Abstract

The cap is for a liquid gas bottle and is in the form of a body of revolution. It has a base (1) to fix on the bottle head, an opening at its top and an opening in its side (6). The hole is large enough for charging the bottle by pipe without removing the cap. The cap is a frustum with the larger diameter at the top and the hole (6) takes up most of its height. The top opening width (9) is suitable for gripping by the hand and the side edges (7,8) of the hole are part of the frustum of a cone.

Description

Chapeau pour bouteille de stockage de gaz liquéfié
La présente invention concerne un chapeau pour bouteille de stockage de gaz liquéfié, à corps de révolution, comprenant une embase de fixation sur la tête de la bouteille, une ouverture à son sommet et au moins une ouverture sur son pourtour.
Liquefied gas storage bottle cap
The present invention relates to a cap for a liquefied gas storage bottle, with a body of revolution, comprising a mounting base on the head of the bottle, an opening at its top and at least one opening around its periphery.

On connatt des chapeaux pour bouteilles de gaz comprimé ou dissous de ce genre, de forme générale cylindrique, avec deux ouvertures latérales opposées permettant l'accès au robinet d'ouverture, et une partie supérieure bombée ou au contraire évasée, munie d'une ouverture. Lorsque l'on veut recharger la bouteille, on retire le chapeau, par exemple par dévissage d'un filetage auto-serreur de l'embase, puis branche le robinet sur le conduit de gaz de rechargement. Les bouteilles de gaz liquéfié (propane, butane notamment) comportent en général un chapeau cylindrique vissé sur le haut de la bouteille avec une ouverture supérieure, mais sans ouverture latérale, percé sur son pourtour de deux trous opposés dans lesquels s'engagent les extrémités d'une poignée de préhension, permettant de les manipuler et de les soulever.Lorsque l'on veut recharger la bouteille, il faut aussi enlever le chapeau en le dévissant, avant de brancher le raccord du robinet de la bouteille sur la canalisation de gaz liquéfié. Caps for compressed or dissolved gas cylinders of this kind are known, of generally cylindrical shape, with two opposite lateral openings allowing access to the opening valve, and a curved or flared upper part, provided with an opening. . When you want to refill the bottle, you remove the cap, for example by unscrewing a self-locking thread from the base, then connect the tap to the refueling gas pipe. Bottles of liquefied gas (propane, butane in particular) generally have a cylindrical cap screwed on the top of the bottle with an upper opening, but without lateral opening, pierced on its periphery with two opposite holes in which the ends of the '' a grip handle, allowing them to be manipulated and lifted. When you want to reload the bottle, you must also remove the cap by unscrewing it, before connecting the connection of the bottle tap to the liquefied gas pipe .

La nécessité de dévisser le chapeau de la bouteille avant d'effectuer son rechargement, puis de le revisser une fois l'opération terminée, complique l'opération de rechargement et prolonge sa durée. De plus le chapeau peut être mal revissé, ce qui abime le filetage de la bouteille et entraine des risques de chute lors des manutentions de celle-ci. The need to unscrew the cap from the bottle before reloading, and then screw it back in once the operation is complete, complicates the reloading operation and extends its duration. In addition, the cap can be screwed on badly, which damages the thread of the bottle and leads to the risk of falling when handling it.

La présente invention a pour but de procurer un chapeau de bouteille à gaz liquéfié qui permette de brancher immédiatement la bouteille sur la canalisation de gaz liquéfié, sans dévissage du chapeau, et qui assure une simplification et une accélération de l'opération de rechargement, tout en maintenant la facilité de préhension de la bouteille. The object of the present invention is to provide a cap for a liquefied gas cylinder which makes it possible to immediately connect the bottle to the liquefied gas pipe, without unscrewing the cap, and which ensures simplification and acceleration of the refilling operation, while maintaining the ease of gripping the bottle.

Le chapeau de bouteille selon l'invention est caractérisé en ce que les dimensions de l'ouverture de son pourtour sont suffisantes pour permettre le rechargement de la bouteille par branchement sur une canalisation de gaz liquéfié sans enlèvement préalable du chapeau. The bottle cap according to the invention is characterized in that the dimensions of the opening of its periphery are sufficient to allow the refilling of the bottle by connection to a liquefied gas pipe without prior removal of the cap.

Il répond en outre de préférence à au moins l'une des caractéristiques suivantes - il est de forme tronconique à grande base vers le haut, et l'ouverture latérale occupe la majeure partie de sa hauteur. It also preferably meets at least one of the following characteristics - it is frustoconical in shape with a large base upwards, and the lateral opening occupies most of its height.

- La largeur du bord supérieur de son ouverture latérale est suffisante pour permettre sa préhension à la main.- The width of the upper edge of its lateral opening is sufficient to allow it to be gripped by hand.

- Les bords latéraux de son ouverture sont constitués par des génératrices du corps de révolution, et de préférence des génératrices du tronc de cône.- The lateral edges of its opening consist of generatrices of the body of revolution, and preferably generatrices of the truncated cone.

- L'angle au centre sous- tendant son ouverture latérale est d'au moins 900.- The central angle underlying its lateral opening is at least 900.

- Il comporte deux ouvertures latérales opposées angulairement symétriques, l'une de celles-ci étant de hauteur moindre que l'autre.- It has two angularly symmetrical opposite side openings, one of these being of lesser height than the other.

- Le bord supérieur d'une ouverture latérale est muni d'un. - The upper edge of a side opening is provided with a.

bourrelet interne facilitant sa préhension.internal bead facilitating its gripping.

- Son ouverture supérieure occupe tout le cercle de sa grande base.- Its upper opening occupies the entire circle of its large base.

Il est décrit ci-après, à titre d'exemple et en référence aux figures du dessin annexé, un chapeau de bouteille de propane liquéfié selon l'invention
La figure 1 représente le chapeau en élévation vu du côté de l'ouverture permettant le passage du conduit de rechargement.
It is described below, by way of example and with reference to the figures of the appended drawing, a cap of a liquefied propane bottle according to the invention
Figure 1 shows the cap in elevation seen from the side of the opening allowing the passage of the recharging conduit.

La figure 2 représente une coupe selon l'axe vertical

Figure 3 shows a section along the horizontal axis III
III of Figure 1.

La figure 4 représente le chapeau en plan vu de dessus. Figure 4 shows the hat in plan seen from above.

Le chapeau possède une embase 1 à filetage auto-serreur 2, de type connu. Elle comporte un intervalle 3 permettant d'écarter légèrement les deux côtés de l'embase pour lui permettre de s'engager sur le filetage de la tête de la bouteille, et une zone de marquage en relief 4 pour le repérage de la bouteille ou des indications telles qu'une date d'épreuve. Son corps est tronconique, avec une ouverture avant 5 et une ouverture arrière 6. The cap has a base 1 with self-locking thread 2, of known type. It has an interval 3 making it possible to slightly separate the two sides of the base to allow it to engage on the thread of the head of the bottle, and an embossed marking zone 4 for locating the bottle or the indications such as a test date. Its body is frustoconical, with a front opening 5 and a rear opening 6.

L'ouverture avant est délimitée par des génératrices 7, 8 du tronc de cône, l'embase et le bord supérieur 9. Elle est destinée à permettre l'introduction, le raccordement à l'aide d'une pince, puis le retrait du conduit de chargement de la bouteille. Elle occupe environ 1050 du pourtour du tronc de cône et la majeure partie de sa hauteur. The front opening is delimited by generators 7, 8 of the truncated cone, the base and the upper edge 9. It is intended to allow the introduction, the connection using a clamp, then the withdrawal of the bottle loading line. It occupies about 1050 of the circumference of the truncated cone and most of its height.

L'ouverture arrière est délimitée par des génératrices 10, 11, un bord inférieur 12 et un bord supérieur 13. Ce dernier comporte un bourrelet interne 14 facilitant la préhension du chapeau en vue de la manipulation de la bouteille. Sa hauteur est moindre que celle de l'ouverture avant. Elle occupe également environ 1050 du pourtour du chapeau. The rear opening is delimited by generators 10, 11, a lower edge 12 and an upper edge 13. The latter has an internal bead 14 facilitating the gripping of the cap for handling the bottle. Its height is less than that of the front opening. It also occupies around 1050 around the circumference of the hat.

Le bord supérieur 15 du chapeau entoure l'ouverture supérieure 16, destinée à permettre l'accès pour la manoeuvre du robinet de la bouteille. The upper edge 15 of the cap surrounds the upper opening 16, intended to allow access for the operation of the valve of the bottle.

Le chapeau ci-dessus peut être en un métal tel que la fonte malléable ou à graphite sphéroidal, l'acier, un alliage léger, ou en une matière plastique présentant des propriétés de résistance mécanique et d'élasticité suffisantes. The above cap may be made of a metal such as malleable or spheroidal graphite cast iron, steel, a light alloy, or a plastic material having sufficient mechanical strength and elasticity properties.

Bien que le chapeau de bouteille qui vient d'être décrit ci-dessus en référence aux figures du dessin paraisse la forme de réalisation préférable de l'invention, on comprendra que diverses modifications peuvent lui être apportées sans sortir du cadre de l'invention. Il pourrait en particulier être fixé sur la tête de la bouteille par d'autres moyens qu'un filetage auto-serreur. Les bords de ses ouvertures pourraient ne pas être constitués par des génératrices ou des circonférences, mais présenter une forme curviligne.  Although the bottle cap which has just been described above with reference to the figures of the drawing appears to be the preferable embodiment of the invention, it will be understood that various modifications can be made to it without departing from the scope of the invention. It could in particular be fixed on the head of the bottle by other means than a self-locking thread. The edges of its openings could not be constituted by generatrices or circumferences, but present a curvilinear shape.
