The tab is provided with a maintaining rod portion extending parallel to the tab, to remove and position the maintaining rod portion during the clipping of the plug under a peripheral ring (7) of a neck (5) of a bottle (2), without angular incidence of the portion with respect to the axis of the plug, regardless of gap tolerance of the ring in a radial direction perpendicular to the axis.

Description

La présente invention concerne un bouchon de fermeture du type clipable sur un col de flacon, par simple poussée axiale de la part d'un utilisateur.The present invention relates to a clip-type closure cap on a neck of a bottle, by simple axial thrust from a user.

L'art antérieur enseigne de réaliser un tel bouchon qui est constitué par un plateau supérieur se prolongeant axialement par une jupe de recouvrement du col du flacon, la paroi interne de ladite jupe comportant des premiers moyens de clipage élastiquement déformables, aptes à coopérer en fermeture par une pression axiale, avec une bague périphérique correspondante du col du flacon et à s'en désengager, en ouverture par une traction axiale ou par une action en dévissage, et des seconds moyens de clipage d'un joint d'étanchéité disposé contre le fond du plateau.The prior art teaches to produce such a cap which is constituted by an upper plate extending axially by a skirt covering the neck of the bottle, the inner wall of said skirt having first resiliently deformable clipping means capable of cooperating in closing. by axial pressure, with a corresponding peripheral ring of the neck of the bottle and disengage, opening by axial traction or by an action in unscrewing, and second means of clipping a seal disposed against the bottom of the board.

Ces moyens de clipage connus de l'art antérieur et illustrés sur les figures 3 et 4 sont constitués par des joncs de maintien « a » réalisés sur des pattes axiales élastiques « b » issues du fond du plateau « c » du bouchon « d ».These clipping means known from the prior art and illustrated on the Figures 3 and 4 are constituted by holding rods "a" made on elastic axial tabs "b" from the bottom of the plate "c" of the plug "d".

La déformation de ces pattes « b » lors de leur engagement sur la bague « e » du flacon « f » s'effectue dans un sens angulaire F1 par rapport à l'axe XX' du flacon « f ».The deformation of these tabs "b" during their engagement on the ring "e" of the bottle "f" takes place in an angular direction F1 with respect to the axis XX 'of the bottle "f".

Ceci a pour effet néfaste de changer l'angle d'interférence α entre le jonc « a » du bouchon « d » et la bague « e » du flacon « f », modifiant leur zone d'appui. Ceci est bien illustré par comparaison des figures 3 et 4. Il peut alors se produire un phénomène de glissement jusqu'à provoquer le déclipage du bouchon « d » et la chute du flacon « f ».This has the detrimental effect of changing the interference angle α between the ring "a" plug "d" and the ring "e" of the bottle "f", changing their support zone. This is well illustrated by comparison of Figures 3 and 4 . It can then occur a sliding phenomenon to cause the decliping of the plug "d" and the fall of the bottle "f".

Ce phénomène de glissement est visible sur les mêmes figures 3 et 4 sur lesquelles le plan I correspond au plan vertical de la bague « e » du col du flacon « f » et le plan II correspond au plan vertical de la patte « b » du bouchon « d ». Le repère « X » correspond à l'écart de tolérance entre une cote minimum et une cote maximum.This sliding phenomenon is visible on the same Figures 3 and 4 where the plane I corresponds to the vertical plane of the ring "e" of the neck of the bottle "f" and the plane II corresponds to the vertical plane of the tab "b" of the plug "d". The "X" mark corresponds to the tolerance difference between a minimum score and a maximum rating.

On voit bien à la figure 3 que, pour une patte « b » déterminée, l'accroche de son jonc « a » sur la bague « e » du flacon « f » est correcte pour une tolérance « X » nulle, mais que lorsque la tolérance « X » est de quelques dixièmes de millimètres de plus pour une bague « e' » (figure 4), il se créée un écart angulaire α du jonc « a » par rapport à la bague « e », et il en résulte un contact amoindri entre ces deux éléments, susceptible d'entrainer un déclipage du bouchon « d ».We can see clearly figure 3 that, for a specific tab "b", the hooking of its ring "a" on the ring "e" of the bottle "f" is correct for a zero tolerance "X", but that when the tolerance "X" is a few tenths of a millimeter more for an "e '" ring ( figure 4 ), it creates an angular deviation α of the ring "a" with respect to the ring "e", and results in a reduced contact between these two elements, may cause a decliping of the plug "d".

Le but de la présente invention est de résoudre ce premier problème, mais également un second problème lié au premier et qui concerne les seconds moyens de clipage du joint d'étanchéité évoqué ci-dessus.The object of the present invention is to solve this first problem, but also a second problem related to the first and which concerns the second clipping means of the seal mentioned above.

En effet, toujours selon l'art antérieur représenté, pour ce deuxième point, aux figures 10 et 11, les moyens de clipage du joint d'étanchéité « g » au fond du plateau « c » sont constitués par une autre série de joncs de maintien « h » réalisés sur les mêmes pattes axiales « b ».Indeed, still according to the prior art represented, for this second point, Figures 10 and 11 , the clipping means of the seal "g" at the bottom of the plate "c" are constituted by another series of retaining rods "h" made on the same axial tabs "b".

Ces joncs « h » sont disposés au-delà des précédents « a », et cela à proximité du fond du plateau « c », ce qui les rend quasi rigides du fait du manque de flexibilité à ce niveau.These rods "h" are arranged beyond the previous "a", and this near the bottom of the plate "c", which makes them almost rigid because of the lack of flexibility at this level.

Cela a pour effet néfaste de détériorer le bord périphérique du joint « g » au montage, voire provoquer la rupture de la patte « b », du fait de la prise d'angle α importante de celle-ci. La figure 10 montre bien le décalage angulaire α entre le plan I du bord du joint « g » et le plan II de la patte « b ».This has the detrimental effect of deteriorating the peripheral edge of the seal "g" assembly, or even cause breakage of the tab "b", because of the angle of engagement α significant thereof. The figure 10 shows well the angular offset α between the plane I of the edge of the joint "g" and the plane II of the leg "b".

L'invention consiste à résoudre ce double problème en proposant des premiers moyens de clipage constitués par au moins deux pattes élastiquement déformables, diamétralement opposées, chacune d'elles étant issues de la paroi interne de la jupe de façon tangentielle et s'étendant et se débattant angulairement librement dans un plan perpendiculaire à l'axe du bouchon, chacune de ces pattes étant munie d'une portion de jonc de maintien s'étendant parallèlement à celle-ci, de manière à s'effacer puis à se positionner, lors du clipage du bouchon, sous la bague du col, sans incidence angulaire par rapport à l'axe, quels que soient les écarts de tolérances de la bague dans un sens radial, donc perpendiculaire à l'axe.The invention consists in solving this double problem by proposing first clipping means constituted by at least two elastically deformable tabs, diametrically opposed, each of them coming from the inner wall of the skirt tangentially and extending and angularly debating freely in a plane perpendicular to the axis of the cap, each of these tabs being provided with a retaining ring portion extending parallel thereto, so as to fade and then to position, during the clipping of the cap, under the neck collar, without angular incidence relative to the axis, whatever the tolerance deviations of the ring in a radial direction, therefore perpendicular to the axis.

L'invention se caractérise en proposant également des seconds moyens de clipage du joint d'étanchéité contre le fond du plateau constitués par au moins deux autres pattes, indépendantes ou non des précédentes, élastiquement déformables, diamétralement opposées, chacune d'elles étant issues de la paroi interne de la jupe de façon tangentielle et s'étendant angulairement librement dans un plan perpendiculaire à l'axe du bouchon, chacune de ces pattes étant munie d'une portion de jonc de maintien, s'étendant parallèlement à celle-ci, de manière à s'effacer puis à se positionner, lors du clipage du joint d'étanchéité (9), sans exercer d'effort sur la périphérie de celui-ci et donc sans risque de détérioration au montage.The invention is characterized by also providing second means for clipping the seal against the bottom of the plate constituted by at least two other legs, independent or not of the previous, elastically deformable, diametrically opposed, each of them being derived from the inner wall of the skirt tangentially and extending angularly freely in a plane perpendicular to the axis of the stopper, each of these tabs being provided with a portion of retaining ring, extending parallel thereto, so as to fade and then position itself, during the clipping of the seal (9), without exerting any effort on the periphery thereof and therefore without risk of damage to the assembly.

L'invention concerne également les caractéristiques qui ressortiront au cours de la description qui va suivre, et qui devront être considérées isolément ou selon toutes leurs combinaisons techniques possibles.The invention also relates to the features which will emerge during the following description, which should be considered in isolation or in all their possible technical combinations.

Le bouchon 1 globalement désigné sur les figures est destiné à assurer la fermeture d'un flacon 2.The cap 1 generally designated in the figures is intended to ensure the closure of a bottle 2.

Le bouchon 1 est du type constitué par plateau supérieur 3 se prolongeant axialement par une jupe de recouvrement 4 du col 5 du flacon 2, la paroi interne 12 de ladite jupe 4 comportant des premiers moyens de clipage 6 élastiquement déformables, aptes à coopérer en fermeture par une pression axiale, avec une bague périphérique correspondante 7 du col 5 du flacon 2 et à s'en désengager, en ouverture par une traction axiale ou par une action en dévissage, et des seconds moyens de clipage 8 d'un joint d'étanchéité 9 disposé contre le fond 10 du plateau 3.The plug 1 is of the type constituted by upper plate 3 extending axially by a covering skirt 4 of the neck 5 of the bottle 2, the inner wall 12 of said skirt 4 comprising first clipping means 6 elastically deformable, able to cooperate in closure by axial pressure, with a corresponding peripheral ring 7 of the neck 5 of the bottle 2 and to disengage, opening by axial traction or by an action in unscrewing, and second clipping means 8 of a seal of sealing 9 disposed against the bottom 10 of the plate 3.

Selon l'invention, les premiers moyens de clipage 6 sont constitués par au moins deux pattes 11 élastiquement déformables, diamétralement opposées, chacune d'elles étant issues de la paroi interne 12 de la jupe 4 de façon tangentielle et s'étendant et se débattant angulairement librement dans un plan perpendiculaire à l'axe XX' du bouchon 1, chacune de ces pattes 11 étant munie d'une portion de jonc de maintien 13 s'étendant parallèlement à celle-ci, de manière à s'effacer puis à se positionner, lors du clipage du bouchon 1, sous la bague 7 du col 5, sans incidence angulaire par rapport à l'axe XX', quels que soient les écarts de tolérances de la bague 7 dans un sens radial, donc perpendiculaire à l'axe XX'.According to the invention, the first clipping means 6 are constituted by at least two elastically deformable lugs 11, diametrically opposed, each of them coming from the inner wall 12 of the skirt 4 tangentially and extending and struggling angularly freely in a plane perpendicular to the axis XX 'of the stopper 1, each of these lugs 11 being provided with a portion of retaining ring 13 extending parallel thereto, so as to fade and then to position, during the clipping of the plug 1, under the ring 7 of the neck 5, without angular incidence relative to the axis XX ', regardless of the tolerance deviations of the ring 7 in a radial direction, therefore perpendicular to the XX 'axis.

La tension radiale évoquée ci-dessus s'ajoute à la tension verticale exercée par la bague 7 du col 5 sur les pattes 11.The radial tension mentioned above is added to the vertical tension exerted by the ring 7 of the neck 5 on the lugs 11.

A noter également que les pattes radiales 11 selon l'invention peuvent être de longueurs plus importantes que s'il s'agissait de pattes axiales selon l'art antérieur, ce qui procure l'avantage de les rendre plus élastiques.Note also that the radial tabs 11 according to the invention may be of greater lengths than if they were axial tabs according to the prior art, which provides the advantage of making them more elastic.

Selon une variante de réalisation représentée sur les figures 7, 8 et 9, chacune des pattes tangentielles 11 se décomposent en au moins deux parties 15, 16 chacune d'elles comportant une fenêtre 17, 18 de l'un des côtés de laquelle est issue et pivote aux points 19, 20 une patte auxiliaire 21, 22 s'étendant de la même manière que la patte principale 11, les dites pattes auxiliaires 21, 22 étant munies d'une portion de jonc de maintien 13, 13b.According to an embodiment variant represented on the Figures 7, 8 and 9 , each of the tangential tabs 11 are decomposed into at least two parts 15, 16 each of them having a window 17, 18 of one of the sides of which is derived and pivots at points 19, 20 an auxiliary tab 21, 22 s extending in the same manner as the main leg 11, said auxiliary tabs 21, 22 being provided with a portion of retaining ring 13, 13b.

Ceci a pour effet d'augmenter la flexibilité de l'ensemble, le pouvoir de flexion des pattes auxiliaires 21,22 s'ajoutant à celui de la patte principale 11.This has the effect of increasing the flexibility of the assembly, the bending power of the auxiliary legs 21,22 adding to that of the main leg 11.

Egalement un tel ensemble permet d'appliquer une pression sur le col 5 du flacon 2, la plus grande possible. A cela s'ajoute, comme déjà évoqué, que toutes les zones flexibles peuvent se déformer radialement et axialement tout en conservant une accroche constante avec le col 5, car l'interférence entre les joncs 13 et la bague 7 du col 5 est maitrisée.Also such an assembly allows to apply a pressure on the neck 5 of the bottle 2, the largest possible. In addition, as already mentioned, all the flexible zones can deform radially and axially while maintaining a constant grip with the neck 5, because the interference between the rods 13 and the ring 7 of the neck 5 is mastered.

Selon une autre caractéristique de ce second mode de réalisation, des zones amincies 23, 24 sont réalisées au droit de chaque fenêtre 17, 18 de chaque partie 15, 16 de patte principale 11 dans un sens axial, pour constituer autant de points de pivotement desdites partie 15, 16.According to another feature of this second embodiment, thinned zones 23, 24 are performed at the right of each window 17, 18 of each portion 15, 16 of main leg 11 in an axial direction, to constitute as many pivot points of said portion 15, 16.

Ceci créée une troisième source de flexibilité à l'ensemble.This creates a third source of flexibility to the whole.

La mise en place d'un tel bouchon s'effectue par clipage, en l'appuyant sur le col 5 du flacon 2 et en exerçant une pression axiale. Pour le retirer, il est exercé une action verticale dans l'autre sens, ou alors en exerçant une rotation sur le bouchon 2 dont l'extrémité inférieure de la jupe 4 présente une ondulation 25 correspondant à une rampe 26 réalisée sur le col 5, sous sa bague 7. La rotation de la jupe 4 du bouchon 1 par rapport à la rampe 26 du col 5 provoque le soulèvement du bouchon 1, et conséquemment son déclipage.The establishment of such a cap is made by clipping, by pressing on the neck 5 of the bottle 2 and exerting axial pressure. To remove it, it is exerted a vertical action in the other direction, or while exerting a rotation on the plug 2, the lower end of the skirt 4 has a corrugation 25 corresponding to a ramp 26 made on the neck 5, under its ring 7. The rotation of the skirt 4 of the cap 1 relative to the ramp 26 of the neck 5 causes the lifting of the cap 1, and consequently its decliping.

Par ailleurs (voir les figures 12 et 13, comparativement aux figures 10 et 11 de l'art antérieur, les seconds moyens de clipage 8 du joint d'étanchéité 9 contre le fond 10 du plateau 3 sont constitués par au moins deux autres pattes 27, indépendantes ou non des précédentes 11, élastiquement déformables, diamétralement opposées, chacune d'elles étant issues de la paroi interne 12 de la jupe 4 de façon tangentielle et s'étendant angulairement librement dans un plan perpendiculaire à l'axe XX' du bouchon 1, chacune de ces pattes 27 étant munie d'une portion de jonc 28 de maintien, s'étendant parallèlement à celle-ci, de manière à s'effacer puis à se positionner, lors du clipage du joint d'étanchéité 9, sans exercer d'effort sur la périphérie de celui-ci et donc sans risque de détérioration au montage.Moreover (see Figures 12 and 13 compared to Figures 10 and 11 of the prior art, the second clipping means 8 of the seal 9 against the bottom 10 of the plate 3 are constituted by at least two other lugs 27, independent or not of the previous 11, elastically deformable, diametrically opposed, each of they coming from the inner wall 12 of the skirt 4 tangentially and extending angularly freely in a plane perpendicular to the axis XX 'of the cap 1, each of these legs 27 being provided with a portion of rod 28 keeping, extending parallel to the latter, so as to fade and then to position, during the clipping of the seal 9, without exerting any effort on the periphery thereof and therefore without risk of damage to the assembly.

Comme le montre la figure 13, le plan axial I du joint d'étanchéité 9 est toujours parallèle au plan de joint axial II de la patte 27, quelle que soit la position de cette dernière au cours du montage du joint 9, et quelle que soit la tolérance de fabrication « X ».As shown in figure 13 , the axial plane I of the seal 9 is always parallel to the axial joint plane II of the lug 27, whatever the position of the latter during the assembly of the seal 9, and regardless of the manufacturing tolerance " X "
