Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a cap for a container with a neck, intended to block a stopper in the neck of said container.
  • the invention relates in particular to a locking cap suitable for vials, for example for a pharmaceutical product, requiring the total removal of the stopper and the cap for the extraction or reconstitution of the product.
  • EP2814752 which offers a cap locking device on a container with a neck, completely removable.
  • This device comprises an outer ring shaped to cover the stopper and surround the upper flange of the neck of the container. It also comprises an internal ring in the form of a ring, suitable for being housed in the external ring and provided with lower internal notches intended to bear under said flange in order to be fixed on the container.
  • the inner ring also includes outer notches allowing it to be secured in the outer ring.
  • Such a cap makes it possible to block a stopper in the neck of the container, said stopper being held in the internal ring.
  • locking devices are commonly used to store pharmaceuticals in vials. Some products are taken using a syringe, inserted through the elastomer stopper, after removing a protective cap from the upper part of the locking device. Other products require the full opening of the bottle to be extracted or to be reconstituted.
  • the aforementioned document provides a frangible zone, at the level of the outer ring of the locking device, capable of being broken in order to allow the opening of said ring and its withdrawal with respect to the collar of the container.
  • the internal ring is for its part provided with a deformable and breakable bridge, capable of being broken to allow the removal of said ring relative to the flange, allowing access to the stopper and its removal from the neck of the container.
  • a drawback of this solution comes from the lack of repeatability of the opening between two devices, in particular from the breaking of the breakable deformable bridge, because it is difficult to pull repeatedly on the inner ring until the bridge breaks.
  • Another drawback of this solution comes from the lack of repeatability of the assembly between the inner and outer rings, which assembly must ensure the tightness of the closure.
  • the document EP2464577 presents a device for locking a stopper in the neck of a container which is reliable and repeatable in terms of closure sealing but does not allow the complete removal of said device to extract the stopper.
  • This device comprises the characteristics of the preamble of claim 1.
  • the document US5269429 provides a closure cap comprising a breaking point, so as to allow removal of said cap.
  • the present invention proposes an alternative solution to known solutions and aimed at remedying all or part of the drawbacks of the state of the art.
  • a locking cap reliably sealing the closure and allowing ergonomic and secure removal of the cap on the one hand, and on the other hand, repeatable on a plurality of caps, to extract the elastomeric stopper and access the contents of the container.
  • the present invention relates to a locking cap 100 for a container 200 with a neck, intended to block a stopper 10 in the neck 201 of said container 200.
  • the container 200 may in particular take the form of a bottle, having a neck 201 of. circular opening, terminating in a flange 202 flared with respect to the outer perimeter of the neck 201.
  • the outer diameter of the flange 202 is greater than the outer diameter of the neck 201, as illustrated in Figures la, lb.
  • the stopper 10 has a circular section and a T-shape with a head 11 and a foot 12, the head 11 having a diameter greater than the foot 12.
  • the foot 12 of the stopper 10 is completely inserted into the neck 201, the head 11 locks against the collar 202.
  • the stopper 10 when the contents of the bottle is intended to be lyophilized, the stopper 10 has an opening 13 in its base 12, to allow the passage of the evaporative flows as long as the stopper 10 is not completely inserted into the neck 202 ( figures 1b and 1d ).
  • the cap 100 when it is associated with the stopper 10, is capable of adopting two positions on the container 200: a first position, called the intermediate holding position, in which the stopper 10 is partially inserted into the neck 201 ( figures 1a, 1b ). It is in this position that the container 200 can be subjected to a freeze-drying step, because the partial depression of the stopper allows the evaporative flows to pass through the opening 13 made in the base 12 of the stopper 10.
  • a first position called the intermediate holding position
  • the stopper 10 is partially inserted into the neck 201 ( figures 1a, 1b ). It is in this position that the container 200 can be subjected to a freeze-drying step, because the partial depression of the stopper allows the evaporative flows to pass through the opening 13 made in the base 12 of the stopper 10.
  • the cap 100 associated with the stopper 10 can also adopt a second position, called a locking position, in which the stopper 10 is fully inserted, and locked in the neck 201 by the cap 100 ( figures 1c, 1d ). In this position, the stopper 10 hermetically closes the container 200, the foot 12 (and therefore the opening 13 when it is present) being completely surrounded by the neck 201 of the container 200.
  • the cover 100 comprises an outer body 30 and a cage 20 configured to fit together and lock axially in said outer body 30.
  • the cage 20 comprises an upper ring 21, a plurality n of branches 22 connected to the upper ring 21 and defining therewith a general cylindrical shape of the cage 20, of central axis z ( figures 2a, 2b ).
  • the cage 20 also includes n / 2 first bridges 25 and n / 2 second bridges 26, each connecting two neighboring branches 22 between them.
  • the first bridges 25 and the second bridges 26 are arranged alternately around the perimeter of the cage 20.
  • the cage has six branches 22, three first bridges 25 and three second bridges 26.
  • the first bridges 25 occupy between 20% and 40% of the perimeter of the cage 20, for example 30%; and the second bridges 26 occupy between 40% and 70% of said perimeter, for example 60%.
  • the residual perimeter to reach 100% is occupied by branches 22.
  • the cage 20 comprises a plurality of first tongues 23, each being supported by a first bridge 25.
  • Each first tongue 23 is flexible and inclined with respect to the branches 22 towards the inside of the cage 20, at an angle between 20 ° and 60 °, advantageously around 45 °, in the direction of the upper ring 21.
  • first tabs 23 are intended to block the stopper 10 inside the cage 20, against the upper ring 21, when the stopper 10 is associated with the cap 100.
  • the first tabs 23 flex to allow the head 11 of the device to pass through. stopper 10 when the latter is introduced into the cage 20, and come to be blocked under the head 11, to prevent the stopper 10 from coming out of said cage 20.
  • the cap 10 remains firmly attached to the cap 100 and no accidental separation between cap 10 and cap 100 can take place, in particular, when the cap 100 is in its intermediate holding position on the container. 200.
  • the cage 20 advantageously comprises a plurality of second tongues 24, each supported by a second bridge 26.
  • Each second tongue 24 is flexible and inclined with respect to the branches 22 towards the inside of the cage 20, with a angle between 20 ° and 60 °, advantageously around 30 °, in the direction of the upper ring 21.
  • These second tabs 24 are intended to remain above the collar 202, slightly raised or in contact thereon, when the cap 100 is in the intermediate holding position ( figure 1a ). In this intermediate holding position, the second bridges 26 and the branches 22 are intended to at least partially surround the collar 202. This configuration allows a more stable and secure mechanical holding of the plug 10 / cap 100 assembly, during potentials. lyophilization steps.
  • the second tabs 24 are intended to bear under the collar 202 of the neck 201 of the container 200, when the cap 100 is in the locking position ( figures 1c ). Indeed, during the passage in the locked position, the cap 10 / cap 100 assembly will descend into / around the neck 201 of the container 200, so as to completely depress the foot 12 of the stopper 10 in the neck 201, until that its head 11 rests on the collar 202. When driving in, the second tabs 24 flex and retract to allow the collar 202 to pass through, and come to be blocked under the latter, thus locking the stopper 10 on the container 200.
  • the first tabs 23 are erased because they are resting against the peripheral edge of the collar 202. They therefore do not remain under the head 11 of the plug 10 and let the latter rest on the collar 202.
  • the first bridges 25 then surround the peripheral edge of the collar 202.
  • the second tabs 24 are configured to allow a passage from the intermediate holding position to the locking position of the cover 100 associated with the stopper 10, when a low force between 30 N and 70 N, preferably between 30N and 50N , is applied on the cap 100.
  • the second tabs 24 have an inclination relative to the branches 22 of the order of 20 ° to 60 °, a thickness between 0.6 and 1.3mm and a flexibility conferred by the choice of the material forming the cage 20 .
  • This advantageous configuration thanks to which the passage into the locking position is made possible by applying a force of low amplitude, makes it possible to collectively lock a plurality of caps 100 on their respective containers 200, by means of a plate exerting a force. in the upper part of the plurality of caps 100.
  • This low closing force also makes it possible to compensate for the large variations in height of the containers 200 and thus to achieve closure of all of said containers present under the closing plate without generating any broken.
  • the locking cap 100 according to the present invention is completely removable and allows the removal of the stopper 10 for full opening of the container.
  • the cage 20 comprises at least one second bridge 26 supporting an opening tab 27 inclined towards the outside of the cage 20, in the direction of the upper ring 21.
  • the (at least one) second bridge 26 also has a zone breakable 28 adjacent to said opening tab 27 ( figures 2a, 2b ).
  • the outer body 30 also has a breakable part 35 ( figures 3a, 3b ).
  • the outer body 30 is in a generally cylindrical shape with a central axis z. One end 30a of the outer body 30 is closed and the other end 30b is open. The open end 30b is designed to accommodate the cage 20, which will fit into the outer body 30, placing the upper ring 21 against the inner surface of the closed end 30a.
  • the breakable part 35 may for example consist of a portion of the closed end 30a and of the cylindrical wall, said portion being delimited by a double groove at which the thickness of the outer body 30 is reduced ( figure 3b ).
  • the outer body 30 is configured to completely surround the cage 20 when the latter is fitted, so as to prevent any access to said cage 20 from the outside, when the cap 100 locks the stopper 10 on the container 200. In the position of locking the cover 100, the outer body 30 therefore prevents in particular access to the opening tab 27.
  • a capsule 32 is fixed to the outer surface of the closed end 30a of the outer body 30.
  • the capsule 32 may include a tenon intended to pass through an orifice (visible on the figure 3a ) present for example at the center of the closed end 30a of the outer body 30, and in particular in the portion of the end belonging to the breakable part 35.
  • the fixing between the cap 32 and the outer body 30 can be done by snap-fastening .
  • the opening tab 27 is initially designed so that it is inclined towards the outside of the cage 20, in the direction of the upper ring 21; due to its elastic properties, it is able to fold back parallel to the inner walls of the outer body 30, when the cage 20 is axially locked in the outer body 30.
  • the opening tab 27 is recovered.
  • the opening tab 27 advantageously has an elongated shape, which makes gripping all the more easier.
  • the gripping and the application of a tension force on the opening tab 27 causes the breakage at the level of the breakable zone 28 of the second bridge 26: the cage 20 can then be easily detached from the neck 201 of the container 200 leaving free access to removing the cap 10.
  • the opening tongue 27, by virtue of its shape, its inclination and its location relative to the breakable zone 28 formed on a second bridge 26, promotes reliable and repeatable rupture on a plurality of cages 20.
  • the outer body 30 comprises a circular groove 31, formed in its cylindrical inner walls and able to cooperate with complementary means of the cage 20, to axially lock the cage 20 in the outer body 30 ( figure 3b ).
  • These means are, for example, notches 221 arranged on the branches 22 of the cage 20 (visible on the figures 2a and 2b ) and designed to come to lock in the groove 31, when the cage 20 is completely inserted into the outer body 30.
  • the outer body 30 can thus rotate freely around the central axis z, when the cap 100 is in the locking position on the container 200, without damaging the cage 20 and risk affecting the reliability and tightness of closure of the container 200.
  • each first bridge 25 is designed to provide an open space 251 between it and the flange 202, when the cap 100 is in its intermediate holding position ( figure 2b ).
  • the cage 20 thus has n / 2 open spaces 251, distributed around the periphery of the cage 20, allowing efficient evacuation of the evaporative flows during lyophilization steps.
  • each open space 251 has a height, in the axial direction z, of between 0.2mm and 2mm, and a width, according to the perimeter of the cage 20, substantially equal to the width of a first bridge 25.
  • the height of the open space 251 can be defined as the distance, in the axial direction z, between the first bridge 25 and a line marking the start of the inclination of the second tabs 24 towards the inside of the cage 20. Indeed , it is at this line of the start of inclination that the contact between the collar 202 and the second tongues 24 is likely to be established, thus defining the intermediate holding position.
  • the various elements forming the cap 100 according to the present invention are preferably made by molding a plastic material, compatible with lyophilization processes (when required), with gamma sterilization processes. , autoclave and ethylene oxide (ETO), and with the intended fields of application.
  • the cage 20, the outer body 30 and the capsule 32 could be formed from materials such as polycarbonate (PC), polypropylene (PP) or polybutylene terephthalate (PBT).
  • the capsule 32 may be formed from flexible plastic materials such as, for example, polypropylene (PP), to facilitate its gripping.
  • the cap 10 can be inserted into the cap 100 after assembly of the cage 20, the outer body 30 and the cap 32 forming the cap 100, the locking cap 100 and the cap can advantageously be stored separately. before use.
