Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of corking bottles containing liquids, especially effervescent liquids and sparkling wines.
  • a particularly interesting application of the invention relates to corking bottles of Champagne wines.
  • Such plugs for effervescent wines have a recessed part in the compressed state in the bottle neck said closure part and a portion that protrudes from the neck of said bottle head part.
  • the head portion of the plug substantially returns to its original shape while the closing portion remains compressed radially to the inside diameter of the bottle neck.
  • the plugs adopt a mushroom shape characteristic of a relatively long bottle hold.
  • Such corks for champagne-type sparkling wines comprise a body made of agglomerated cork and one or more washers attached to the lower end of this body and made of homogeneous natural cork.
  • a retaining wire cap is conventionally used to prevent the plug being expelled under the pressure of the wine contained inside the bottle.
  • the muzzle is generally made from metal son intended to bear against the head of the cap and comprises vertical branches connected to a belt which is twisted until it comes to tighten under a counter ring of the bottle neck.
  • a wire plate is also interposed between the cap head and the wire cap.
  • the head portion of the cap is compressed axially by the muselet laying machine, called muzzle, to tighten this belt a few millimeters below the counter-ring of the collar. bottle.
  • the head portion of the cap When the operation of laying and tightening the cap is complete, the head portion of the cap is no longer compressed and then tends to elastically resume its initial volume. This causes an upward movement of the muzzle until the belt comes into abutment against the counter ring of the bottle neck.
  • cork in the corking of sparkling wines is particularly related to the excellent qualities of this material, namely the almost rot-proof, the compressibility, the springback, the ease of machining from the raw bark of the cork oak .
  • the present invention aims to remedy these disadvantages.
  • the present invention aims at a stopper for effervescent liquids, especially for Champagne-type wines, which can be used with conventional muzzlemen which are designed for traditional cork stoppers.
  • the present invention also aims to provide a stopper for effervescent liquids to maintain over time good sealing properties between the cap head and the bottleneck of the bottle neck.
  • the present invention also aims to provide a cap that can be used for non-effervescent liquids.
  • the stopper for capping a bottle neck of liquid in particular effervescent liquid, comprises a head intended to protrude from the neck of the bottle and a foot intended to be driven into said neck.
  • the head comprises an intermediate body, and upper and lower parts arranged axially at least partly on either side of the intermediate body.
  • each of the upper and lower parts is made at least partly of elastically deformable material.
  • each of the upper and lower parts has a compressibility greater than the compressibility of the intermediate body.
  • a connecting part extending inside at least one through recess of the intermediate body and connecting the upper and lower parts.
  • the upper, lower and connecting parts of the head are made in one piece.
  • lower part of the cap head is meant that part of the head intended to come into contact with the rim of the neck of the bottle.
  • drinking is meant the annular end surface of the bottle neck.
  • upper part of the cap head the part of the head intended to come into contact against a wire cap or a plate of wire.
  • upper, lower and connecting parts made in one piece is meant that these three parts are made in one piece and can be obtained from a single material, for example by molding, or from several materials for example by overmoulding materials on top of one another.
  • the muzzling operation can be performed with muzzles used for corks.
  • the elastically deformable nature of the upper and lower parts of the head provides good sealing properties on the bottle neck of the neck under the effect of the compression exerted by the muzzle. Indeed, in response to this compression, the upper and lower parts of the head elastically tend to resume their initial volume, which promotes the maintenance of axial contact between the rim and the head.
  • the use of the intermediate body which has a compressibility lower than that of each of the upper and lower parts, promotes the maintenance over time of good sealing properties between the head and the mouth of the bottle neck.
  • the intermediate body facilitates the gripping of the cap head for the consumer.
  • the intermediate body is sandwiched between these lower and upper parts without risk of separation.
  • each of said upper and lower parts of the head is made at least partly of elastically deformable synthetic material, in particular elastomer or thermoplastic elastomer or silicone.
  • the intermediate body of the head is made of rigid material, for example rigid synthetic material or even wood or glass, porcelain, etc.
  • the foot can extend from the lower part of the head. At least the foot and the lower part of the head can advantageously be made in one piece.
  • the lower part of the head may comprise an annular lip intended to come into contact with the rim of the neck of the bottle in order to further improve the seal.
  • the head may further comprise at least one retaining link extending from one of the upper and lower portions of said head, made integral with said portion and intended to be fixed directly or indirectly on the bottleneck to ensure retention of the cap during its expulsion out of the bottle neck.
  • the retaining link can extend from the connecting portion of the head.
  • the upper part may comprise a cavity in which is mounted a reported insert.
  • the insert can be fixed by any suitable means within the cavity.
  • the insert can be fixed for example by gluing or by jamming.
  • the insert may for example have a decorative and / or informative function.
  • the insert can still have a safe function by enclosing a chip that emits a characteristic signal for identifying the bottle, or a chip that, until it has been deactivated, triggers an alarm when the detectors pass. placed at the outlet of crates of stores.
  • the invention also relates to a bottle containing a liquid, especially an effervescent liquid, provided with a neck defining a rim and comprising a stopper comprising a head projecting from the neck of the bottle and a foot driven into said neck, the head comprising an intermediate body and upper and lower parts arranged axially at least partly on either side of said body.
