Description

DOMAINE DE L'INVENTIONFIELD OF THE INVENTION

L'invention concerne un dispositif de fermeture d'un récipient, le bouchon de fermeture dudit dispositif et un ensemble comprenant le récipient et le dispositif de fermeture.The invention relates to a container closure device, the closure cap of said device and an assembly comprising the container and the closure device.

Elle concerne plus particulièrement un bouchon de fermeture au moins partielle de l'ouverture d'un récipient à corps souple vidangeable par pressage du corps du récipient, ledit bouchon comprenant une base solidarisable au récipient, cette base comprenant un orifice traversant dit de remplissage et supportant, réalisé d'une seule pièce avec la base, un embout en saillie d'une face dite du dessus de la base, cet embout délimitant un orifice traversant dit de vidange.It relates more particularly to an at least partial closure cap for the opening of a container with a flexible body which can be drained by pressing the body of the container, said cap comprising a base which can be joined to the container, this base comprising a through orifice said to be filling and supporting , made in one piece with the base, a tip projecting from a face called the top of the base, this end piece defining a through hole said drain.

ART ANTERIEURPRIOR ART

Un bouchon de fermeture du type précité est connu comme l'illustre le brevet US-4.533.068 .A closure cap of the aforementioned type is known as the patent illustrates. US 4533068 .

De nombreux récipients tels que les flacons de liquide à vapoter nécessitent, au cours de leur utilisation, un chargement en liquide qui peut s'opérer par exemple avant la première vidange. Ces flacons sont en effet vendus préremplis d'une première composition liquide et une seconde deuxième composition liquide doit être ajoutée pour obtenir le liquide souhaité. On utilise dans ce cadre l'orifice de remplissage du récipient qui est un orifice plus large que l'orifice de vidange. Le mélange obtenu est ensuite transféré dans un réservoir à l'aide de l'embout équipé de l'orifice de vidange du bouchon. La présence d'un embout permet de remplir avec précision un réservoir dont l'orifice de remplissage est de faible diamètre. Jusqu'à présent, l'orifice de vidange et l'orifice de remplissage sont au moins partiellement communs et il existe un risque d'ouverture intempestive de l'orifice de remplissage au cours de l'utilisation de l'orifice de vidange.Many containers such as vials of liquid to be vaped require, during their use, a loading of liquid which can take place for example before the first emptying. These bottles are sold pre-filled with a first liquid composition and a second second liquid composition must be added to obtain the desired liquid. In this context, the container filling opening is used, which is a wider opening than the emptying opening. The mixture obtained is then transferred to a tank using the nozzle fitted with the plug drain hole. The presence of a nozzle makes it possible to precisely fill a tank whose filling orifice is of small diameter. So far, the orifice of drain and the filling opening are at least partially common and there is a risk of inadvertent opening of the filling opening during the use of the drainage opening.

BUTS ET RESUMEGOALS AND SUMMARY

Un but de l'invention est de proposer un bouchon de fermeture dont la conception permet de limiter voire de supprimer les risques d'ouverture intempestive de l'orifice de remplissage au cours de l'utilisation de l'orifice de vidange du bouchon de fermeture.An object of the invention is to provide a closure plug whose design makes it possible to limit or even eliminate the risks of inadvertent opening of the filling orifice during the use of the drain orifice of the closing plug. .

Un autre but de l'invention est de proposer un dispositif de fermeture dont la conception permet une pose facilitée sur le récipient sans nuire aux performances du bouchon.Another object of the invention is to provide a closure device the design of which allows easy installation on the container without adversely affecting the performance of the stopper.

Un autre but de l'invention est de proposer un dispositif de fermeture dont la conception permet l'intégration d'une sécurité enfant et d'une bague d'inviolabilité sans nuire aux performances du bouchon.Another object of the invention is to provide a closure device whose design allows the integration of a child safety device and a tamper-evident ring without harming the performance of the cap.

A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet, un bouchon de fermeture au moins partielle de l'ouverture d'un récipient à corps souple vidangeable par pressage du corps du récipient, ledit bouchon comprenant une base solidarisable au récipient, ladite base comprenant un orifice traversant dit de remplissage, cette base supportant, réalisé d'une seule pièce avec la base, un embout en saillie d'une face, dite du dessus de la base, cet embout délimitant un orifice traversant dit de vidange, caractérisé en ce que l'orifice de remplissage est distinct de l'orifice de vidange et est décalé de l'orifice de vidange suivant une direction transversale à l'axe longitudinal de l'embout, en ce que le bouchon comprend un opercule d'obturation totale de l'orifice de remplissage, cet opercule étant réalisé d'une seule pièce avec la base et étant monté sur la base mobile entre une position fermée d'obturation totale de l'orifice de remplissage et une position ouverte dudit orifice.To this end, the subject of the invention is a plug at least partially closing the opening of a container with a flexible body which can be drained by pressing the body of the container, said plug comprising a base which can be fixed to the container, said base comprising a through orifice said to fill, this base supporting, produced in a single piece with the base, an end protruding from one face, said from above the base, this end defining a through orifice said emptying, characterized in that the filling orifice is distinct from the emptying orifice and is offset from the emptying orifice in a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis of the nozzle, in that the plug comprises a cover for completely closing the filling opening, this cover being made in one piece with the base and being mounted on the movable base between a closed position for completely closing the filling opening and an open position of said opening.

La réalisation de deux orifices distincts, c'est-à-dire décalés latéralement, et la présence d'un opercule indépendant en déplacement de l'orifice de vidange permettent une utilisation de l'orifice de vidange d'une part, et de l'orifice de remplissage d'autre part, dans de bonnes conditions.The realization of two separate orifices, that is to say offset laterally, and the presence of an independent cover in displacement of the drain orifice allow use of the drain orifice on the one hand, and the filling port on the other hand, in good conditions.

Selon un mode de réalisation, l'opercule est maintenu en position fermée par encliquetage.According to one embodiment, the cover is held in the closed position by snap-fastening.

Selon un mode de réalisation, l'opercule, qui affecte de préférence la forme d'une languette, est muni, sur sa face tournée vers le bouchon, d'un téton inséré dans l'orifice de remplissage, à l'état fermé dudit orifice de remplissage. Il en résulte une fermeture de manière sensiblement étanche dudit orifice.According to one embodiment, the cover, which preferably takes the form of a tongue, is provided, on its face facing the plug, with a stud inserted in the filling orifice, in the closed state of said filling hole. This results in a substantially sealed closure of said orifice.

Selon un mode de réalisation, la base comprend un plateau dont l'une des faces, dite du dessus, forme la face du dessus de la base et dont la face opposée dite du dessous est munie d'une jupe tubulaire définissant un espace intérieur en communication fluidique avec les orifices de remplissage et de vidange, cette jupe tubulaire formant un corps creux apte à permettre une liaison par emboîtement avec le récipient. La liaison du bouchon de fermeture avec le récipient peut ainsi s'opérer simplement par emboîtement par emmanchement de la jupe tubulaire formant un corps creux à l'intérieur du goulot du récipient.According to one embodiment, the base comprises a plate, one of the faces of which is called the top, forms the top face of the base and the opposite face of which is called the bottom is provided with a tubular skirt defining an interior space in fluid communication with the filling and emptying orifices, this tubular skirt forming a hollow body capable of allowing a connection by fitting with the container. The connection of the closure cap with the container can thus take place simply by fitting by fitting the tubular skirt forming a hollow body inside the neck of the container.

Selon un mode de réalisation, le plateau s'étend en débord de la jupe pour former une butée. Cette butée dite de limitation d'enfoncement est apte à limiter l'enfoncement de la base dans l'ouverture du récipient lors d'une liaison à emboîtement par emmanchement de la base dans l'ouverture du récipient.According to one embodiment, the plate extends beyond the skirt to form a stop. This so-called insertion limitation stop is able to limit the insertion of the base into the opening of the container during an interlocking connection by fitting the base into the opening of the container.

L'invention a encore pour objet un dispositif de fermeture de l'ouverture d'un récipient à corps souple vidangeable par pressage du corps du récipient, ledit dispositif de fermeture comprenant un bouchon de fermeture au moins partielle de l'ouverture dudit récipient et une coiffe de protection du bouchon, ledit bouchon comprenant une base solidarisable au récipient, ladite base comprenant un orifice traversant dit de remplissage, cette base supportant un embout en saillie d'une face dite du dessus de la base, cet embout délimitant un orifice traversant dit de vidange, et la coiffe étant apte à venir à recouvrement au moins partiel du bouchon, en particulier de l'embout dudit bouchon, caractérisé en ce que le bouchon est conforme à celui décrit ci-dessus et en ce que la coiffe et le bouchon sont solidarisables l'un à l'autre par emboîtement.The invention also relates to a device for closing the opening of a container with a flexible body which can be drained by pressing the body of the container, said closing device comprising an at least partial closure cap. of the opening of said container and a cap protection cap, said cap comprising a base which can be fixed to the container, said base comprising a through orifice said to be filled, this base supporting a tip projecting from a face known as the top of the base , this end-piece delimiting a through orifice known as a drain, and the cap being able to come to at least partial covering of the stopper, in particular of the end-piece of said stopper, characterized in that the stopper conforms to that described above and in that the cap and the plug can be joined to each other by interlocking.

Selon un mode de réalisation, la coiffe ménage intérieurement un logement à l'intérieur duquel l'embout du bouchon est apte à s'insérer. Il en résulte une possibilité de couplage aisé par emboîtement du bouchon de fermeture et de la coiffe.According to one embodiment, the cap internally cleans a housing inside which the end piece of the plug is able to be inserted. This results in a possibility of easy coupling by fitting the closure cap and the cap.

Selon un mode de réalisation, le bouchon et la coiffe ménagent entre eux, à l'état emboîté, un espace annulaire ouvert en direction de l'extérieur de la coiffe. Cet espace annulaire permet la réception du bord de l'ouverture du récipient. Ainsi, la coiffe et le bouchon peuvent à l'état couplé être positionnés sur le récipient pour permettre, en parallèle d'un couplage du bouchon avec le récipient, un couplage de la coiffe avec le récipient.According to one embodiment, the plug and the cap provide between them, in the fitted state, an annular space open towards the outside of the cap. This annular space allows the reception of the edge of the container opening. Thus, the cap and the cap can in the coupled state be positioned on the container to allow, in parallel with a coupling of the cap with the container, a coupling of the cap with the container.

Selon un mode de réalisation, la coiffe comprend un élément de coiffe extérieur et un élément de coiffe intérieur logé au moins partiellement à l'intérieur de l'élément de coiffe extérieur, l'élément de coiffe intérieur et l'élément de coiffe extérieur sont couplés de manière indémontable, et l'élément de coiffe extérieur est monté mobile entre une position rapprochée et une position écartée de l'élément de coiffe intérieur, l'élément de coiffe extérieur étant monté libre en rotation par rapport à l'élément de coiffe intérieur en position écartée desdits éléments de coiffe et étant monté solidaire en rotation de l'élément de coiffe intérieur en position rapprochée des éléments de coiffe. Cette disposition permet de limiter un risque de dévissage de la coiffe par des enfants.According to one embodiment, the cap comprises an outer cap element and an inner cap element at least partially housed inside the outer cap element, the inner cap element and the outer cap element are detachably coupled, and the outer cap element is mounted to move between a close position and a position away from the inner cap element, the outer cap element being mounted so that it can rotate freely relative to the cap element inside in a position apart from said cap elements and being mounted integral in rotation with the inner cap element in position close to the cap elements. This arrangement makes it possible to limit a risk of the cap being unscrewed by children.

Selon un mode de réalisation, l'élément de coiffe intérieur est un élément de coiffe taraudé pour permettre une solidarisation par vissage au récipient et l'élément de coiffe intérieur est muni d'une bague d'inviolabilité séparable de la partie taraudée de l'élément de coiffe intérieur. La présence d'une bague d'inviolabilité séparable permet de repérer une tentative d'enlèvement partiel ou total de la coiffe.According to one embodiment, the inner cap element is a threaded cap element to allow a fastening by screwing to the container and the inner cap element is provided with a tamper-evident ring separable from the threaded part of the inner cap element. The presence of a separable tamper-evident ring makes it possible to identify an attempt to partially or completely remove the cap.

DESCRIPTION DETAILLEEDETAILED DESCRIPTION

Comme mentionné ci-dessus, l'invention a pour objet un bouchon 3 de fermeture protégeable par une coiffe 17 de protection pour former un dispositif 2 de fermeture positionnable sur le col 36 d'un récipient 30 à corps 32 souple vidangeable par pressage du corps 32 du récipient 30 en vue de la réalisation d'un ensemble 1 conforme à la figure 5.As mentioned above, the subject of the invention is a closure cap 3 which can be protected by a protective cap 17 to form a closure device 2 which can be positioned on the neck 36 of a container 30 with a flexible body 32 drainable by pressing the body 32 of the container 30 for the production of an assembly 1 in accordance with the figure 5 .

Le récipient 30 est, dans l'exemple représenté, un flacon dont le col 36 est muni d'une ouverture 31 destinée à être fermée par le dispositif 2 de fermeture. Les bords 35 de l'ouverture 31 du récipient 30 qui forment le col 36 du récipient 30 sont munis extérieurement d'un filetage 34 pour une liaison par vissage avec la coiffe 17 du dispositif 2 de fermeture et de crans 33 anti-rotation disposés les uns à la suite des autres sur le pourtour du col 36 du récipient 30 de sorte que le filetage 34 est disposé entre les crans 33 et l'ouverture 31 du récipient 30. Ces crans 33 sont destinés à coopérer avec une bague 24 d'inviolabilité équipant la coiffe 17 et qui sera décrite ci-après.The container 30 is, in the example shown, a bottle whose neck 36 is provided with an opening 31 intended to be closed by the closure device 2. The edges 35 of the opening 31 of the container 30 which form the neck 36 of the container 30 are externally provided with a thread 34 for a screw connection with the cap 17 of the closure device 2 and anti-rotation notches 33 arranged one after the other on the periphery of the neck 36 of the container 30 so that the thread 34 is disposed between the notches 33 and the opening 31 of the container 30. These notches 33 are intended to cooperate with a tamper-evident ring 24 equipping the cap 17 and which will be described below.

L'ouverture 31 du récipient 30 est, quant à elle, dimensionnée pour un couplage par emboîtement par emmanchement partiel du bouchon 3 de fermeture dans ladite ouverture 31.The opening 31 of the container 30 is, for its part, dimensioned for coupling by interlocking by partial fitting of the closure plug 3 in said opening 31.

Ce bouchon 3 de fermeture, tel qu'illustré aux figures 7 et 8, est réalisé en matière de synthèse, par exemple, en polypropylène. Ce bouchon 3 comprend une base 4 solidarisable au récipient 30 par introduction à force par emmanchement au moins partiel de la base 4 dans l'ouverture 31 du récipient 30.This closure cap 3, as illustrated in Figures 7 and 8 , is made of synthetic material, for example, polypropylene. This plug 3 comprises a base 4 which can be secured to the container 30 by force-fitting at least partially of the base 4 into the opening 31 of the container 30.

Cette base 4 supporte, réalisée d'une seule pièce avec la base 4, un embout 6 en saillie d'une face 5 de dessus de la base 4. Cet embout 6, formé par un corps tubulaire de section transversale quelconque, délimite un orifice 7 traversant de vidange qui est utilisé lors de la vidange du récipient 30 par pressage du corps 32 souple du récipient.This base 4 supports, made in one piece with the base 4, a tip 6 projecting from a face 5 from above the base 4. This tip 6, formed by a tubular body of any cross section, delimits a through hole 7 for emptying which is used when emptying the container 30 by pressing the flexible body 32 of the container.

La base 4 comprend encore un orifice 8 traversant de remplissage qui est utilisé pour le remplissage du récipient 30. Le diamètre du débouché à l'extérieur de l'orifice 8 de remplissage est supérieur au diamètre du débouché de l'orifice 7 de vidange.The base 4 also comprises a through-filling orifice 8 which is used for filling the container 30. The diameter of the outlet outside the filling orifice 8 is greater than the diameter of the outlet of the drain orifice 7.

Dans l'exemple représenté, la base 4 comprend un plateau 12 dont l'une des faces, dite du dessus, forme la face 5 du dessus de la base 4 et dont la face 13 opposée du dessous est munie d'une jupe 14 tubulaire définissant un espace 15 intérieur en communication fluidique avec les orifices de remplissage 8 et de vidange 7.In the example shown, the base 4 comprises a plate 12 of which one of the faces, called the top, forms the face 5 of the top of the base 4 and the opposite face 13 of the bottom is provided with a tubular skirt 14 defining an interior space 15 in fluid communication with the filling orifices 8 and emptying orifices 7.

Cette jupe 14 tubulaire forme un corps creux apte à permettre une liaison par emboîtement avec le récipient 30. En effet, cette jupe 14 tubulaire, de préférence de forme conique avec le sommet du cône formé au niveau du bord libre de la jupe, est destinée à être introduite à force, c'est-à-dire emmanchée dans l'ouverture 31 du récipient 30. Pour limiter l'enfoncement de la base 4 dans l'ouverture 31 du récipient 30, le plateau 12 de la base s'étend en débord de la jupe 14 pour former une butée 16.This tubular skirt 14 forms a hollow body capable of allowing an interlocking connection with the container 30. In fact, this tubular skirt 14, preferably of conical shape with the top of the cone formed at the free edge of the skirt, is intended to be forced in, that is to say fitted into the opening 31 of the container 30. To limit the penetration of the base 4 into the opening 31 of the container 30, the plate 12 of the base extends protruding from the skirt 14 to form a stop 16.

Cette butée 16 prend appui contre le bord libre de l'ouverture 31 du récipient 30 en position de fin de course du bouchon 3 de fermeture à l'intérieur de l'ouverture 31 du récipient 30.This stop 16 bears against the free edge of the opening 31 of the container 30 in the end-of-travel position of the closure plug 3 inside the opening 31 of the container 30.

Dans les exemples représentés, les orifices 7 de vidange et 8 de remplissage portés tout les deux par le plateau 12 de la base 4 sont distincts et sont disposés côte-à-côte sur le plateau. En effet, l'orifice 8 de remplissage est décalé latéralement par rapport à l'orifice 7 de vidange, c'est-à-dire suivant une direction transversale à l'axe longitudinal de l'embout 6.In the examples shown, the orifices 7 for emptying and 8 for filling both carried by the plate 12 of the base 4 are distinct and are arranged side by side on the plate. In effect, the filling orifice 8 is offset laterally with respect to the emptying orifice 7, that is to say in a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis of the nozzle 6.

Cet embout 6 forme un corps tubulaire de forme générale conique en saillie de la face du dessus du plateau 12 de la base 4. Le débouché de l'orifice 7 de vidange est disposé à l'extrémité dudit embout 6.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.

L'orifice 8 de remplissage est, quant à lui, obturable de manière totale à l'aide d'un opercule 9 réalisé d'une seule pièce avec la base 4 et monté sur la base 4 mobile entre une position fermée d'obturation totale de l'orifice 8 de remplissage et une position ouverte dudit orifice 8.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.

Cet opercule 9 est donc indépendant en déplacement de l'orifice 7 de vidange. Cet opercule 9 est relié au plateau 12 de la base 4 par une liaison 11 charnière bien évidemment également réalisée d'une seule pièce avec l'opercule 9 et la base 4. Cet opercule 9 affecte ici la forme d'une languette munie, sur sa face tournée vers le bouchon 3 d'un téton 10 inséré dans l'orifice 8 de remplissage à l'état fermé dudit orifice 8 de remplissage. Il en résulte une étanchéité à la fermeture.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.

Par ailleurs, le montage à emboîtement du téton 10 dans l'orifice 8 de remplissage aide au maintien en position fermée de l'opercule 9 par encliquetage.Furthermore, 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.

D'autres formes complémentaires mâles, femelles entre l'opercule 9 et la base 4 peuvent être prévues pour renforcer cette liaison par encliquetage.Other complementary male and female shapes between the cover 9 and the base 4 can be provided to reinforce this snap connection.

Dans l'exemple représenté, l'orifice 8 de remplissage est ménagé sur une partie en retrait de la face du dessus du plateau 12 de la base de sorte que l'opercule s'étend dans l'épaisseur du plateau 12 de la base 4 en position fermée de l'orifice 8 de vidange.In the example shown, 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.

Le passage de l'opercule 9 de la position fermée à la position ouverte s'opère par simple traction sur la languette constitutive de l'opercule tandis que la fermeture s'opère par simple poussée sur la languette.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.

Ce bouchon 3 de fermeture, tel que décrit ci-dessus, est protégeable par une coiffe 17 de protection qui vient à recouvrement au moins de l'orifice 7 de vidange du bouchon 3 de fermeture.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.

Dans les exemples représentés, la coiffe 17 vient à recouvrement total du bouchon 3 de fermeture. Cette coiffe 17 est couplable par vissage au col 36 du récipient 30 et comporte à cet effet un taraudage 23. Ce taraudage 23 est de forme complémentaire du filetage 34 du récipient 30.In the examples shown, 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.

En outre, la coiffe 17 et le bouchon 3 de fermeture sont solidarisables l'un à l'autre par emboîtement dans une configuration dans laquelle la coiffe 17 obture le débouché à l'extérieur de l'orifice 7 de vidange du bouchon 3. En effet, la coiffe 17 ménage intérieurement un logement 20 à l'intérieur duquel l'embout du bouchon 3 est apte à s'insérer.In addition, the 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. In Indeed, the cap 17 internally housings a housing 20 inside which the end piece of the plug 3 is adapted to be inserted.

Ce logement 20 affecte ici la forme d'une cheminée non débouchante. Cette cheminée est munie intérieurement à son sommet d'un plot ou téton 21 qui s'insère à l'intérieur du débouché à l'extérieur de l'orifice 7 de vidange à l'état inséré de l'embout 6 du bouchon 3 de fermeture dans le logement 20 de la coiffe 17 comme illustré aux figures 9 et 10.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 .

Par ailleurs, le bouchon 3 et la coiffe 17 ménagent entre eux, à l'état emboîté, un espace 22 annulaire ouvert en direction de l'extérieur de la coiffe 17 pour permettre, lors de la pose du dispositif 2 de fermeture sur le récipient 30, en parallèle du vissage de la coiffe 17 sur le col 36 fileté du récipient 30, l'emmanchement à force de la base 4 du bouchon dans l'ouverture 31 du récipient 30.Furthermore, 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.

Dans les exemples représentés, la coiffe 17 est munie d'une sécurité enfant. A cet effet, la coiffe 17 comprend un élément 19 de coiffe extérieur et un élément 18 de coiffe intérieur logé au moins partiellement à l'intérieur de l'élément 19 de coiffe extérieur, l'élément 18 de coiffe intérieur et l'élément 19 de coiffe extérieur sont couplés de manière indémontable, et l'élément 19 de coiffe extérieur est monté mobile entre une position rapprochée et une position écartée de l'élément 18 de coiffe intérieur, l'élément 19 de coiffe extérieur étant monté libre en rotation par rapport à l'élément 18 de coiffe intérieur en position écartée desdits éléments 18, 19 de coiffe et étant monté solidaire en rotation de l'élément 18 de coiffe intérieur en position rapprochée des éléments 18, 19 de coiffe.In the examples shown, the cap 17 is provided with a child safety device. For this purpose, 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.

Dans les exemples représentés, l'élément 19 de coiffe extérieur affecte la forme d'un capuchon muni intérieurement depuis le sommet du capuchon d'une muraille délimitant un périmètre formé et formant de part et d'autre de la muraille un logement à l'intérieur du capuchon.In the examples shown, 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.

Le logement situé à l'intérieur de la muraille sert à la réception de la cheminée 20 équipant l'élément 18 de coiffe intérieur. Le logement situé à l'extérieur de la muraille sert à loger la paroi périphérique de délimitation de l'élément 18 de coiffe intérieur. En effet, l'élément 18 de coiffe intérieur se présente sous forme d'un manchon borgne fermé à une extrémité, en retrait de son extrémité, par une paroi qui porte la cheminée s'étendant en saillie vers l'extrémité du manchon.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. In fact, 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.

L'extrémité opposée du manchon est munie d'une bague 24 d'inviolabilité reliée au corps du manchon par des liaisons de type ponts formant des zones 27 de faiblesse ou des amorces de rupture aptes à se rompre sous l'effet d'un déplacement relatif en rotation du manchon et de la bague pour permettre une séparation de la bague 24 d'inviolabilité du manchon.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.

Le manchon comprend, en outre, un taraudage 23. C'est ce taraudage 23 de la coiffe qui permet une liaison par vissage de la coiffe avec le récipient 30 par coopération avec le filetage 34 du récipient 30. La bague 24 d'inviolabilité est donc séparable de la partie 23 taraudée de l'élément 18 de coiffe intérieur.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.

Pour permettre l'entraînement en rotation des éléments de coiffe intérieur 18 et extérieur 19 en position rapprochée desdits éléments, le bord libre de la muraille de l'élément de coiffe extérieur est muni de formes 26 mâles ou femelles complémentaires de formes 25 mâles ou femelles ménagées côté face de la paroi de l'élément de coiffe intérieur de laquelle fait saillie la cheminée.To allow the inner 18 and outer 19 cap elements to rotate in rotation in a position close to said elements, 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.

Ainsi, en position rapprochée des éléments de coiffe intérieur et extérieur, le bord libre de la muraille prend appui contre ladite paroi et entraîne l'élément 18 de coiffe intérieur lorsque l'élément de coiffe extérieur est entraîné en rotation.Thus, in the position close to the inner and outer cap elements, the free edge of the wall bears against said wall and drives the inner cap element 18 when the outer cap element is rotated.

La pose du dispositif 2 de fermeture, tel que décrit ci-dessus, sur le récipient 30 s'opère donc comme suit :
Le bouchon 3 de fermeture et la coiffe 17 sont couplés à emboîtement comme illustré à la figure 9 où l'embout 6 du bouchon 3 de fermeture est emboîté dans la cheminée de l'élément de coiffe 18 intérieur.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.

Ce dispositif 2 de fermeture est positionné au niveau de l'ouverture 31 du récipient 30 pour permettre le vissage de la coiffe 17 sur le col 36 du récipient et l'emmanchement du bouchon 3 de fermeture dans l'ouverture 31 du récipient 30. Dans cette position, les bords 35 de l'ouverture 31 du récipient 30 s'étendent en regard de l'espace 22 annulaire ménagé entre la jupe 14 du bouchon 3 de fermeture et la partie intérieure taraudée de la coiffe 17.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.

Le vissage de la coiffe sur le récipient 30, après rapprochement de l'élément de coiffe extérieur de l'élément de coiffe intérieur, entraîne donc, en parallèle, l'emmanchement du bouchon 3 de fermeture jusqu'à une position où la bague 24 d'inviolabilité de la coiffe 3 vient à recouvrement des crans 33 du récipient 30 comme illustré à la figure 4.The screwing of the cap on the container 30, after bringing the outer cap element closer to the inner cap element, therefore causes, in parallel, the fitting of the closure plug 3 to a position where the ring 24 inviolability of the cap 3 overlaps the notches 33 of the container 30 as illustrated in the figure 4 .

Ces crans 33, dits anti-rotation, sont aptes à empêcher la rotation de la bague 24 dans un sens de rotation correspondant au sens de dévissage de la coiffe 17 à l'état vissé de la coiffe 17 sur le récipient 30. C'est pourquoi, lors du dévissage de la coiffe 17, les ponts 27 de liaison entre la bague 24 et la partie taraudée de la coiffe se rompent.These notches 33, called anti-rotation, 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.

La coiffe peut alors être entièrement dévissée tandis que la bague reste en place sur le récipient comme illustré à la figure 5. La rupture des ponts matérialise le fait que le récipient a été ouvert. Une fois la coiffe enlevée, le récipient 30 peut être vidangé en utilisant l'orifice 7 de vidange par pressage du corps de flacon. Si un remplissage du flacon est nécessaire, il suffit d'écarter par soulèvement l'opercule du plateau de la base et de procéder au remplissage du récipient. Une fois le remplissage achevé, l'opercule peut être ramené en position fermée et maintenu dans ladite position par simple poussée exercée sur l'opercule. La coiffe peut alors être revissée sur le récipient jusqu'à une nouvelle utilisation.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. Once the cap has been removed, 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.

Lors de cette nouvelle utilisation, il conviendra de rapprocher, dans un premier temps, l'élément de coiffe extérieur de l'élément de coiffe intérieur pour les rendre solidaires en déplacement en rotation afin de permettre le dévissage de la coiffe. Cette opération de rapprochement de l'élément de coiffe extérieur de l'élément de coiffe intérieur est nécessaire pour toute opération de vissage ou de dévissage de la coiffe.During this new use, it will first be necessary to bring the outer cap element closer to the inner cap element to make them integral in displacement in rotation in order to allow the cap to be unscrewed. This operation of bringing the outer cap element closer to the inner cap element is necessary for any screwing or unscrewing operation of the cap.
