Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a closure device for a container neck.
  • the invention relates generally to plugs, typically made of plastic, which comprise a tubular skirt, designed to surround the neck of a container to be plugged and that their inner face is fixed removably to the face external of this neck: this attachment is for example made by screwing, as in FR 2 987 607, the plugs then being generally called screw caps, or this removable attachment can be made by jamming, as in FR 2 908 746, the plugs are then generally called snap caps or "snap".
  • the skirt is surmounted by a closing wall from the periphery of which the skirt extends axially: this closure wall extends across the container neck to close it when the skirt is fixed on the neck.
  • a lip extending from the closure wall is arranged inside the skirt: when the skirt is attached to the neck, the outer face of this lip, that is to say its face turned radially away from the central axis of the skirt, rests tightly against an inner face of the neck so as to seal the closure of the neck.
  • This sealing lip has its outer face which is generally bulged to ensure the most tight contact possible with the neck, the lip then being typically described as "olive lip”.
  • US 5,458,252 discloses a plug having a lip of this type, inside which is arranged a deformable membrane.
  • This membrane includes a central portion and a peripheral portion connecting the central portion to the lip.
  • the plug of US 5 458 252 finds particular application in the field of packaging for medical use: the membrane is designed to deform during an increase in pressure inside a container closed by the cap. More precisely, during such an increase in pressure, the central and peripheral portions of the membrane do not deform together, but successively: in a first phase, only the central portion deforms, by articulation of a flexible hinge provided for in FIG.
  • the object of the present invention is to improve the lip caps, for example olive lip, by strengthening the tightness of their interface with the neck of a container they close, even in case of circumstances damaging to this seal , especially in case of heating of the container neck and / or plug for sterilization or other purposes.
  • the invention relates to a closure device for a container neck, as defined in claim 1.
  • One of the basic ideas of the invention is to seek to "re-press" the lip against the inner face of the neck after the skirt has been attached to the neck and, more generally, after the closure device has been installed. on the neck, including, where appropriate, after circumstances such as heating of the closure device and / or the container neck for sterilization or other purposes, which are detrimental to the sealing performance of the interface between the neck and the closure device, in particular between the neck and the lip.
  • the invention provides for integrating a bistable membrane capable of deforming between two stable configurations, while remaining axially fixed, by its peripheral end, to the lip.
  • the entire membrane, except its peripheral end is disposed on an axial side of the geometric plane at which its peripheral end is fixedly attached to the lip
  • the entire membrane, except its peripheral end is disposed on the other axial side of this geometric plane: it is understood that passing the membrane from the first to the second configuration, the membrane is deformed tending to expand the lip transversely, that is to say say by tending to spread the lip radially outwards over the entire periphery of the lip.
  • the membrane is designed so that in the second configuration, this membrane continues to apply to the lip part of these expansion forces, which is to say that when the closure device is in place on the neck, the membrane, once passed in the second configuration, press the lip against the neck.
  • the membrane Due to its arrangement within the closure device according to the invention, the membrane is designed to pass from its first to its second configuration under the effect of an overpressure inside the container, the intensity of this overpressure obviously having to be sufficient to deform the membrane from its first configuration, intrinsically stable, to at least one deformed state from which the membrane tends to reach a stable state corresponding to its second configuration.
  • this overpressure inside the container is preferably obtained by inverting the bottom of the container at the end of the capping of a container having a bottom consisting of an invertible membrane, such as that described in the international application. published under the number WO 2015/192918.
  • the closure device according to the invention can be manufactured simply, economically and efficiently, in particular by molding plastic material either in one piece or in two pieces to be assembled together. , advantageously made of the same plastic material.

  • FIGS. 1 to 5 show a closure device 1 adapted to be fixed by screwing, removably, onto a neck 2 of a container 3, shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, on which only part of this container 3 is visible.
  • the neck 2 is integral with the rest of the container 3, especially when the latter is a glass or plastic bottle, or adapted to be secured permanently to a wall of the container, at a opening through this wall.
  • the closure device 1 and the neck 2 have respective shapes extending around central longitudinal axes which are substantially merged, under the reference XX, when the closure device 1 is fixed on the neck 2 as in FIGS. 5.
  • the terms "upper” and “high” correspond to a direction generally parallel to the axis XX and from the main body of the container 3 to the free end of its neck 2, that is to say a direction directed towards the upper part of the figures, while the terms “lower” and “bottom” correspond to a direction of opposite direction.
  • the adjective “interior” designates a direction transverse to the axis XX which is oriented towards this axis
  • the adjective “outside” designates a direction transverse to the axis, which is oriented in opposite directions.
  • the neck 2 comprises a tubular body 4 with a circular base, of axis X-X. As shown in Figures 4 and 5, the body 4 defines, at its upper end, a rim 5 at which the liquid contained in the container 3 or, more generally, the contents of this container is intended to be discharged. On the outer face of the body 4, the neck 2 comprises a thread 6 projecting from an outer face 4A of the body 4.
  • the closure device 1 comprises two distinct components which, in order to dispose of the closure device in a functional state illustrated in FIG. 3, are fixedly joined to one another. These two components are a plug 10 and an insert 20.
  • the plug 10 when the closure device 1 is considered fixed on the neck 2, is open at its lower end and closed at its upper end by a closure wall January 1.
  • This closure wall 1 1 extends across or even perpendicular to the axis X-X and has a solid disc shape which is substantially centered on the axis X-X.
  • the plug 10 also comprises a tubular skirt 12, which is centered on the axis X-X and which extends axially downwards from the outer periphery of the closure wall January 1.
  • the skirt 12 thus laterally has an outer face 12A and an inner face 12B, which, in the example considered in the figures, are both circular, centered on the axis X-X.
  • the closure wall 1 1 extends both above the neck 2, being arranged in particular at axial plumb 5, and across this neck, being arranged in particular across the entire opening of this neck.
  • the skirt 12 externally surrounds the body 4 of the neck 2, its inner face 12B facing the outer face 4A of this body 4.
  • the skirt 12 is internally provided with removable fastening means to the neck 2, these fixing means being constituted, in the embodiment considered here, a net 13 which projects from the inner face 12B of the skirt and which is wound helically on this inner face 12B.
  • Fixing the closure device 1 on the neck 2 is to screw the thread 13 around the body 4 of the neck, the thread 13 engaging the thread 6 of the body 4, until the closure wall 1 1 is downwards against the rim 5, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5.
  • the withdrawal of the closure device 1 from the collar 2 consists of unscrewing the thread 13 vis-à-vis the net 6, to the clear.
  • the plug 10 further comprises an annular lip 14, which extends axially downwardly from the closure wall 1 1, centrally on the axis XX, inside the skirt 12: when the closure device 1 is fixed on the neck 2 as in Figures 4 and 5, an outer face 14A of the lip 14 is pressed sealingly against an inner face 4B of the body 4 of the neck 2 to seal the closure of this neck by the capping device.
  • the outer face 14A of the lip 14 is bulged outwardly, in particular to increase the extent and / or the intensity of the contact between the lip 14 and the body 4 of the neck 2.
  • the inner face 12B of the skirt 12 is provided at its upper end with a projecting heel 15 which strangles locally the inner periphery of the skirt 12 relative to the remainder of the inner face 12B of the skirt.
  • this heel 15 tightly adjusts the outer periphery of the rim 5 of the neck 2, the neck thus found, in a way, pinched between the lip 14 and the heel 15.
  • the insert 20 comprises, in turn, a membrane 21 and an annular ring 22, which surrounds the periphery of the membrane 21.
  • the membrane 21 extends generally transversely to the axis XX, being arranged inside the skirt 12, and the central axis of the ring 22 is substantially coincident with the axis XX, so that, for convenience, this central axis of the ring 22 is also designated later under the reference XX.
  • the ring 22 is designed, in particular by its external dimensioning, to be engaged and fixed inside the lip 14 of the plug 10 so as to achieve the fixed assembly between the plug 10 and the insert 20.
  • the ring 22 is fitted, in particular force-fitted, inside the lip 14, so as to be stuck fixedly against the inner face 14B of the lip 14.
  • the inner face 14B of the lip 14 has a counterpane which contributes to maintaining the position of the ring 22 inside the lip 14 in the assembled state of the closure device 1.
  • the membrane 21 has two concentric parts, namely a central portion 23 and a peripheral portion 24, which, when the insert 20 is assembled to the stopper 10, are substantially centered on the axis XX.
  • the central portion 23 has a generally disc shape and the peripheral portion 24 has a generally annular shape.
  • the central portion 23 and the peripheral portion 24 are joined to each other by a flexible hinge 25 which runs around the axis XX: thus, the outer periphery of the central portion 23 is, over its entire extent, connected to the inner periphery of the peripheral portion 24 by the flexible hinge 25 which thus connects directly to each other these outer and inner peripheries.
  • the flexible hinge 25 makes it possible to locally bend the membrane 21, by relative articulation between its central portion 23 and its peripheral portion 24 around a geometric axis of articulation running around the X-X axis.
  • the peripheral portion 24 constitutes a peripheral end 21A of the membrane 21, forming a flexible hinge 26 joining the ring 22.
  • This flexible hinge 26 extends around the axis XX and allows the relative articulation between the peripheral portion 24 and the ring 22 around a geometric axis of articulation which runs around the axis XX.
  • this peripheral end 21 A and this ring 22 are fixed relative to each other in the direction of the axis XX, so that, in the assembled state of the closure device 1 as in Figure 3, the peripheral end 21 A of the membrane 21 is connected to the lip 14 of the cap 10 fixedly in the direction of the axis XX, by running over the entire inner periphery of the lip 14 at a geometrical plane P which is transverse, or, as here, perpendicular to the axis XX.
  • a geometrical plane P which is transverse, or, as here, perpendicular to the axis XX.
  • peripheral end 21 A of the diaphragm 21 constitutes the part of the flexible hinge 26, which remains fixed axially with respect to the lip 14, the remainder of this flexible hinge 26 being constituted by a peripheral band of the peripheral portion 24 of the membrane 21, this peripheral band connecting to each other the peripheral end 21 to the rest of the peripheral portion 24.
  • the membrane 21 is deformable between two stable configurations, namely a first configuration, shown in Figures 3 and 4, and a second configuration shown in Figure 5.
  • the whole of the membrane 21, except its peripheral end 21A is arranged on the lower side of the geometrical plane P, with its central part 23 which is further away axially from this geometrical plane P than its peripheral part 24.
  • the entire diaphragm 21, except its peripheral end 21A is disposed on the upper side of the geometrical plane P, with its central portion 23 which is further away axially from this geometrical plane P than its peripheral portion 24.
  • the peripheral end 21 A is axially fixed at the geometrical plane P, the axial positioning between this peripheral end 21A and the geometric plane P is unchanged when the membrane 21 is deformed between its first and second configurations.
  • the membrane 21 is designed so that, once in its second deformation configuration, the membrane maintains at least a portion of the aforementioned expansion forces, thereby firmly pressing the lip 14 against the neck 2 , which reinforces the sealing of the contact between the outer face 14A of the lip 14 and the inner face 4B of the body 4 of the neck 2 compared to the sealing of this contact when the membrane 21 is in its first configuration.
  • the membrane 21 occupying the second configuration thus applies to the lip 14 a force F 'which is transverse and centrifugal with respect to the axis XX, as indicated in FIG. 5.
  • the capacity of the membrane 21 to thus press the lip 14 against the neck 2 once this membrane has passed into the second configuration results from the structure and the arrangement of its central portion 23 , its peripheral portion 24 and its flexible hinge 25.
  • an overpressure is created inside the container 3: by its arrangement inside and across the neck 2, the membrane 21 is sensitive to a fluidic force F, shown in Figure 5, generated inside the container 3, in particular inside the neck 2, by the aforementioned overpressure.
  • the origin of this overpressure is not limiting of the invention, as long as the intensity of the overpressure is sufficient to deform the membrane 21 from its first configuration to its second configuration or at the very least, to an intermediate deformed state from which the membrane 21 will tend, by return to a stable state, to its second configuration rather than to its first configuration.
  • the above-mentioned overpressure results from the inversion of a wall, in particular of the bottom, of the container 3.
  • the central portion 23 of the membrane 21 is provided on its upper face with a spacer 27.
  • this spacer 27 has for example an annular shape, centered on the axis XX and circular base.
  • the spacer 27 is axially closer to the closure wall January 1.
  • the axial dimensioning of the spacer 27 is provided so that, when the membrane 21 reaches the second deformation configuration, the spacer 27 abuts axially against the closing wall January 1, thereby forcing the membrane 21 downwards, in the direction of the geometric plane P: this constraint advantageously strengthens the pressing action of the lip 14 against the neck 2 by the membrane 21 and, there-by, the sealing of the contact between the lip and the neck.
  • the manufacturing specificities of the closure device 1 described so far are not limiting of the invention.
  • a practical embodiment consists in producing, on the one hand, the plug 10 in one piece by molding a plastic material and, on the other hand, the insert 20 in one piece by molding.
  • a plastic material which is advantageously the same as that of the plug 10.
  • the plug 10 and / or the insert 20 are advantageously made of a semi-rigid plastic material, such as polypropylene or polyethylene, preferably shaping by molding.

  • this plug corresponds to pre-existing embodiments: thus, the capping device 1 can be obtained by assembling a pre-existing plug constituting the plug 10, with the insert 20.
  • FIGS. 6 and 7 show an alternative embodiment of the closure device 1, in the form of a closure device 101.
  • the closure device 101 comprises a plug 1 10 which is functionally or even, as here, structurally similar to the plug 10 of the closure device 1.
  • the cap 1 10 will not be described here further.
  • the closure device 101 also comprises an insert 120 including a membrane 121 and a ring 122.
  • the ring 122 is functionally, or, as here, structurally similar to the ring 22 of the insert 20 of the closure device 1.
  • the ring 122 will not be described here further.
  • the membrane 121 it is distinguished from the membrane 21 of the insert 20 by the fact that, rather than being made in the form of concentric parts such as the central portion 23 and the peripheral portion 24 of the membrane 21, this membrane 121 consists of a web 128. As clearly visible in FIGS. 6 and 7, this web 128 has, outside its peripheral end corresponding to the peripheral end 121 A of the membrane 121, a substantially homogeneous thickness, being understood that this thickness corresponds to the smallest dimension of the three dimensions of the web 128 and is delimited between the lower and upper faces of the web 128.
  • the sail conformation of the membrane 121 allows the latter to deform between the first and second configurations, by continuously bending the web 128, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7.
  • the behavior of the membrane 121 is similar to that of the membrane 21, in particular in connection with the application to the membrane 121 of the fluidic force F and the application by the membrane 121 of the force F to the sealing lip of the plug 1 10.
  • FIGS. 8 to 11 show an alternative embodiment of the closure device 1, in the form of a closure device 201.
  • the closure device 201 comprises a plug 210 including a skirt 212 and a lip 214 which are functionally or even, as here, structurally similar to the skirt 12 and the lip 14 of the plug 10 of the closure device 1.
  • the plug 210 differs from the plug 10 in that, unlike the latter, the plug 210 is not, at its upper end, closed by a closure wall similar to the closure wall January 1. More specifically, the plug 210 comprises, at its upper end, a discoidal crown 21 1, which is centered on the axis XX and which is perforated in its central region, that is to say traversed from one side to the other by a hole 21 1 A.
  • the skirt 12 and the lip 214 extend axially downwards from the ring 21 1, similarly to the arrangement of the skirt 12 and the lip 14 from the relevant peripheral region of the closure wall 1 1 of the plug 10.

  • the membrane 221 is not associated with a ring, such as the ring 22 of the closure device 1, and is not integrated with an insert other than the plug, such as the insert 20 of the closure device 1: in contrast, the membrane 221 is integrated in the plug 210, without interposing between the membrane 221 and the lip 214 an intermediate piece.
  • the membrane 221 is advantageously integral with the lip 214, especially molded with this lip.
  • the hole 21 1 A of the ring 21 1 is found disposed at the axial plumb with the diaphragm 221, so that the closure of the plug 10 upwards is provided jointly by the ring 21 1 and the membrane 221, although, as in the embodiment shown in the figures, this ring 21 1 and this membrane 221 are not located at the same level along the axis XX.
  • the closure device 201 behaves similarly to the closure device 1, in particular in connection with the application on the membrane 221 of the fluidic force F to pass this membrane from its first deformation configuration to its second configuration deformation, as well as in connection with the application to the lip 214 of the force F 'by the membrane 221 when the latter occupies its second deformation configuration.
  • the cap 210 of the closure device 201 does not correspond to a pre-existing plug.
  • the manufacture, in particular by molding, of the plug 210 therefore requires specific provisions.
  • the latter comprises an insert, intended to close the hole 21 1 A of the ring 21 1: this insert thus constitutes a cap 230 of closure, which in Figure 8 , is shown disassembled plug 210 while, in Figures 9 to 1 1, this cap 230 is assembled to the plug 210.
  • This assembly is to fix the cap 230 to the hole 21 1 A of the ring 21 1, and by any appropriate means for example by welding, gluing, wedging, etc.
  • this cap can be made of very diverse materials: by way of non-limiting example, the cap 230 can be made of a multilayer complex, having reinforced capacity for protecting the contents of the container 3 against oxygen and / or ultraviolet, more generally having enhanced capacity for preserving the product contained in the container 3. Whatever its constituent material, the cap 230 may advantageously integrate, on its upper side, a marking, such as an advertisement.
  • FIG. 12 to 14 is shown an alternative embodiment of the closure device 101, in the form of a closure device 301.
  • the closure device 301 comprises a plug 310 which is functionally similar to the plug 1 10 of the closure device 101, in the sense that the plug 310 includes a closure wall 31 1, a skirt 312 and a lip 314 respectively similar to those of the cap 1 10.

More specifically, as an alternative to the embodiment provided for the junction between the lip 214 and the membrane 221 of the closure device 201, the membrane 321 does not extend protruding from an inner face of the lip 314, but protruding from a lower end 314C of the lip 314, as clearly visible in Figure 12.

  • the fluid 340 is a gas. Furthermore, also as a non-limiting disposition, the filling of the free volume V310 by the fluid 340, such as the injection of gas, is carried out during the manufacture of the plug 310, in particular during its molding.
  • the presence, in the free volume V310 of the plug 310, of the fluid 340 tends to reinforce the seal at the interface between the closure device 301 and the neck 2 because the lip 314 s is more pressing on this neck than in the absence of such a fluid, provided that the fluid is present in a compressed state, that is to say with a pressure at least slightly above atmospheric pressure, and this independently of the deformation configuration of the membrane 321.
  • the plugs 10, 1, 10, 210 and / or 310 may be designed as plugs "snap"; in this case, their detachable fastening means at the neck 2, provided on the inner face of their skirt, comprise a clip, continuous or interrupted on the inner periphery of the skirt, this clip being adapted to be wedged, removably, under an external projecting boss of the body 4 of the neck 2;
