Abstract

L'invention concerne un ensemble de bouchage composé d'un récipient en verre (50) avec des éléments filetés (54, 55) situés à l'extérieur et décalés sur la périphérie au niveau d'un col (52) du récipient en verre, ainsi que d'un couvercle en tôle (1,2) qui comporte sur son côté intérieur une couche périphérique (30 ; 30h, 30v) en matière plastique. Le couvercle est pressé sur le col (52) du récipient et il doit être ouvert par un mouvement de rotation par l'intermédiaire des éléments filetés (54, 55) et d'un segment vertical (30v) de la couche en matière plastique. Le col (52) du récipient a une surface frontale horizontale (52a) sur laquelle un segment horizontal (30h) de la couche de matière plastique repose de manière étanche sous pression. Une zone centrale (11) du couvercle se raccorde par une zone de transition (11a, 11b, 11c) orientée dans le sens de la circonférence à un segment de jupe qui dépasse axialement (12) et se termine par une zone se sertissage (21a, 21 ; 22). La couche en matière plastique (30 ; 30h, 30v) est disposée côté intérieur du couvercle de manière adhérente sur la zone de transition (11a, 11b, 11c) et le segment de jupe (12). Une longueur axiale (h0) du segment de jupe (12) et une dimension radiale (b52) de la surface frontale (52a) orientée horizontalement du col (52) du récipient forment un premier rapport (v1) inférieur à trois.
