inner face of the collar.
  • the outer plane "A" of the lower plate 15b of the reentrant portion 13 of the plug 10 is connected to its outer peripheral side wall 17 by a peripheral chamfer 18 constituting a frustoconical zone, facilitating the introduction of the lower plate 15b of the plug 10 into the opening 7 of the flange 6, in closure.
  • the inner peripheral edge 16 of the opening 7 of the flange 6 comprises a resiliently deformable peripheral sealing lip 19, 19b, extending beyond the upper face 20 of the flange. 6, the free end 19a of said lip 19,19b being of a diameter smaller than the diameter of the chamfer 18 of the lower plate 15b of the plug 10 in its narrowest narrow part, in order to obtain a compression of the lip 19, 19b of the flange 6 on the chamfer 18 of the cap, in its upper part, hence an increased sealing at this level, in the closed position .
  • the lip 19 has been omitted in favor of an inclined flange 22, a free end 22a of which is intended as previously to be in compression against the chamfer 18 of the plug, in its lower part. This makes it possible to avoid the stagnation of the product after a first use, to allow it to return to the brick.
  • the assembly 1 which has just been described is made in two parts, the plug 10 and the base 5, which are obtained separately by molding a plastic material.
  • a tamper-evident band 21 equips the cap 10.
  • the retaining bridges of the tamper-evident band 21 are broken and open the interior of the brick, by separating the sealing parts in contact with the lower plate 15b of the cap 10 and the collar 6 of the base 5.
