  • This nozzle 6 forms a tubular body of generally conical shape projecting from the top face of the plate 12 of the base 4.
  • the outlet of the drain orifice 7 is disposed at the end of said nozzle 6.
  • the filling orifice 8 is, for its part, completely closable by means of a cover 9 made in one piece with the base 4 and mounted on the movable base 4 between a closed position of total closure. of the filling orifice 8 and an open position of said orifice 8.
  • This cover 9 is therefore independent in displacement of the drain orifice 7.
  • This cover 9 is connected to the plate 12 of the base 4 by a hinge link 11 obviously also made in one piece with the cover 9 and the base 4.
  • This cover 9 here takes the form of a tongue provided, on its face facing the plug 3 of a stud 10 inserted in the filling orifice 8 in the closed state of said filling orifice 8. This results in a seal upon closing.
  • the interlocking mounting of the stud 10 in the filling orifice 8 helps to keep the cover 9 in the closed position by snap-fastening.
  • the filling orifice 8 is formed on a recessed part of the top face of the plate 12 of the base so that the cover extends in the thickness of the plate 12 of the base 4 in the closed position of the drain orifice 8.
  • the passage of the cover 9 from the closed position to the open position is effected by simple pulling on the tab constituting the cover while the closing takes place by simple push on the tab.
  • This closure plug 3, as described above, can be protected by a protective cap 17 which overlaps at least the orifice 7 for emptying the closure plug 3.
  • the cap 17 comes to total covering of the closure plug 3.
  • This cap 17 is couplable by screwing to the neck 36 of the container 30 and for this purpose has a thread 23.
  • This thread 23 has a shape complementary to the thread 34 of the container 30.
  • cap 17 and the closure plug 3 can be secured to each other by interlocking in a configuration in which the cap 17 closes the outlet outside the orifice 7 for draining the plug 3.
  • the cap 17 internally housings a housing 20 inside which the end piece of the plug 3 is adapted to be inserted.
  • This housing 20 here takes the form of a non-opening chimney.
  • This chimney is provided internally at its top with a stud or stud 21 which is inserted inside the outlet outside the orifice 7 for emptying in the inserted state of the nozzle 6 of the plug 3 of closure in the housing 20 of the cover 17 as illustrated in Figures 9 and 10 .
  • the plug 3 and the cap 17 form between them, in the nested state, an annular space 22 open towards the outside of the cap 17 to allow, when the closure device 2 is placed on the container. 30, in parallel with the screwing of the cap 17 on the threaded neck 36 of the container 30, the press fitting of the base 4 of the plug into the opening 31 of the container 30.
  • the cap 17 is provided with a child safety device.
  • the cap 17 comprises an element 19 of the outer cap and an element 18 of the inner cap housed at least partially inside the element 19 of the outer cap, the element 18 of the inner cap and the element 19 of the outer cap are detachably coupled, and the element 19 of the outer cap is mounted movable between a close position and a position spaced from the element 18 of the inner cap, the element 19 of the outer cap being mounted free in rotation relative to the element 18 of the inner cap in the position separated from said elements 18, 19 of cap and being mounted integral in rotation with the element 18 of inner cap in a position close to the elements 18, 19 of cap.
  • the element 19 of the outer cap assumes the shape of a cap provided internally from the top of the cap with a wall defining a perimeter formed and forming on either side of the wall a housing at the inside the cap.
  • the housing located inside the wall is used to receive the chimney 20 fitted to the element 18 of the inner cover.
  • the housing located outside the wall is used to house the peripheral wall delimiting the element 18 of the inner cover.
  • the inner cover element 18 is in the form of a blind sleeve closed at one end, set back from its end, by a wall which carries the chimney projecting towards the end of the sleeve.
  • the opposite end of the sleeve is provided with a tamper-evident ring 24 connected to the body of the sleeve by bridge-type connections forming zones 27 of weakness or incipient fractures capable of breaking under the effect of a displacement relative in rotation of the sleeve and the ring to allow separation of the ring 24 from the tamper-evident of the sleeve.
  • the sleeve further comprises a thread 23. It is this thread 23 of the cap which allows a screw connection of the cap with the container 30 by cooperation with the thread 34 of the container 30.
  • the tamper-evident ring 24 is therefore separable from the tapped part 23 of the inner cover element 18.
  • the free edge of the wall of the outer cap element is provided with male or female shapes 26 complementary to male or female shapes formed on the face side of the wall of the inner cover element from which the chimney projects.
  • the fitting of the closure device 2, as described above, on the container 30 therefore takes place as follows:
  • the closure plug 3 and the cap 17 are coupled to interlocking as illustrated in the figure 9 where the end piece 6 of the closure plug 3 is fitted into the chimney of the inner cover element 18.
  • This closure device 2 is positioned at the opening 31 of the container 30 to allow the cap 17 to be screwed onto the neck 36 of the container and the fitting of the closure plug 3 in the opening 31 of the container 30. In this position, the edges 35 of the opening 31 of the container 30 extend opposite the annular space 22 formed between the skirt 14 of the closure plug 3 and the internal threaded portion of the cap 17.
  • notches 33 are capable of preventing the rotation of the ring 24 in a direction of rotation corresponding to the direction of unscrewing of the cap 17 in the screwed state of the cap 17 on the container 30. It is why, during the unscrewing of the cap 17, the bridges 27 connecting between the ring 24 and the threaded part of the cap break.
  • the cap can then be fully unscrewed while the ring remains in place on the container as illustrated in the figure 5 .
  • the rupture of the bridges materializes the fact that the container has been opened.
  • the container 30 can be emptied using the emptying orifice 7 by pressing the bottle body. If a filling of the bottle is necessary, it is enough to lift up the lid of the tray from the base and to fill the container. Once the filling is complete, the cover can be brought back to the closed position and kept in said position by a simple push on the cover. The cap can then be screwed back onto the container until it is used again.
