FR2510521A1 - SAFETY CLOSURE DEVICE FOR CONTAINERS RECEIVING A COVER, ESPECIALLY FOR BINS - Google Patents

Abstract

THE INVENTION RELATES TO A SAFETY CLOSURE DEVICE FOR CONTAINERS RECEIVING A LID. THE DEVICE INCLUDES, SHAPED SENSITIVELY RECESSED FROM THE PERIPHERAL 7, ON A SMALL WIDTH, A PORT 8 OPENING ABOVE CONTAINER 1 RESPECTIVELY OUTSIDE ITS SIDE FACE 6 AND BELOW PART 7A OF THE SAID EDGE FROM THE LATERAL FACE. IN THIS WAY, IT IS POSSIBLE TO EASILY PASS THROUGH THIS ORIFICE A LEAD TIE WHICH WILL ENSURE THE INVIOLABILITY OF THE CONTAINER WHEN THE COVER IS IN PLACE.

Description

The present invention essentially relates to

  a safety closing device for receiving containers

  a lid, in particular for bins with

  their upper part a reinforced border making sense

  around the container and on which the edge comes

fit the lid.

  Frequently, in this type of device, the cover hingedly raised around a hinge on one side of the container, the other side can be kept closed by means of a padlock which passes through orifices or loops provided for in FIG. this effect on the lid and on the wall facing the container Possibly, the padlock can be replaced by a chain which will itself receive a padlock, or by a flexible link on which will be applied a sealing

  security ensuring the inviolability of the container.

  The disadvantage of the padlock system is obvious because it

  is expensive and requires the user to

  The solution of the flexible link on which is applied a security seal is more attractive Unfortunately, the known devices of this type are difficult to implement, the operation being relatively long and can not

to be automated.

  The object of the invention is to solve these difficulties by providing a device making it possible to quickly and economically apply a flexible link that will receive a security seal, this operation being able to be automated in addition.

  because of the particular conformation of the device.

  By "sealing" is meant any application on the two joined strands of the bond of a capsule, made of tin, plastic or any other generally thermoformable material applied by means of a special clamp marking an imprint

  indelible, the opening can only be obtained by rup-

  ture of this "filling" or the link itself, according to a

than well known.

  The device which is the subject of the invention is characterized

  what he understands, formed substantially behind the

  perie of said border, on a small width, an orifice

  opening respectively above the container to the outside

  of its lateral face, and below a part of the

  said edge outside the contiguous lateral face Ue of the container, in order to pass a safety closure link which will pass through a corresponding orifice formed in the cover. In a general manner, said orifice is directed substantially obliquely with respect to vertically, the container being

  supposed to bear on its bottom arranged horizontally and formally

  In this way, it becomes extremely simple to engage the safety tie in said orifice, for example by applying to the inlet of the orifice, over the upper edge of the container, a reel automatiqe a wire or plastic that will form the safety bond and will engage automatically being guided in said orifice to come out on the

  outer face of the container below said border.

  The invention and its implementation, will appear more

  clearly with the help of the following description made in

  reference to the accompanying drawings illustrating by way of example an embodiment In these drawings

  Figure 1 shows a half-section left and half

  right elevation a container having the orifice for receiving the safety link-according to the invention,

  FIG. 2 is a view from above of the illustrated container

  from the top of the container to the illustrated position

  1, the container being capped with its lid, FIG. 5 shows in section with cutaway and on a larger scale the detail surrounded V in FIG.

  security system has been put in place.

  According to the embodiment illustrated in the drawings,

  perceives a container 1 constituted by a tray, for example mold

  plastic material of generally

  With a bottom 2 of o rise four lateral faces 3, 4, 5, 6 going slightly flaring upward and

  ending at the top of the bin with a border

  reinforced 7 all around the container.

  According to the illustrated embodiment, a portion 7a of the border 7 is reinforced and extended locally downwards over a certain height as it clearly appears.

at drawings.

  Behind this reinforced portion 7a, that is to say set back from the periphery of the edge is formed an orifice

  8 which opens respectively above the container to the outside

  As can be seen more clearly in FIG. 5, the orifice 8 is directed generally substantially obliquely with respect to the vertical (the container being assumed to bear on its bottom disposed horizontally) and forming a concavity directed towards

  In the illustrated example and more

  8, the orifice 8 comprises a first passage 9 introducing the link slightly inclined to the vertical, a second passage 10

  which follows and connects more inclined, and a third

  sth passage 11 even more inclined to guide the link to the outside It thus clearly appears that if we introduce from above in the orifice 8 a flexible link such

  than shown in dashed lines at 12 ', this one will be automatic-

  guided by passages 9, 10 and 11 and could be

  at the outlet on the outside of the container wall.

  If, beforehand, a lid 13 has been applied to the

  container, which lid 13 has opposite orifice 8 a corresponding orifice 14, it will be easy to pass the

  12 'through the cover and behind the rim

  forced 7a of the container, after which we can fold the

  link 12, tighten and apply safety seal 15.

  The operation will be further facilitated if the cover 13 comprises

  a rib 16 protruding above it

  in the extension of the first pass 9 (Figure 5).

  With such a provision, the application of the link may

  be automated, a link reel that can come into

  automatically turn against rib 16, turn the ribbon

  necessary link, after which the link will be cut to the

length and sealed.

  In the example illustrated in the drawings, and as it appears more clearly in Figures 1 and 4, the construction of the tray has been assumed symmetrical and the lid is articulated on one side by a rabbet 17 which is taken under the border 7 7a of the container, while on the other side, it has a simple dropped edge 18 which is applied over the top edge of the container, the lid lock

  being assured once the link 12 is set up.

  It appears that various variants may be

  in the described embodiment Thus, if the construction

  the tray is symmetrical as shown, the lid can

  on either side, two edges such as 18 and the closing

  lid can be provided by the passage of two links on both sides of the container Similarly, the container may not be symmetrical, and include only one

  the orifice 8, and in this case the lid is advantageously

  attached as shown in Figure 4-being articulated

on one of its edges.

  According to an advantageous arrangement of the invention,

  and as it appears more clearly in Figure 5, the

  10 and 11 are formed by the upper wall of the handle 19 for handling the container.

thus economical and well adapted.
