Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for capping a container neck.
  • the invention relates generally to plugs comprising two main components, namely an outer cap, which is adapted to be removably attached around the neck of a container, in particular by screwing-unscrewing, and an inner insert , which is designed to seal the neck sealingly and which, during assembly of the cap, is permanently secured to the inside of the cap.
  • closure devices of this type are known, in which the insert is firstly brought back and fixed permanently inside the cap, before being put in place on a container neck to plug the assembly consisting of the assembly of this insert and this cap.
  • US-A-6,044,995 , GB-A-1,316,162 and FR-A-2 219 081 provide examples: in all cases, the proposed inserts are a priori unable to be reported and held tightly at the free end of a container neck until the cap of the device is not present together with the insert.
  • the invention specifically relates to plugs for which the insert is intended to be placed on the neck independently of the cap so that the insert is advantageously placed on the front collar. that the cap is then put in place.
  • EP-A-1,254,848 provides an example of such a plug.
  • the preamble of appended claim 1 is based on EP-A-1,254,848 .
  • the current capping devices including the one proposed by EP-A-1,254,848 do not provide a satisfactory solution for cases where, when filling the container, the outer face of the neck of the latter is soiled by the product with which the container is filled. Indeed, in case of overfilling, the product overflows the neck and flows along its outer face. Dripping may also occur in case of leaks or projections from the filling system.
  • the situation is the same for all products with a tendency to foam, such as beer.
  • the formation of foam is even voluntarily sought for this foam occupies the entire free volume of the neck, above the surface of the beer, and thus expels the air initially present. In this case, large sagging foam systematically take place and therefore significantly soil the outer face of the neck. Residues of the liquid left by these run-offs often result in biological contamination of the neck of the container, mold or the like.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a closure device of the type mentioned above, which limits the risk of biological contamination of a container neck to be closed by this closure device.
  • the subject of the invention is a closure device for a container neck, as defined in appended claim 1.
  • the insert is, according to the invention, designed, when it is put in place, to be mechanically bonded to the neck, in particular sufficiently to remain in place when the cleaning liquid is applied. , typically carried out by projection, therefore under a certain pressure, as well as during subsequent drying, which is typically carried out by blowing air, thus also under a certain pressure.
  • the aforementioned mechanical connection is provided sufficient to withstand this overpressure, at least the time to clean the neck of the container.
  • the insert of the device according to the invention effectively seals, from the outside, the free end of the neck: in this way, the cleaning liquid does not creep between the insert and the free end of the neck. collar, especially on the rim of the neck, to avoid that, subsequently, traces of the cleaning liquid are found on the rim and are then ingested by the user, including by mixing with the product spilled via the collar of the container.
  • a device 1 for closing a neck 2 of a container is shown.
  • the neck 2 is integral with the rest of the container, especially when the latter is a glass bottle or plastic material, or adapted to be secured permanently to a wall of the container, at a level of opening through this wall.
  • the neck 2 has a generally tubular shape, the central longitudinal axis is referenced X-X.
  • X-X the central longitudinal axis
  • the terms “upper” and “top” correspond to a direction generally parallel to the axis XX and from the body of the container to the free end of its neck 2, c that is, an upward direction in the figures, while the terms “lower” and “lower” correspond to an opposite direction.
  • the neck 2 comprises a generally cylindrical body 3 with a circular base, of axis XX. At its upper end 4, this body 3 defines a rim 4A at which the product contained in the container is intended to be dumped.
  • the outer face 3A of the body 3 includes, successively from top to bottom, the outer surface 3A1 of the end 4 and the outer surface 3A2 of the current portion of the body 3, which is provided with a helical thread 5 radially projecting outwards.
  • the device 1 mainly comprises two components, namely an outer cap 10 and an inner insert 20.
  • the cap 10 has a generally tubular shape, whose central longitudinal axis coincides with the axis XX of the neck 2 when the device 1 is put in place on the neck ( figure 5 ).
  • the cap 10 is open at its lower end and closed at its upper end by a flat bottom wall 11 at the outer periphery of which extends downwardly a tubular skirt 12 centered on the axis XX.
  • the current portion of the inner face of the skirt 12 is provided with a thread 13 radially projecting inwardly and complementary to the outer thread 5 of the neck 2, thus allowing the cap 10 to be screwed and unscrewed on the neck.
  • the outer face of the skirt 12 is provided with projecting ribs 14, which extend in length parallel to the axis XX and which are distributed substantially. uniformly around the outer periphery of the skirt, as clearly visible in the figure 1 .
  • the embodiment of these ribs 14 shown in the figures is illustrative and does not limit the invention in the sense that various other forms, to facilitate the drive of the cap by a user, are conceivable.
  • the skirt 12 is internally provided with several vanes 15 which are all located generally in the same plane perpendicular to the X-X axis, being distributed substantially uniformly along the inner periphery of the skirt.
  • the aforementioned plane is located, along the axis XX, approximately halfway between the bottom wall 11 and the axial level of the upper end of the thread. 13.
  • Each pallet 15 extends radially inwardly projecting from the inner face of the skirt 12.
  • Each pallet 15 thus delimits, facing the bottom wall 11, a substantially flat upper surface 15A, the surfaces 15A of the different pallets 15 are all inscribed in a plane perpendicular to the axis XX.
  • the skirt 12 defines a plurality of through openings 16, which are all located globally in the same plane perpendicular to the axis XX, being distributed substantially uniformly around the periphery of the skirt.
  • the openings 16 occupy the same peripheral portions of the skirt 12 as the vanes 15, being located, along the axis XX, between the plane containing the vanes 15 and the bottom wall 11.
  • each of the openings 16 crosses the wall of the skirt 12 from one end to the other, opening onto one of the pallets 15 to the inside of the cap 10.
  • the wall of the latter between two successive openings 16 is full, being internally devoid of pallets similar to the pallets 15, more generally being devoid of any radially protruding relief towards inside.
  • the interest of the pallets 15 and the openings 16 will appear later.
  • the upper end portion of the skirt 12 is externally provided with protruding ribs 17, which extend in length between the upper end of the outer face of the skirt 12, in other words at the axial level of the bottom wall. 11, and the axial level where are located the upper ends of the ribs 14 present in the current portion of the outer face of the skirt.
  • these ribs 17 can obviously not be present in the portions occupied by the openings 16: in fact, one of the ribs 17 is systematically provided between two successive openings 16, as clearly visible on the figure 1 .
  • the width of the ribs 17, that is to say their dimension in the circumferential direction of the skirt 12, is greater than that of the ribs 14.
  • these ribs 17 give the cap 10 a singular exterior aesthetic. , recalling the usual outer shape of the crown capsules of beer bottles.
  • the ribs 17 also have the advantage of stiffening and reinforcing the mechanical strength of the portions of the wall of the skirt 12, successively separating the openings 16. This mechanical reinforcement will be used during the assembly of the device 1, as explained further, as well as during the demolding of the cap 10 when the latter is made of a molded plastic material.
  • the insert 20 comprises a main body 21 having a generally discoidal shape, centered on an axis which, when the device 1 is assembled and placed on the neck 2 , is substantially coincident with the axis XX.
  • the body 21 is provided on its lower face 21A, two sealing lips 22 and 23, which respectively have annular shapes, coaxial to each other centrally on the axis XX, and which s extend axially protruding from the face 21A of the body 21.
  • the outer face 23A of the lip 23 has a radially protruding relief, which, in the embodiment shown in the figures, consists of a 23A1 boss with blunt top.
  • the lower face 21A of the body 21 is provided with a projecting heel 24 which is arranged in the connection zone between the face 21A and the inner face 22A of the lip 22 radially further from the axis XX than the lip 23.
  • a free space 25 is provided axially below the face 21A of the body 21, radially between the heel 24 and the connection zone between this face 21A and the outer face 23A of the lip 23.
  • the container whose neck 2 is shown in the figures, has just been filled with a product, where appropriate with a foaming product, such as beer.
  • a foaming product such as beer.
  • this filling operation with the formation of foam if necessary, very often leads to dirtying the outer face 3A of the neck 2, in particular to dirty the threaded surface 3A2 of this face 3A.
  • the insert 20 is then placed on the neck 2, being both aligned with the axis XX and placed across the upper end 4 of the neck 2 to close the opening central body 3 of the neck: the insert 20 is then in the configuration shown in the figure 3 . More specifically, the body 21 of the insert 20 transversely covers the end 4 of the neck 2, with its lower face 21A which closes the opening of this neck. In the direction of the axis XX, the body 21 occupies a position in which the heel 24 rests axially in tight abutment against the rim 4A of the neck 2, more precisely against an outer peripheral portion 4A1 of this rim, as clearly visible on the figure 4 .
  • the lips 22 and 23 are respectively pressed sealingly against the outer faces 3A and inner 3B of the body 3 of the neck 2: with regard to the shapes and dimensions of the lips 22 and 23, the inner face 22A of the lip 22 seals against the outer surface 3A1 of the end 4 of the neck 2, while the boss 23A1 of the outer face 23A of the lip 23 bears sealingly against the inner surface of the part common body 3 of the neck 2. Also at the same time, the free space 25 is arranged at the axial plumb of the inner peripheral portion 4A2 of the rim 4, as clearly visible on the figure 4 .
  • the lips 22 and 23 By their flexible deformation, resulting from their interference with the body 3 of the neck 2, the lips 22 and 23 produce, in addition to their sealing action detailed above, a mechanical action of retaining the insert 20 vis- to the neck 2 once this insert is thus placed on the neck. Indeed, insofar as, in view of their relative dimensioning vis-à-vis the body 3 of the neck 2, each of these lips 22 and 23 is partially deformed vis-à-vis the body 21, they tend, by return elastic, to their initial configuration, typically their mold exit configuration, thereby causing a mechanical bonding effect with the body 3 of the neck 2, in particular by friction, jamming, adhesion, etc.
  • this is the inner lip 23 which produces the greater part of the aforementioned mechanical connection effect, by friction of its boss 23A1 against the inner face 3B of the body 3 of the neck 2, this friction producing a radial stress of the lip 23 on the inside of the neck 2, whose intensity is directly dependent on the interference provided between the maximum outside diameter of the lip 23, that is to say its diameter at the axial level of the boss 23A1, and the inside diameter of the body 3 of the col 2.
  • one of the interests of the free space 25 is to allow the lip 23 to retain its elasticity over time, that is to say after several openings and closures of the device 1, and thus maintain in the long term its sealing performance.
  • a cleaning liquid is applied to the neck 2, in particular by being sprayed on this neck as indicated by the arrows F on the figure 3 , so as to clean the dirt present on the outer face 3A of the body 3, in particular the threaded surface 3A2 left uncovered by the lip 22.
  • the aforementioned cleaning liquid can be applied with a certain pressure, reinforcing its cleaning efficiency, without running the risk of moving or lifting the insert 20 retained on the neck.
  • the application of the cleaning liquid is followed by a step of drying this liquid, typically not blowing air, if necessary pressurized air. Again, this drying step is performed without running the risk of moving or lifting the insert 20 relative to the neck. More generally, these cleaning steps are thus carried out without the cleaning fluid being able to creep inside the neck 2, this liquid being in fact stopped by the tightness achieved by the lip 22.
  • the effect of mechanical retention and the sealing effect, which are produced by the sealing lip 23 can be easily provided so that the insert 20 withstands the removal, without moving, at least for a sufficient time in the course of the cleaning steps.
  • the mechanical retaining effect and the sealing effect, which are produced by the lip 22 they are advantageously reinforced by this overpressure because it tends to slightly bend the body 21 towards the outside, which, by lever effect, further press the inner face 22A of the lip 22 against the surface 3A1 of the end 4 of the neck 2.
  • cap 10 Clogging of the neck 2 is then continued by the introduction of the cap 10.
  • the cap 10 is attached around the neck 2 on which is already installed the insert 20, being centered on the axis XX and being driven downwards until its bottom wall 11 comes to bear against the upper face 21B of the body 21 of the insert 20. In doing so, the internal thread 13 of the cap is engaged with the external thread 5 of the neck 2.
  • the body 21 of the insert has a dimensioning designed so that its outer periphery cooperates by complementarity of forms and by interference with the pallets 15 and the openings 16 of the cap 10. More precisely, on the one hand, the body 21 has, at least in its outer periphery, a thickness, that is to say a dimension according to the XX axis, substantially equal to or slightly smaller than the axial spacing between the plane containing the upper surfaces 15A of the vanes 15 and the lower face of the bottom wall 11.
  • the lower face 21A of the body 21 includes a a substantially planar outer peripheral surface 21A1, which connects the outer face of the lip 22 and the peripheral end edge of the body 21, and which is located opposite the axis XX at a distance substantially equal to
  • the outer peripheral surface 21A1 of the lower face 21A of the body 21 forms a shoulder which is complementary to the vanes 15, thus allowing the latter to retain the insert. Axially downwards once the bottom wall 11 of the cap 10 has been brought to bear against the upper face 21B of the body 21, as clearly visible on the figure 6 .
  • vanes 15 are found axially below the body 21 and then form a downward support for the outer peripheral surface 21A1 of its lower face 21A, it is understood that the outer periphery of the body 21 and the part d the upper end of the skirt 12 undergo elastic deformation stresses, being noted that the openings 16 facilitate and accommodate these deformations, avoiding damage to the insert or the cap.
  • the insert 20 is permanently attached to the cap, in the sense that, when the subsequent opening of the device 1, that is to say when the user unscrews the cap 10, the latter carries with it the insert 20, at least in translation in the direction of the axis XX.
  • the insert 20 is trapped inside the cap 10, by axially pressing down the outer periphery of its body 21 on the pallets 15.
  • the skirt 12 when the insert 20 is thus assembled inside the cap 10, the skirt 12 is dimensioned so that, in its axial part located below the pallets 15 and above the net 13, its inner face is is pressed radially against the outer face 22B of the lip 22.
  • the skirt is internally a surface 18 whose diameter interferes with the outer diameter of the lip 22.
  • the surface 18 reinforces the support of the lip 22 against the outer face 3A of the collar and thus increases the sealing performance of this lip.
  • the connection between the insert 20 and the cap 10 is, in a way, more resistant than the mechanical connection between the insert 20 and the collar 2, in the where the resistance of the retention of the insert 20 on the neck 2, which had been used during the cleaning operations of the neck 2, described with respect to figures 3 and 4 , is overcome by the securing obtained between the insert and the cap during the introduction of the cap.
  • the ribs 17 reinforce the resistance to deformation of the upper end portion of the skirt 12 to keep captive the insert 20 during the opening of the device 1.
  • the outer periphery of its body 21 may be provided crenellated, that is to say that, at its outer periphery, the body 21 is provided with several radially projecting tongues. to the outside, which are dimensioned and angularly positioned so as to each engage radially in one of the openings 16 of the skirt 12.
  • the insert 20 is designed to limit the passage of oxygen therethrough. More specifically, in the exemplary embodiment considered on the Figures 1 to 6 , the body 21 of the insert 20 is provided with a layer 26 sensitive to oxygen, which is arranged in the thickness of this body. In practice, in a manner known per se, the material constituting the layer 26 forms an oxygen barrier or traps oxygen by fixing it. To achieve this embodiment, several manufacturing techniques are conceivable: a first solution is to overmold the body 21 around the layer 26 previously molded independently. Another solution is to jointly perform the molding of the body 21 and the molding of the layer 26, typically by bi-injection of plastics.
  • the layer 26 can be fixed against the lower face 21A of the body 21, inside the lip 23: this fixation can be obtained by bi-injection of plastics or by gluing.

Indeed, during the molding of the cap 110, obtaining a large radial extent for shoulder 115A remains delicate, given the demolding constraints.
  • the use of an eclipsable molding core is preferably preferred.
  • its groove 116 may be regularly interrupted along the periphery of the skirt 112, which amounts to saying that the groove 116 of the Figures 7 to 9 is replaced by a plurality of notches, distributed along the inner periphery of the skirt 112, the shoulder 115 is then either maintained in its uninterrupted embodiment along the inner periphery of the skirt 112, or interrupted as the groove.
